    ive read your article because i broke up with my boyfriend 2 months ago. our relationship last for 4 years.. i want him back because i realized how much i love him and we just have a misunderstanding.. that night im very confused and i said its over.. but after the break up we still txt each other.. then he became cold to me after a month. when i texted him that i want him he refused because he said “im thinking with someone else” and that someone else is her 2year ex girlfriend.. it hurts too much,, we talked in person and i ask him if he can come back to me.. he said no. because he is courting this girl.. and i just knew that they are in a relationship now.. and he is planning to see his girlfriend now.. i dont know what to do. but i still love him and want him back.. he didnt text me because i said it to him because if he text me, i will reply to him right away. he said to me that i need to move on.. he wants us to be friends.. what am i going to do? it seem that he is already happy.. please help me..

      Try the NC rule for now. That is the only logical play you have.

      i really want to recover from him but it is really hard when you love that person.. its been 4 years relationship and its really hard for me. but for him its like nothing.. he chose that girl and not me.. and that hurts so bad.. do you think i still have the chance? or do you think he still have feelings for me? im from philippines and im 21 years old.. i know im still young but we really dont know if ill find another guy that i truly love and will truly love me no matter what.. at least i never regret trying to get him back.. i did everything i can.. but he doesnt want me anymore.. but im still hoping that he will come back.. I am really happy that you help us women, there are only few guys who will understand us.. and you really are kind, i really appreciate your help.. my english is bad.. i hope u still understand what i saying here. hehe. God Bless you..

      Well, the good news is that you are still very young. So, there isn’t as much pressure to get him back.

      September 19, 2013 at 7:04 pm

      I think you do need to continue NC but you really need to focus on healing and evolving during NC. You are putting too much emphasis on him right now.

    11. Arianne

      September 15, 2013 at 1:49 am

      so i just continue not texting him?

      August 26, 2013 at 5:35 pm

      I think it might be a good idea to start focusing on yourself and kind of healing a little bit.

    hi
    i’ve met a guy a year ago and we immediately started a sex friends kinda relationship.the sex wasnt that breath taking(i couldnt let myself go and have a good time,too stresssed)!but it didnt matter we were very close,and exclusive (he did ask for it) but it lasted just 3 months,then we started arguing all the time and “broke up” even though we werent officially toghether.after one month we took back our friendship where we left it and remain almost besties;meanwhile we had sex a couple of times.but nothing more;he started seeing other girls but nothing serious and i started to fall in love with him.
    he had doubts about my feelings,but kept silent,so did i
    it has been 2 months now that i put some distance between us because he changed,and doesnt care about me and i told him so;but he said nothing.
    he kept talling me since the first day i met him that he loves the fact that i know what i want and go for it and say it out loud,but it has been i while i stoped being sincere about my feelings and he noticed it
    i dont know if i should say that i love him or just get back to be his good buddy then try to seduce him again

    Hello, I think your a kool guy for posting such great advice. Going through a break up for a week now and i am really sad. Been in a LDR relationship with a guy i have never met in person. dont laugh, its been one of the coolest, fun and exciting experiences for me. Saw him years before and liked him and just by chance we met through a friend. He initiated contact through a phone call and we never stopped until the other day. My concern started when he promised to visit in Christmas I became excited and had plans to make it wonderful but he canceled because of his job etc. I was disappointed. He still kept in touch called often and text even when I didn’t have money to do so. And now months later he said he would come again. That also fell through and now I became confused questioning if he would ever come, he then said something that really hurt that he doesn’t want to disappoint me by telling me he’s coming and doesn’t so he can’t really say when. That made me feel that everything that he said he felt about me maybe untrue because he is educated, he works why can’t he visit? I would like to but I was thought its not right for a girl to travel 22,000 miles to meet a man first. Or is it? Since then I have been a little reserve as I don’t know which direction he wants to take our cyber love affair.. :).. We tried to stay connected intimate chats I could call him any hours of the night and he would answer, even though he lives 6 hours away, he would do the same too, but the other day I called and he seem perturbed but did mention it the next day that he was tired and its not a good idea to call that late … Hmmm I did as he said but he then called me late didn’t get me but then text to tell me he just woke up and thought of me. I tried to change this up a little took some sexy pic not nude ones but very scantily dressed lol, a scarf and undies he told me he loved it and that I was his and he is mine… To me that felt vague, I was hoping he would have been more clear to ask me to be his official girlfriend, I know we are cyber couple but it does feel very Real. I called him back the next day told him to delete it and he was very upset, I told him I was sorry to hurt him it was never my intention but I felt I was going to fast when someone I haven’t met… He then wrote wrote me and said he has found out that I am conservative and he is not. And it doesn’t think I will change and that he ‘Kinda’ gave up which then hurt my feelings. I replied to his text telling him how I felt without disrespect or anger and ended it by saying sometimes dreams don’t come true and that he should take care…HE HAS NOT REPLIED….. Does this means he doesn’t care? I miss our talks I even want to go see him first …. I just want us to give it a chance… What do u suggest? Thanks ALOT

      Sorry, you tempted me.

