Need Advice

[Forumfavorite]

I just recently broke up with my girlfriend. We had been going out for 3 weeks. Before we started dating we were best friends and during the relationship I was thinking about it and I decided to break up with her because I didn't want to damage our friendship anymore, but after we broke up, it just felt so awkward and we're still friends, but not as close.

My question is do you think it was the right thing to do? do you think we'll ever be as close as we were again?

Well depends what you did with each other because if you had sexual relationship it's kind of hard to look at the person the same way again I know I've been there. I think talking to each other will help but personally I don't think you will be as close as you were before.

Talk to her? I know it sounds like a stupid answer, but you'll get a whole lot more out of trying to talk to her, than asking us for advice. Maybe she doesn't fully understand why you ended it. Explaining your actions and feelings might help and simply try and tell her that you were looking out for your friendship and don't want her to drift away.

This is why sometimes going out with best friends doesn't work. You usually find out that you were better off just as friends really. If you felt that it wasn't working of course it was the best thing to do, don't carry on with the relationship if you don't think it's going to work.

Like Toko says, did anything happen during the relationship? That could affect how things are after.

I doubt you will be as close as you were before for while, til you have had a few chats and got back to the way things were before, it will take you both time to adjust to it.

Well we kissed and that was it. I know this sounds really wrong, but I think I like one of her friends that is one of my best friends too, but I don't want to ruin our friendship and the girl i like feels the same, but 1.she is friends with my ex I just wrote about and 2.she is one of my friends.

Well dating best friends normally doesn't work out and if you went out with her friend you could end there freindship and that would be harsh on them. If you really do like this girl and she likes you maybe you three should talk about it.

That's my problem I don't wan tthem to argue over me and end there friendship, but my ex is moving to another school next year. Should I wait until then?

If you don't mind waiting that long maybe you should but if there friends wouldn't she find out you two were together?
