My Ex Wants To Be Friends But I Still Love Him (Can You Be Friends With Your Ex If You Still Love Them)

Did your ex say to you "I think it is best if we stopped seeing each other but we can still be friends"? You are sure you want your ex back but at the same time, you are wondering "Should I still be friends with my ex?"

Let's recap. Your ex boyfriend dumped you. In essence, your ex told you that you were not good enough to be a significant other but suddenly you are good enough to be a "friend"? If you are like me, you'll see there is something seriously wrong with this way of thinking. That is why your gut instinct is to ask "should I be friends with my ex?"

From my experience, if you really want your ex back, you cannot be a friend or best friend. Here's why.

One, it will be a one-sided friendship because you will be more invested in the relationship since your real motive is getting your ex back. That means you'll end up doing all you can to please your ex to convince him to like you as more than a friend. In time, that leads to your ex taking advantage of you and your kindness and taking you for granted.

Two, you are not giving your ex a chance to miss you by creating an emotional void. This is key to building the attraction necessary for them to be drawn to you and want to be with you.

Three, you will feel like crawling into a hole when your ex starts to date someone else and come and tell you all the details. After all you are a friend. That's your role now: to listen to your ex, your new best friend, talk about his new love life.

Short answer, no you should not, under any circumstances, be friends with your ex.

Get Your Ex Boyfriend Back in 5 Simple Steps

Broke up and want him back? A break up is hard to reverse if you do not know what to do. There are a few simple steps you can take to get your ex boyfriend back and keep him.

If you have tried to get your ex boyfriend back and failed, it is not your fault. You probably did your best to do what you thought would make it work. It seemed like a good plan, but was it?

When you start dating or first get married, you do not get an instruction book to explain all the pitfalls you might encounter. Even worse, there is no book to cover how to react to the stresses of a relationship. What do you do when things go wrong? Do you ask a friend, family member or just guess what you should do?

When a break up does happen, what do you do to heal the relationship and get back together? I am sure you have had some or all of these questions and do not know where to turn. If you really want to get your ex boyfriend back, here are 5 simple steps to get him back and keep him.

Step 1 - First before you can get the relationship back on track, you have to get yourself on track. Your mental attitude will make the difference in him wanting or not wanting to get back together. You have to get the negatives out and the positives in. Be strong and quit feeling sorry for yourself. Having a black cloud hanging over your head all the time will not be attractive to your ex boyfriend.

Being emotional, depressed and a drama queen will not serve you well. Learn to clear your mind of what could have been or what might happen. Start to think of positive thoughts that make you happy. Make the positive energy flow through your whole body. Others, along with your ex, will start to notice the new you and want to be around you more.

Step 2 - Forget the past. Do not focus on the way it used to be. That is over. You must focus on what you can make out of your new relationship with your ex boyfriend.

Wishing will not get you back to the point where your relationship was before. It will take action and building a new relationship.

Focus and do not let your mind drift back to the old relationship. If you admit it, the past relationship had its flaws and was headed in the wrong direction anyway. Start your relationship anew. Focus on doing it right and heading in a direction that you and your ex boyfriend both agree on. Rome was not built in a day and your relationship will not be fixed or built in a day either.

Step 3 - Do not be a pest. Men do not like it when a girl calls him too often especially for no real reason. This is really true for ex boyfriends. You have to give him some space and only call him when necessary.

This will be hard, but you must do it. Stay strong and do not overdo it by texting, calling or emailing him. Make sure you do not drop by his place unannounced or follow him around to see what he is doing.

Not seeing or hearing from you as much may make him want to see you more. When he does hear from you, he will be more apt to want to talk longer and listen more intently.

Step 4 - Get noticed. Fix up and look good. Try some new makeup, a new hairstyle, a few new clothes and/or drop a few pounds and he WILL notice. Make sure you eat right so your figure and skin will look radiant.

When you take time to take care of yourself, you will not only look better but will also feel better about yourself. This confidence will show him you are doing good and looking good even without him.

Attraction can work in your favor as he and his friends begin to notice how good you look. A man never wants another man to have a woman that he had and especially when that woman is looking good.

Step 5 - Once you take step four, he may get in touch with you. He may want to go out and could realize that he has made a drastic mistake and that he wants you back. Keep in contact, but limit it. Too much contact and you can reverse what you have accomplished so far. You want him to chase you and not vice versa.

Once he sees a good looking, happy confident woman that he has been attracted to before, he will not be able to help himself. When he does not hear from you as much, he will begin to wonder what is happening and if there is someone else. A little jealousy could help the situation.

Take your time and do not just jump back into the relationship. Do not jump from the frying pan into the fire. These steps are the starting points that can help you get your relationship on track. There are more steps to complete your plan to get your ex boyfriend back and keep him.