    I have a very complicated story.. I met with my ex boyfriend in Prague, where I am currently living and from that time we were in non stop contact with him: talkig daily through phone calls, skype, whatsapp, etc. He came to Prague for a St. Valentines day from America (he lives in Texas). Everything was great, he was very caring, lots of attention and different surprises/presents. After few months of our relationships, he invited me to America, he wanted me to meet his friends/parents. But before my trip I found out not a very nice messages he was sending to other girls (he gave me his password for his gmail acount in order for me to check the fly ticket). I told him that i am sorry I didnt want to check your email, but while i was checking my ticket, some girls started to write you messages through gmail talk. He has been exchanging some messages with some girls from Russia and he ve been travelled several times to Moscow (as he said for the business purposes). I still decided to go even though my trust was almost zero. I came to America, he has been ery different from what I saw in Prague, he was always asking for his space, he always needed his time (i came for just 2 weeks, but i havent seen much of the city at all, as he ve been always tired after his work, after coming from the office he was taking a nap and then going to the gym, and I was home most of the time just by myself). He changed so much, he told me before that he is a moody person, but I didn;t know that it will be until that level. Sometimes when I ve been trying to come and kiss him, he was telling me that he doesnt feel like kissing me now and if i can leave him alone and let him play video games. I was very upset about this. The last day when i was suppose to leave, he drop me to the airport, but didnt even helo with my luggage. We’ve been talking with him another few months through skype, but he was always complaining that i am asking for too much attention and he is busy at work and he has his own stuff to do. And at the same time i see him sitting in facebook and instragram, liking and adding new girls. I wrote him a message, saying come on work, and stop sitting in social networks if u dont have time.. the reaction on this message was the following: he just deleted me from facebook and instagram and never added me there again. I wrote him that i also dont like that he is adding girls in facebook, while he said that i dont feel insecure and he doesnt want this relationships anymore, because he feels under stress all the time.. I accepted his decision, but i found it hard for myself to move on.. it is been 2 months already once we broke up, but he doesn;t want to leave me alone.. from time to time he writes me stupid messages, saying that he wants kids from me and that he think we will be able to get back together, but at the moment he is happy alone.. and he aid he doesnt know what would happen if we get closer (as we had a long distance relationships). What do u think about all this situation? was I wrong in checking his email and finding out stuff i didnt like? or should i just forget this guy and move on?

      Hahaha I guess you were wrong doing it but you now know his true colors so I say no big deal.

      You clearly want him back. My question to you is why? Do you have a really good reason for wanting him back?

    Hi
    My ex dumped me in April after 3 years
    He was a continual game player he accused me of continually cheating but I have never. Informed me that he has a new woman . But has continually contacted via email saying why did I two time him. I repeated never had. I love this man deeply. While he was with me he continually asked me not to give up as he had issues and was slowly dealing with them . I reassured him that I would always be there for him and have. I never believed that this woman was anything as since then every week I have had emails say how bad I treated him and I never. He use to come and see me get board and disappear if things didnt go his way. So I began to go out the days I didn’t see him as I never knew when he would turn up. Doing this was when he thought I was seeing other people but I never did . I continually told him I was never. Told him to spend more time with me. It he couldn’t be said as had three boys and work commitments . Which I accepted one day he would commit to me surely ?? Now he gave me advice telling me to move on life’s great with new woman and he wasn’t telling me to hurt me only not too hurt me. So I replied I have Thankyou( I haven’t)then decided to do no contact rule.. I have had 4 emails since asking to be his friend he would hate if I never contacted him again, please please stay in touch.
    If life is so great why does he keep contacting me ?
    Please help Fred x

      Boy, he accused you of cheating and you didn’t. He sounds like he has some insecurity there.

      This is supposed to happen during the NC rule and it is a really good sign in my opinion.

    So I’m 35 my ex partner is 31. We were in a 10 year same sex relationship. To sum it up 6 years ago we both received custody of my nieces. She left in march of this year. I know the reasons why and in the 5 months since I have changed all of them in myself and more. I didn’t pay enough attention, put my mother first, never wanted to do anything. This all started to happen after the kids came. I feel like I was in a depression. I was also her first same sex relationship, she lost her mom at 19, had to raise her siblings, etc. she said in march she needed to find herself (she also had weight loss surgery a year ago and lost over 100lbs) so 2 months later is dating her brothers best friend. I am in love with her, I want to marry her. I want our family back. She knows I am sad and how I feel and where I stand. Giving we have kids the NC will be hard but I can keep it to regarding the kids only. I have tried the NC and it lasted maybe 2 weeks and she got sick and I reached out, then it was her moms bday and I reached out. I will do anything I can to have her back for no other reasons than I know we are meant to be together, I love her more than anything, and I think we just need to rekindle what we first had. Please help everyone said I’m crazy for holding hope, but this is my family at stake not some high school 3 month relationship. (And yes I have done all the donts)

    So my ex and I were dating for a year and a half. We had a really good relationship together and never fought. Right before he ended it with me he began talking to someone else and actually left me for her. He said that he just has this feeling with her that he’s never had before. I went 3 weeks without speaking to him and he tried contacting me during this time but I just ignored him. When we spoke again he said he really wants to be friends because we had such a good relationship together and always had a good time. But when I asked why he left me he said the love just wasn’t there amymore. We continued talking and had some good conversations until he started talking about his girlfriend a lot. They are getting pretty serious and I don’t know if I should just move on or wait around. He said there is a part of him that still loves me in some way. I kinda ruined it and told him I still love him and don’t like talking about his girl so I told him I need time for myself to decide if remaining friends is for the best. I think I’m going to start the 30 days all over again but idk if that will do anything

      Did you know that rebound relationships can start before he has even broken up with you? It’s true!

