A female United States age 30-35, anonymous writes:

I dated this guy for two days then he broke my heart and said that we rushed into this to fast. He said that he knew nothing about me which is untrue. I don’t know why I cried because I never liked him like the way I like my best friend. But he said that we could still remain friends. Even though he said that we could be friends today at the field trip he was awkward and it seemed like he didn’t want to see me. I don’t think he wants to be friends with me at all. When an ex says that he wants to be friends is that true? Or will you feel awkward all the time? Before he broke up with me he asked me if I loved him. I told him I didn’t know how to answer that because it had been two days together.

OK well 2 days sweetie im sure everything will be fine and it usualy depends on how long you have been together with a guy and how "bad" the break up was on how long it will take to be friends again, and aslong as you didnt flip out and go mental on the guy then its all good. The chances are when a guy breaks up with you and says he still wants to be friends then he does, it may take time, but try not let it be too awkward however dont be too "yourself" or he will feel like your trying to impress him. Just try get comfertable with him again and staying friends will not be a problem. there are aot of factors that influence this. but those are the main 2 i noted. :)

I hoped this heled good luck

YourDestiny11 agony auntSome guys do just want to be friends if a relationship doesnt work out but its also just a nice way to break up with u. It would be hard to be friends with an ex and it could take work but sometimes it can be easy and it should be for u two where u had only been dating two days.

Oh my gosh, you are in a tough spot. Two days does not make hm an ex, it makes him a confused teenager and he doesn't really want to have a girlfriend.

Under the circumstances I think you two could be friends. Just act relaxed and happy and friendly towards him, no hard feelings. How could he have broken your heart in such a short time? You really don't know each other well, you know Of each other....so be a friend and get to know him better, I am sure he meant it, but may not know how to act towards you.
