Dear Cupid,

Hi today I was asked out by my ex from the begining of freshman year, but my friend) that i kinda liked. I said yes because i kinda liked him, my friends said I'd look cute with him, and feel bad if i didn't say yes(mostly because it's valentines day!) He was so happy. He told me that it is the best valentines day ever! And then hugged me tightly that he would never let go. I do like him, but my mind doesn't and only likes him as a friend! What should I do!

Hi there. I'm a bit confused here.

Is this your ex who has asked you out, or is it someone else you are talking about?

And if it is your ex, do you mean that you used to like him and still like him, but only as a friend now?

If it is your ex, well then go out with him and just see how it goes and be watchful as to what direction it's going to take.

It sounds like he's pretty keen.

If you don't go out with him now, you won't know it it's got any potential to be a boyfriend and girlfriend relationship.

How long is the gap between then and now? Is it 2 or more years ago?

If there has been a substantial gap of time, you would both have matured a lot more and are possibly two very different people now - compared to back then.

You may be different enough now, that whatever was the reason for the breakup before, no longer exists. You may find you have much more in common now with the space of time.

It definitely seems worth pursuing. You just never know the possibilities.

And if you don't go out with him, well then you will never know.

At the very least anyway, you will know after the first or second date, as to whether you want to pursue it any further.

Give it a go. What have you got to lose?

I think if you only like him as a friend, then you should be honest to him and say " Look I think your a nice cute guy and all, but I don't really think that I'm interested in being your boyfriend." It's better to be straight forward instead of beating around the bush. Sometimes it's okay to reconnect with an ex, but if your heart says no, then your better off just being close friends.