      Just somehting that popped into my head.

      Yes, I think the 30 day NC is worth a try again if you feel that is right.

    hi! so my ex and i started dating when we first joined college, and even though we dated for only 3 months we were really serious, like want to meet each others parents and grow old together serious! even our frnds would be like – you guys are so getting married, we were like perfect couple! and then out of the blue (like literally out of the blue, we didn’t even fight), he broke up with me and all he said was that he has no space in his life! so for 1 and half years i tried to get him back and i was there for him through everything! even though we broke up, for one and a half years i was always his person, he would call me whether he was happy or sad or anything! we still had that thing you know! and we had mutual frnds so we would always hang out together! and then he recently started dating a girl who just joined college! and it hurts like crazy! they are all up in my face! i see them together, holding hands, all in love and he does all the things he used to do to me and its just right there, like he’s not even like considering the fact that i’m right there! i love him so much and now hes all lovey dovey with her and i have no idea what to do! they just look so happy!

      Wow, he doesn’t even have the decency to not go full on PDA?

      Have you tried anything as extreme as a No Contact rule before?

    2. farheen

      August 10, 2013 at 6:06 pm

      yes i did….. for a month long back…. and he actually came back started speaking to me… he started to try really hard to talk to me when i wouldn’t talk to him! but then he didnt have a girlfriend back then!
      so now i have no idea what to do… since every time i try to even bring ‘us’ up, he says ‘lets just be glad it happened’!!!! lost here!

      August 11, 2013 at 3:24 am

      Well, that is a tricky situation for sure. I still think time is the way to go. Just give it some time. Work on yourself in this process. Make it about you and not him.

    4. Farheen

      August 11, 2013 at 8:13 am

      Do you think I still have a chance? I mean I’m ready to give it all the time in the world but do you think I even have a chance anymore?

    5. admin

      August 12, 2013 at 2:22 am

      Hmm… I would say you do. BUT dont let that go to your head. This isn’t an exact science. I honestly beleive that someone can do everything right and still not get their ex back. But if you are willing to put in the work your chances can improve drastically.

    Hi everyone. I need a little advice from outside sources. My ex had broke up with me in July 2013. We dated for a little over two years. He had NO explanation, no reason. Just didn’t want to date anymore and threw all of my belongings on our front porch. Since the break up we’ve hung out a couple times. He even said once that he was thinking of getting back together with me. It didn’t happen. i have not dated since the breakup but I have been on a couple casual dates but nothing has come out of them. Now, he as a girlfriend of about a month. Does this mean I don’t ever have a chance? Do you think she’s just a rebound?? I haven’t contacted him. I know its the best thing if I don’t…advice???

    1. admin

      August 8, 2013 at 2:14 am

      Have you read the rebound page on this site?

    2. jackie

      August 9, 2013 at 3:55 pm

      Yes, I did read it, but what I’m unsure of is that he has waited over a year to date someone and make it official. She is also a cousin of one of his best friends so that’s probably how it all happened. I’m unsure if I should wait completely let go, or if I should try and contact him in a couple months.

    3. admin

      August 10, 2013 at 3:09 am

      If you really want him back I say you should try everything before you give up completely.

    4. jackie

      August 10, 2013 at 4:23 pm

      Any suggestions on what I should do?? I do want him back, but what if I do to much and push him away??

    I was married for over 12 years and we were the ‘power couple’ in our community. The go to people. We had many problems, all the usually lack of intimacy, trust (he likes to lie by omission), financial etc. I tried and tried to get us to go to counseling but he wouldn’t go. I eventually realized that nothing was going to change and we would always be playing the blame game. For several months I contemplated a divorce even left the state for several weeks trying to decide, eventually I decided to go to counseling and eventually asked for a divorce. I am still in counseling working on myself. At first our divorce was amicable but then I realized that he had a new girlfriend when he brought her into town to help me move my final belongings out of the house we shared together. Needless to say I did not handle this well. While I was cordial with her in her presence I eventually sent him a couple of nasty emails and said some not so nice things. Then I changed my ph #, email and blocked him from every social network site except Skype (I just forgot). I moved completely across the country to be as far from him as possible and I did not speak to him for several weeks. Recently we have started to talk on Skype. I have apologized and admitted that I do care about him and wished him well. He told me he was going to be in Miami and asked to see me, he is coming to see his new girlfriend who lives in Miami. After thinking about seeing him, I told him I that it was just too soon and I was not ready. Should I have agreed to seen him? I did send him a text that told him to enjoy Miami and reminded him of a trip we took to Key West. I have moments of I am certain I want him back, then when I know he is lying to me I think it won’t work. I have thought about seeing him again, but he would probably bring his new girlfriend and I don’t know if I could handle that. Both him and his new girlfriend have made several trips to see each other, I am wondering if I should just step out of the way and let that process happen and move on to healing myself. I cannot shake the feelings of wanting him back.

