Did you tell him that's why you broke up with him? If not then how does he know? I agree with the previous poster, maybe he just got comfortable. If it was bothering you did you try discussing it and...

Well to be honest I don't know what caused problems before other than the fact we never really had that much time for each other... Trying to get things off the ground whilst both doing stressful...

Thank you.
I agree with you completely. Everyone does have a different situation.
In this case I have decided to try. I know there's a risk, but I still don't think anyone ever achieved anything in...

Thanks for the replies.
I am definitely not putting all my eggs in one basket. Whilst I'm prepared to do a bit of leg work I'm still skeptical. I'm still going to date as I think that until she...

Sounds like he is trying to act like he's cool with it and it isn't affecting him when it is. Denial of his feelings I guess. Not really your problem though as a relationship won't work all the time...

How old are you? I'm assuming you're both quite young....

If you aren't happy and need a label then you need a label and you should ask for one. If he still says no then it's time to move on.
If...

Too fast too soon. Back off.
She didn't reply and within a couple of hours you call her up and then sent another text....ever think she could have been sleeping if she was sick? Then you called her...

So Monday I just thought screw it I'm going to call her...no answer. Then about an hour later she texts me back asking if everything is ok and apologising for missing my call. So I asked if she was...

I agree with the previous poster. Ditch this guy and get yourself some self worth. You deserve much better. Just totally cut him out of your life, he's clearly not making you happy so what's the...

I guess my question really is: where is the line between being assertive and taking control and being annoying and coming across as a stalker. I care about this girl and I don't want to get in the...

Good on you for seeking help. This needs to be your number one priority at the moment. Get yourself to a better place and then worry about relationships after.
Good luck

Haha whilst I appreciate the optimism in the previous posts I don't think life works like that.

So after the initial positivity of her replying it looks like nothing has really changed. I text her...

Yeah of course they can (and the guy above is right it isn't a gender based thing).
My two longest relationships (5 years and 2 years) started out as friends. Hard to pinpoint exactly what it is...

Thanks for advice!
So I text her last night and she replied (in the middle of the night while I was asleep so I haven't replied yet)! Wasn't really expecting her to reply if I'm honest but she...

Thanks for advice both. It is different to what I've been told before but alternative (neutral) viewpoints are always good...most of my friends say the fact she ended it and hasn't made an effort to...

Thanks... that was how it seemed to me....although I do tend to hold onto false hope.

Also the fact she has made no attempts to contact me since makes me think it was more than that.
No she...

Hi so just after a bit of female advice on my situation

The breakup: we were only together 7 months. Things were difficult as I was coming to the end of my master's degree and struggling to find a...

Well you're in a catch 22 then really. By acting the way you are, you're going to put him off even if he does currently have interest. You are trying to gauge how serious he is through how you're...

You reached acceptance earlier because you ended it. You had already dealt with some of the stages before making the final decision. You "giving it your all" (i.e. fighting for it) in those 6 months...

How long have you been dating? I'm guessing from your post that it's pretty early days! Does he share problems with you and what is your reaction to them?

So you're going to ignore him until he...

Any thoughts on how and when to get back in touch?
Is a casual text better or should I give her a call?

As with most things, different people react differently. I'm not saying this guy does or doesn't want anything (although I do tend to give people the benefit of the doubt)....as with my main point...

I'm going to partly disagree with everyone else here...
Maybe he is just busy? Maybe he is being honest with you and his big move alongside work are taking up all of his time?
You've only been...

Hatred and anger are still strong emotions. You can't hate someone you don't care about. You'll know you're over him when you become indifferent.

That'll come in time. How long has it been since...

Thanks again for the reply.
I agree. I care about her and do want to be there for her even if it is "just" as a friend. She did ignore me before when I tried to be friendly but then I think I maybe...
