Hey,

My ex broke up with me one month ago because he had to go away for the summer. He told me that it was unfair to me and that we should just break up because he didn't think that he could be in a relationship when he was so far away. My first question does anyone actually believe that? I am still trying to figure out if that was a lie or not.

my second question is... I am trying to move on and there is this guy who has been one of my really close friends and I am trying to figure out how to tell him iIlike him without ruining our relationship. any ideas?

I agree with Soul. It was well put.

Just know that he called it off and has moved on. Trust in him and move on as well.

Harbour no hard feelings.

Time to build the friendship is always the best course. You don't want to rush it especially after a recent break up.

Best of wishes.

xxxsoulsistaxxx agony auntWell, people can say that for 2 reasons: the first is that they want to be single when they go somewhere else to see if they can find a better offer. Secondly, they may say it because they genuinely care about you and don't want you sitting here waiting for them all that time. Only you know this guy so only you can decide which is was.

I suggest you forget about the 'whys' and 'what-ifs' and just move on. He's broken up with you and that's pretty much all you need to know, isn't it? Go and find someone who's gonna stick around and make you happy.

This new guy: play it cool. Don't go running in saying how much you like him, that will probably scare him off. Spend more time with him and he will soon realise you like him and you'll be able to tell whether or not he likes you too. If he's a close friend, don't put this at risk and be sure it's what you want first. Friendship is worth more than anything. Good luck