      Hi July,

      Thanks so much for commenting. I can’t imagine how hard that situation must have been for you. To be the “power couple” and then next thing you know you are single.

      Ok, I think the smartest thing for you is to figure out what you really want. I sensed a lot of uneasiness and unsureness (not even a word lol) in your comment. What do you truly want? Do just want him back because he has a new girlfriend?

      After all, you were the one to ask for the divorce so the relationship couldn’t have been that great.

      I will help you to the best of my ability but you really need to figure out if this is what you want.

    2. July

      August 8, 2013 at 3:56 am

      You are right I do need to figure this out and decide. The biggest issue in making that decision is what will change? Or is he willing to work on our issues together? Even though we are separated not legally divorced – he tells everyone we are divorced, but refuses to sign any divorce papers. This confuses me even more. We are very public personalities and we are both very connected to many public figures (ie celebrities, politicians, media personalities) so I must tread carefully. Unfortunately because we are so well known this has changed him, he has a difficult time turning off the character and relaxing back to the person I married and fell in love with. He is constantly surrounded by “hanger ons” who are just there for the cast offs. It is very strange being in the spotlight like this, where I was able to maintain boundaries he seemed incapable or unwilling to protect our marriage from some of the most heinous of “hanger ons”. I know I love him very much and I believe he still loves me, we have always had a complete comfort and wonderful foundation of friendship. I believe he wants me back, but isn’t really interested or willing to do much to make our marriage a sanctuary. My fear is we will get back together and we will end up in the same place all over again.
      BTW he did respond to my text with “Key West was a trip I will never forget! We will see if Miami is any good.” I don’t know what to do next.

      Thank you!
      Can you tell me what this means? My husband asked to meet me and my first response was no then he asked again and I agreed. The conversation flowed nicely, although I could tell he wasn’t doing as well as I was even though he is in a new relationship. I would say the meeting was quite pleasant. The he asked if he could continue to skype me and see me the next time he was in town. I also agreed to both of those. I asked him if he would consider spending a day with me while he was in town. At first his answer was an enthusiastic YES, but when I asked when he then said not this time but next time he is in town. Since then there has been no response, could this be the girlfriend? I am confused by this hot/cold response.

      I think it could be two things.

      1. The girlfriend

      or

      2. Seeing you got him excited and he enjoyed himself and he felt in that moment he wanted to. However, after he got alone the mini date kind of lost it’s luster.

    I dated my ex for about two months and I ended up breaking up with him because I felt that he was no longer trying to woo me. He often claimed he didn’t have money to spend on our dates ( just enough to go to a movie or a dinner (very inexpensive) and I would pay for the half the date after our 4th date. I didn’t like that, but dealt with it. He didn’t show much affection other than when we had sex but always was more affectionate when we were alone. He would constantly tell me how he was glad I accompanyed him on camping trip and a wedding and when I went to his place. During the wedding we attended, I left him there bc he had been drinking entirely too much and I wasn’t going to get in the car with him while he was drunk. All night and leading up to the wedding we attended, he was a major grump and acted like a child. I reciprocated his behavior by showing him I was pissed (through not talking to him on the ride there. During the reception, he was off with his friends and I was alone. He introduced me to exactly one couple. I asked him to dance and he refused,, but then he dances with the bride. argh. He was plainly, acting like a jerk. So I left and broke up with him. We texted for a couple of weeks after and discussed talking about why we broke up but then he never followed through. We got back together one night intimately I stayed the night and for me it was a nice moment. He informed me, it was a hook up for him. I told him if that was all he wanted then we needed to severe ties now. He told me to relax (his famous last words). He told me I was too needy and he doesn’t like to argue, I said, I am not needy and discussing issues is not arguing. A few weeks later after not talking/texting, etc. I found out he was flirting and propositioning other girls while we were dating. I called him out on it and he blocked me from all social media except Facebook. We are not friends on there as I had deleted him, but I can see his page but he can’t see mine. Anyway, I recently propositioned him and we hooked up. All hook up rules went out the window, he stayed after and we talked, we kissed and he rubbed my arn and leg and looked at me, really looked at me. He recently lost a LOT of weight and I think it went to his head. His ego is through the roof. But without sounding self-righteous, I am the best looking he has dated. He knows it. While we dated, he asked if I loved him and I said no, but I really like you. I asked him the same quest and his response was maybe. He asked why I liked him and blatantly confirmed I would not have dated him when he was fat (this is true). Despite all this,I feel a level of comfort with him, I have not felt with other guys. A sense of safety. I miss him and am curious if I am wasting my time. We agreed to be hook up partners for now as neither of us are dating anyone. My plan is to make him regret letting me go. Help!

