Resolved Question

How do I face him again?

If you didn't read my last question (which most of you probably didn't), how do I face my ex again? We were good friends since we were 11 years old and dated once. I foolishly ended it after a rumor, yet he still recently would tell me he thought I was such a beautiful girl. He's engaged & I kept thinking about him and wanted him to know. I told him. He said he wished things would have turned out better for us and that he would always be there for me. Next thing you know-2 weeks later I see him at a dance. He walks up to me to talk..and as soon as his fiance came up behind him, he turned around. I got on facebook the other night and we werent friends anymore. When I asked why, the message I got back was "move on". I told him I did move on, but I thought we'd always be friends--nothing back. How do I have the courage to look him in the eyes again when I see him from time to time at youthgroup events?

his fiance apparently put a leash on him...and doesn't trust you, so he's being forced to cut you out of his life. if he wants to ignore you and the friendship you once had, then there's not much you can do. just be casual about it, maybe wave or say hi if he happens to steal a glance your way, but nothing else. just go on what you were doing with your other friends. he'll probably eventually realize what an @ss he's being when he's unhappy with the loss of his friends and sees you having a blast. but it won't matter b/c you'll have moved on to something/one better by then :) too little too late!

His fiance probably sent you the message on Facebook....and I wouldn't be interested anyway...he's engaged...you have feelings for him....it's just a complicated web, you are weaving....He apparently isn't sure what/who he wants, and doesn't have the, let's say, guts to figure it out.

Just accept that he has moved on and smile be courteous (or ignore him) be civil but accept that he has moved on. My daughter has a similar situation with her ex. She's moved on but would like to preserve the friendship. Horrible abusive marriage but still hangs on to the friendship. He tends to play games with her though. Sends her texts messages then reuses to talk. She loves her husband but it tears her apart to see her ex.

Why would you want to? Sounds like his fiance has him whipped into shape and he doesn't seem like he'd be much fun to know anymore. So just smile, say hi, and move on.

Yes you should have the courage to face him again because youdid nothing wrong and if ou have moved on it wouldn't make a difference to you.

Sometimes the only thing you can do is to be cordial and let time heal things between you. And why should you need courage to look him in the eyes? What's done is done. You dated once and foolishly ended it.

Since you told him how you feel, the next step would be his. But since he's engaged, that may not happen for quite some time.

So you can either move on and try to keep his memories in their proper perspective, or sit around and wait to see if his engagement lasts and he contacts you. In the meantime, you could be missing out on your Prince Charming while you're waiting.

My ex g/f ended our relationship on what I thought were BS reasons. She just got married within the last 2 months ago maybe. I've thought about her every day since (over 14 months) and what we lost. And she won't accept my friend requests on Face Book. There's nothing I can do about it though except hope she's happy and maybe one day she opens her eyes to who really loved her.

Till then, you just gotta put one foot in front of the other. If you see this guy, be polite and say hi, and maybe a little casual chit chat, then walk away.

It does sound like he's wipped and that his fiance may have access to his Facebook account. She does or she had him delete you and send the message. If/when you do see him out just be friendly but don't suggest anything. Just keep it pleasant and don't attempt any physical contact (hugs, ect..) with him. You didn't do anything wrong so just give it time and let things fall where they fall.

tbh, i think what you need to do
is listen to some really godo upbeat, happy songs remember you came into this world without him and you can sure as hell get through it without him
it's gonaa suck like a ***** the first time you see him but really all you need to do is show yourself that you're happy. just smile and be who you were before he decided to try and ruin you. :) good luckk
xx
