We avoided talking about our break up in our chat, so how can I approach him about it? I want to talk about what happened and if we can be friends!

A female United Kingdom age 36-40, anonymous writes:

I asked a question on here on the 3rd june asking about emailing an ex, and not wanting him to get the worng impression.

Well tonight, 4th june, i was typing along to a friend on MSN when he sent me a instant message. We had a good chat but it wasnt about what had happened between us, just skirted around asking how we both was. I admit it was a nice chat.

Now i am wondering whether we can move on from chatting about evey day chat to talking about what happened and if we could be friends.

How can i approach him with this?

Country Woman agony auntI think start the conversation lightly and jovial and then gradually ease into it.

Say you are worried about something about yourself like - do you put a man off or something, I don't know the reasons for your split so I can't fully tell you what I think but something along those lines. Sort of ask for his advice as he knows you so well and you don't want to go through the same thing happening again so what should you avoid doing.

I am not saying the break up was your fault or anything I'm just suggesting that you broach it from that perspective or ask for a male opinion and as you consider him a good friend you thought he wouldn't mind you asking.

You would like to stay as friends and perhaps when you get a chance perhaps you can meet up for a coffee sometime - no pressure though.

At least then you might get some answers.

It is a bit like telling a child not to do something but not explaining what the problem is?

That is all you are asking for some answers after all.

Just don't go in aggressive as he will back off big time.

good luck.