      i need some help my boyfriend I broke up about two months ago we dated for about 3 and a half months but we have like been a thing for about 2 and a half years in those 2 years he became my best friend I told him everything ,but sadly he has a new girlfriend now that he apparently “loves” him and I were on good terms until I got drunk and did something completely stupid and made a rude comment about his gf on social media . now he tells me that he HATES me and cant stand me and wants nothing to do with me anymore and he said he doesn’t even care about me anymore and that hurts and what makes it worse is that im the reason for the break up I started pushing him away after we had sex and he gave me over 6 chances that I can think of off the top of my head after we broke up to make it right but I was too damn stubborn to just talk to him. after we broke up my sister asked him well who do you love taylor or this new girl and he said he will always love me because he gets me and now we are nothing and I just don’t know how to fix it and I feel like ive burned every bridge with the fact that every time I get drunk I call him or text him and I just need help fixing it please I still love him and honestly its impossible to to get over so advice please

      Well, step one no more drunk dialing anyone hahaha.

      When was the last time you spoke to him? You might want to try the NC rule out.

      Why did you two break up?

    3. admin

      August 7, 2013 at 3:28 am

      Hahahha sorry, I just laughed about when you said you wouldn’t have dated him if he was fat.

      Ok well, generally speaking friends with benefits won’t end well. You are basically giving him the whole cake with no rules at all. I wouldn’t use it as a tactic to get an ex back honestly.

    4. Kanne

      August 7, 2013 at 4:21 pm

      In your opinion, is it possible he might still have feelings left ? A guy doesn’t ask his Gf if she loves him and basically says he loves her and then shuts his emotions off. What is your suggestion?

    5. Kanne

      August 13, 2013 at 3:34 am

      So how do you suggest I get him to see me as more than just a hook up and as Gf potential (and want me as his Gf again)? What should I be doing?

    6. kanne

      October 2, 2013 at 1:28 am

      update: My ex and I texted all day last Tues. I contacted him the other night via text and after a few exchanges, I asked him how dating was and he said there were no quality woman. I pointed out he had one. He came back with “you left LOL”. I said yes and regretfully so, wish we could have worked it out. He said “don’t stress we aint dead yet, dont stress”. I said dont lead me on and make it clear if you want to try again.. He said he said he would let me knows if it happens.After a few more exchanges, I said I was interested in trying again and he said he is just finding himself.

      My question- Is he kindly blowing me off and not interested at all?

      I saw on his FB status today that it seems that those who have it all have someone to share it with and that those who don’t don’t have anyone to share it with. Based off this FB post and others he does seemed confused and needs to find himself.

      Just want to make sure I am doing this correctly. I sent him a message via FB (we both…to my knowledge deleted one another’s ph #’s)and brought up a time we went to our fav place and how he had me in stitches laughing. He responded with ” LOl good times” (thin response) then he sent me ‘kissy’ face and said he can’t wait to see me again. ( I know this is to hook up, which I am done with- he has said before our last hookup he is “lucky to be with a girl like me” UG status??)… just want to be sure I am on the correct track?

      Might I add, I was the one to originally proposition him and have been the one to do so. But I want more from him so how do I get him to see me as Gf potential again and or want me back? I broke up with him btw.

    13. kanne

      September 9, 2013 at 11:58 pm

      Is there a possibility, that I could change that and get him to want me as his GF again? How?

      September 8, 2013 at 10:51 pm

      When we hook up it is mostly hooking up. Then we catch up on what is new and he either stats the night or goes home. I was thrown bc he said he owes me a hookup bc the last few times I have contacted him to, he has been away which I know to be true since I can see his FB activity. I am pretty sure after one more hookup I don’t want to just hookup anymore. I want more. How do I get him to see me as Gf potential again ?

    16. admin

      September 9, 2013 at 7:33 pm

      You are friends with benefits. So, don’t be friends with benefits b/c he is just using you.

    17. Kanne

      September 8, 2013 at 3:22 am

      I started a blog ( for me and bc I want to) and as a way to make contact other than a hookup with my ex I asked him if he would mind helping me expose my blog to more viewers by posting it on his FB page. He said yes but i know he never did bc I can track my blog sources. I have since messaged him for a hook up but it has been wrong timing. I messaged him Thursday for a hookup today and he said he would let me know since he has a spartan race. As I figured he was too tired to trek the hr to me. He apologized and said he owes me. I know planning a hook up and telling someone you owe them is not very hook up like. He said tomorrow is a possibility but will let me know in the a.m. I said ok.

      1) What do you think of this? 2)Am I wrong in thinking that he still has feeling for me but bc he doesn’t see what he did wrong and is hurt by what I did that he is blocking those feelings ? 3) since our only means of contact is via FB and we live an hour away from one another that there is no way we will run into one another I am not sure how to play cat and mouse with him. Any suggestions for all three quest?

    18. admin

      September 8, 2013 at 4:36 pm

      When you say hook up your not talking about sleeping with him are you?

