unsure

I was dating a great guy that I worked with at the time. Things were going great and then suddenly things changed. We broke up, but remained friends. We talked all the time about work, life, new relationships. I thought that we had both moved on. About 4 months ago he moved about 3hrs away to be with his new girlfriend and we lost touch. A co-worker of mine, (a good friend of his), told me the other day that my ex is still in love with me and that he would go out with me again in a heartbeat if I would give him the chance. Then, out of the blue, my ex called me yesterday, just to talk. He told me that he had broken up with his girlfriend and was thinking about moving back home. I care a lot about him, but I’m not sure if I can let him back into my heart. I don’t want to get hurt again. What would you do?

Answer #1

i think you should give him a chance and it does’nt seem right like u guys are’nt having a connection than just say lets just stay friends and if you guys start getting that connection than keep on doin it just take it slow so you know what’s happenin

Answer #2

i agree with locoluna, “fool me once, shame on you, Fool me twice, shame on me”

1), i’d look at the reason y’all broke up in the first place, if it was truly a trust issue then kiddo if you didn’t trust him once, ur not going to for a while……now unless someone knows ur circumstances of the breakup maybe we can help you further, but if it was some stupid fight that snowballed outta control and that led to this……keep with friends but keep on monitoring his moves as a friend.

2). did he specifically say that he wants to move back because of you???? because from the way you described he said “move back home” aka “the city he moved out of”???? if you really were friends in the meantime, y did he lose all communication with you when moving away???? cmon lets b realistic here, if I care about a girl i’m not just gonna cut off all communications, doesn’t matter if I keep just a hi and a hello with her everyday I would……..

3). I don’t know how old you are sweetheart (i don’t generally ask women) but you should know by now in the dating game that men will help their male friends through anything, its like an unspoken bond, you hook ur friends back up……..Now that being said, is this supposed co-worker(HIS FRIEND) reliable and do you trust him more than you do the X-guy???? and if you do maybe its worth considering, but i wouldn’t just jump into that with both feet and clothes on………think about it this way the who does the friend have loyalties to a) a chick who he works with, and maybe has no interest in or vice versa or b) on the other hand the friend who might do the same to get him laid????? and if they’re any good a friends he’ll use the demeaning concept of “bros b4 hoes”

i don’t know, i’d judge his loyalty through friendship first and then maybe if you still think he’s the one and you still wanna give it a shot, be cautious and think it through……..because sometimes this becomes a vicious cycle where the guy thinks he can do whatever and come right back because all guys know that a good of beautiful and well deserving women are self-concious and with low self-esteem excuse me, the appropriate word is not coming to mind and hence they feel like they can use them as a door mat………..stay away from that……….start having your own group of friends, and c if he keeps on bothering ya, and if he does maybe just hang out with him once in a while in a friends setting and don’t let your emotions get the best of you……..but if the boy is serious about his “LOVE” he won’t give up, and if he’s persistent for a decent amount of time, maybe you can give him a try…….what do you say????

good luck

hope this helps :-)

If the meantime you did not make an other b/f , and you feel the needs of having one just let him back into your life, but be careful with letting him into your heart. I think for that you may wait at least one year.

Answer #4

It all depends on why you broke up in the first place, if he broke your trust or hurt you then it will be hard to trust him again and it may not be worth going thru the pain again. On the other hand, maybe he has learned from his mistakes and is ready to make a commitment to you, if he is willing to move back to be with you it sounds like he loves you alot. its up to you but i would take into consideration why you broke up in the first place and work on that for a while.
