He says he only wants to be friends, but I want to make our relationship work...

Question - (25 February 2009) 2 Answers - (Newest, 25 February 2009)
A female United States age 36-40, anonymous writes:

My boyfriend and I just broke up after 4 yrs dating and 1 1/2 yrs living together. I had to move in with my parents. We had been having money problems and so our sex life suffered. He says that he doesn't want a relationship but he's ok with being friends. We hung out today and everything was almost like it always was. He bought me dinner at the mall shared his soda...etc. The only difference was we didn't hug or kiss or anything. I think if things kept going like this we could make it work, but he keeps getting messages from old female friends who want to hook up now that he's single. How do I get them to back off? How can I make our relationship work?

kellyxxx agony auntYou have to talk to him and tell him what you want. Ask him how he feels as he could feel the same. Sounds like you could make it work again. Keep me updated! X

l think its best if you don't become friends, stop hanging out and talking because that way he can miss you and want a real relationship with you which involves kissing and staff

if you continue being his friend, he may never know what he is missing and may end up hooking with these female friends and you will always be just a friend.

if he walks away and doesn't return, start moving on.