      If you are saying hook up as a way to just hang out with your ex then I still am not a fan of it because I think sometimes a period of NC has to go by.

    19. admin

      August 14, 2013 at 1:35 am

      You have to reignite his feelings towards you. A great way to do this is to play the game of cat and mouse. Get him chasing and always leave him wanting more.

    20. admin

      August 8, 2013 at 2:19 am

      I think feelings are there honestly.

    21. Kanne

      August 12, 2013 at 3:26 am

      I forgot to add that when we do talk it is not strictly about hooking up. We add in tidbits of other info.

    22. admin

      August 13, 2013 at 2:08 am

      Hahaha but if hooking up is the main topic then that is something you need to improve on.

    23. Kanne

      August 12, 2013 at 2:19 am

      Does my last bit of info ( that he wants to keep it NSA) change your perception that he might still have feelings? How do I get him to see me as more than a hook up?

    24. admin

      August 13, 2013 at 2:00 am

      The no strings attached don’t change my perception. I think he has feelings for you still BUT that doesn’t mean they are super strong. It is your job to turn them strong.

    25. kanne

      August 11, 2013 at 3:17 am

      What do you think that his saying he is trying to keep things no strings attached? That he wants a relationship, but wants freedom; so he chooses to be single, means?

      Also, I had asked him the courtesy to let me know if he was hooking up with other girls as I would reciprocate. He said that is the NSA thing, we are free to do who ever we want. I don’t disagree but feel for safety reasons it is better to know. Then he let me know he was heading out with his friends and see if he meets any girls to hook up with. My guess is he was trying to make me jealous, but I responded by saying ok. What is your take on that? I reminded him of some good times, and he agreed they were. I told him I am not the type (which is very true) not to just hook up with guys. He responded with ” I know, lol”. We don’t live near one another at all so there is no way we will run into one another unless he came to my city or I his. We have no mutual friends. I think this complicates figuring out if he is still interested since we only communicate when we plan on hooking up. Thought/suggestions?

      Sorry for asking so many questions- but I do appreciate your help in decoding the male species.

    26. admin

      August 12, 2013 at 2:08 am

      If he wants to keep things no strings attached and you want something more then you two do have a problem.

      Generally speaking, being friends with benefits doesn’t end well. The problem is that if you have only spoken when you two plan on “hooking up” that isn’t a real relationship.

      Here is what I originally wrote. He told me tonight he doesn’t want a relationship that he is finally happy, and wants the freedom to do as he wishes. I told him I felt that when we dated and he said he does want a relationship but he chooses to be single since he cant have it both ways (freedom and relationship). We exchanged texts via FB and we talked about our likes and he said all this talking about likes is not very no strings attached like and he is trying to keep it that way. We exchanged face pics.We talked for a min and I asked how his mom was (last I knew she had cancer). He told me and thanked me for asking.

      Going with my last question that didn’t come through- how can you tell he still has feelings there left for me. Also, what do you suggest I do to get him to want to get back with me. Sounds pathetic, I know. Help me as I don’t know why, but my heart says I started falling for him before my head knew it. I need time away to know these things.

      I had asked if it was possible if he still had lingering feelings for me despite the fact we are hooking up. You said ” honestly I think feelings are there”.

      My last question was how do you know or figure that? Also, what do you suggest I do to see if he is interested in getting back together?

      I hope that helps.

      August 10, 2013 at 3:03 am

      Thanks!

      Guys can sometimes hold on to lingering feelings for all sorts of reasons. Obviously, if you two are still hooking up he still thinks about you romantically in some strange way.

      I wrote a post recently that I am pretty proud of. I think you might find some solace in it. Check it out here.

    August 6, 2013 at 6:58 pm

    Hello!I know you probably have better things to do than hearing my problems but I really need to know if you are able to help me or not.But I am afraid that in order to understand my situation I’ll need to start from the beginning:I’ve always lived in a difficult  family situation and in April I got taken to a foster family in a different town and also enrolled in the school there to finish secondary education. It was hard for me to make friends because I spoke very little and I hardly ever go up to people and talk to them. At some point this guy in one of my classes who seemed pretty popular texted me on facebook and was easy but weird to talk to and offered me to sit with him and his group of people.  He helped me making friends and we grew together pretty fast.  I learned that he understands how I feel since he has similar issues as I have. He made me feel so much better by listening and understanding how I feel and I always felt like I have known him for ages because of the way he reacted to situations and thought. One lesson he told me he had a crush on me since I entered school and we started going out. Everything was fine although he wanted to spent a lot more time with his friends alone than before but that was fine with me since I was able to make friends on my own thanks to the confidence he built in me. I did a lot for him (I waited for him in town to finish his drum lessons, came when he asked to see me pretty much regardless to what I was doing and so on) but although I had the feeling he didn’t care as much as I do (I always knew he had a fear of trusting and committing to people because of the chance of being hurt but I always thought that was fine since I know that feeling) he did a lot for me like willing to go to the ball with me (because I couldn’t dream about doing that in my old family) although he was saying for months he doesn’t want to go. After some time the relationship got harder… he became sick and had no motivation for anything then his mum found out that he was taking drugs and forced him to sign in for rehab and his family problems got really bad ( he never told me he was taking drugs, all he ever said was that he had a big drug issue but only smokes cigarettes anymore) he was his worst the night before the ball and I hoped I would really have a date to go with because he said stuff like “maybe it would be better to be friends” but then said he doesn’t wanna break up with me. The ball night went perfect we got home at 11 and then had drinks with my foster parents  because none of us felt like going to an afterball party. They were even so kind to leave the house to us at midnight so we could have time for us. He got a little depressed at some point but we talked about it and it was the first time it felt like he listened. However we spent the rest of the night together and he kept telling me how truly happy he was and that I’m his and he’s glad to have me. He went home at five because he had to go somewhere for the weekend. I didn’t really talk to him Saturday and heard nothing of him on Sunday  until he texted me he forgot his charger. I just heard the news that I was allowed to stay at the foster family until the end of the year and was excited to tell him that. I was in such a good mood I started kidding around asking him if he actually wants me to stay ( he kept on telling me that every second day) and he said because I’m a cool person to be around. I decided to talk with him about how he said he wanted to be friends and he said he doesn’t know. Seconds later I got the message that it would be better to be friends. I lost sanity I begged him to stay asked him why he broke up and what I was doing wrong but the best answer I got was “I don’t know” he answered my text messages but only to let his bad mood on me out. Two weeks after the breakup I was told to at least ignore him for a month so I asked him before why he broke up and he said annoyed “because I’m not ready for a relationship” I managed to mostly stay away the first two weeks and then I didn’t talk to him for the rest of the month (holidays made it easier) I still want him back because he mafe me live again and make friends (although I lost a big part with him) so I wanted to text him on Facebook after school today when I saw a girl’s post on his wall how happy she is to be together with him for a month now. That means he started dating her two or three days after he told me he can’t have a relationship. I really want to have him back! I know you’re probably thinking teenager nonsense but this is important to me. I’m a lot maturer than most other people (l cared for me and my siblings since I was twelve and I financially cared for them since I was 14) and he is too otherwise I wouldn’t have been interested in the first place.  I hope you understand me…He is the first guy I ever felt serious about so please help me if you can (I just couldn’t stand spending time, hope and emotions only to end up with more disappointment) and if you can’t help me do you know someone who can? NC really backfired!
    Thank you for your time if you read this all the way! Anja

      Hi Anja!

      I read your comment and I am a little confused.. how did NC backfire on you?

      I get that he moved on really quickly from the relationship but do you think that is just his way of dealing with it? By getting into a rebound relationship?

    2. Anja

      August 7, 2013 at 4:33 am

      Thanks for your reply!
      I didn’t talk with him for over a month now, he has no interest in me and seems happy with his girlfriend. .. Do I still have a chance?

    I have told you my story of how he became distant with our different culture and religion background and me giving him ultimatum to convert, but then later i decided he doesnt need to. But at that time he had already started to distant himself from me. At the sametime, one of his female friends messaged him who he knew from before at university. She showed interest and wanted to date him, but he said no and said he has a gf but they still kept talking though as friends. In the meantime, he wasnt being himself completely with me, it almost felt like i was forcing him to be with me in the relationship. I found text msgs between him and her one day and confronted him, he said he doesnt want her, he swore on his family that he didnt meet her or anything and only wants me. Then the next day he bought me flowers and was very affectionate and said that he told her to back off and she stopped contacting him. I believed him.

    Then next day he invited me to go out with him and his friends to a club to hangout and i said i couldn’t but he wanted to go and i made a big deal out of it and told him not to. He tried to reason with me but i wudnt listen, he still went but he kept txt msging me throughout the night so i wont doubt him. Then the next day he broke up with me saying i have trusting issues and couldn’t see him happy and have him ultimatums about converting and now he has been struggling to get his feelings back for me and he couldn’t anymore.

    And now less than a month and he is dating that girl who came after him. I dont know whether he left me for her or i pushed him away. Either way i dont know what to do. I really love him and want him back. I dont know if i should try to get him back or move on. Please advice me. I keep blaming myself for everything.

    Thank you

      Don’t blame yourself for this ok. It’s not worth the stress.

      For now, just take things one step at a time. The question is really DO YOU want him back?

      I do want him back, i miss him so much. We had alot of misunderstanding, towards the end of the relationship, no matter what i said he took it negatively, and he talked to his mom about me about every little thing i said. When we would talk in person, he seemed to understand me and agree on this but as soon as he goes home(he lives with his mom) he would txt msg me and disagreeing on everything we had talked about.

      i dont know if he will ever realize my intentions were good, and i never meant to hurt him in anyway. He always needed other people’s opinions and suggestions, he couldnt make them on his own, he always had to discuss me with his mom, family and friends.

      Men and women are sometimes not on the same wavelength. While you may assume you were talking to him a certain way he may have took it the wrong way.

      Okay so I get what you are saying. I am in a pickle now. I just promoted and left the workplace we were working together at. and now my managers are sending me back to the same work place he is at. How am I gonna deal with this. I am freaking out. Its probably gonna be a month before i see him. I am not over him at all, i feel alot better that i havent talked to him for almost 30 days, and i dont think about him as much unless if i am alone, but im afraid if i work in the same place and we will have to interact with eachother. How am i gonna deal with this knowing he has moved on and i havent . Why is God doing this to me. I was happy he wasnt in front of me, because it gave me a chance to forget him and move on.
      NOw i cant even do that. Please advice to mehow should i do this. I am not going to sacrifice my career for some dumb guy who didnt know the value of me.

      Well, I think you should be really pleasant if you have interactions with him.

      Make sure you are the one that controls the conversation and keep the talk strictly professional.

    i was with my boyfriend for a little over three years. the last year was a little rough for us. he cheated on me. no sex. just emotional really. maybe im
    stupid for believing that but i truly do. he told me everything and apologized. didn’t want to lose me so i made the choice to forgive him and continue our relationship. things were great for a couple months. we bought a dog together. but i started to become really resentful. started getting really jealous and couldn’t shake what he did. i found myself
    dreading to come home to him and becoming depressed. i felt like he wasn’t trying hard enough. we continued for about another five months. i then started another job where i me someone that caught my attention. it was nice getting attention from someone else. we really clicked and that scared me. we hung out a few times did some harmless flirting. i didn’t want to hurt my boyfriend by doing what he did to me and i knew that we couldn’t move forward if i couldn’t forgive him. i asked him to move out of my house and asked if we could take a few steps back. i just needed a little time to clear my head. i wasn’t ready to lose him but i needed some time which i felt was reasonable. he told me me if i didn’t want to live with him we couldn’t be together. i didn’t want that but i felt like i had no choice because i was making us both miserable. so we packed up his things and he left. i continued seeing the guy i worked with for the next couple months. i liked him but mostly i wanted to get my mind of of my ex. my ex and i didn’t talk at all until about the third month after breaking up. we met up for drinks and decided to start seeing each other again. i wasn’t seeing anyone but i still didn’t want to live together which continued to put a strain on us. i was still in love with him but not 100% ready to put my all into us. i also started getting really busy with work. i blew him off. didn’t put my all into trying again and just continued to push him away. that went on for about a month. the fifth month i finally decided i was ready. i wanted to be with him completely, move back in together and make things work. when we got a chance to talk he tells me he’s dating someone. been dating for a little over a month. he likes her and wants to see where things go. he said he gave up on trying with me. i know i hurt him. i waited to long. we had lunch a few times after he told me. he’s continued to tell me he loves me and that if things don’t work out with her we could try again. i asked him to be with me. he says he can’t do that to her. he’s happy, falling in love and why would he leave something that’s great for something that’s broken. maybe if things don’t work out we can try again. ive already went a little crazy with the texting and trying to see him. it’s been almost two weeks and ive contacted him everyday. i love him. we made plans for our future. he told me he wanted to marry me and spend his life with me. i know i hurt him but i don’t understand how that can change so fast and how he can choose someone he just met over someone he planned a life with. have i already screwed this up enough? do i have any chance of getting him back? very sorry this is so long.

      Don’t apologize for it being long at all.

      If he cheated on you are you sure you want him back? You have to be sure about this.

      I would say start off by trying out a no contact period and focus on yourself and not him or his new girlfriend during that time.

      im positive. that’s why i took so long to decide i could be with him again. i took the five months we were apart to seriously look at my life, myself and what i wanted. i know that we can build a better healthier relationship. i will begin the no contact period and do my best not to think about him or this girl. but do you think i have a chance if he’s already saying he could love this girl?

      Hahaha people fall in and out of love so frequently I kind of don’t take those statements that seriously anymore. So, I think you do have a chance. BUT that doesn’t mean you will succeed. Nothing is guaranteed but if you do the things throughout this website then you will find that your chance will drastically improve.

      he told me he thinks about me and loves me and could see a future with us if things don’t work out with her. but he cares for her and he is happy with her right now and he doesn’t want to mess it up. it’s new and exciting i get it. but can he really forget about almost four years with me?

      Lola, did you know that men in relationships for that long can get kind of tired in them? It’s possible he is just enjoying his newfound freedom. Let him enjoy it for now, it will get stale eventually!

    I was with this guy for 9 months than we broke up after I found out he was obsessed with somebody else. After a week of being broken up he started dating this girl. I knew it was coming but I was upset then I find out they were engaged a month later. After I found out I moved far away and started a new life, deleted him from Facebook and his cell number. I had no contact with him for 6 months. About two months ago I find out they’re now pregnant. Till this day they are still together but for some reason I get a text from him asking how I was and I didn’t know it was him until I asked a friend about this number. She told me it was him. What do I do and why would he talk to me after 6 months?

      Do you think he wants to be friends? That’s all I want from him. He also said he was depressed.

      He is probably reminiscing. I wouldn’t try to get him back if I was you. From the bottom of my heart I think getting involved with him and the new girl (who he has gotten pregnant and is engaged to) won’t end well for you.

      Thats just my two cents.
