Hanging Out Regularly in a Group If you two are core members of the same friend group, it's pretty wonderful when you can get back to hanging out together sans awkwardness and romantic drama.
Your friends will probably appreciate this move, too. Being Best Friends If you can't bear the thought of life changing drastically after a breakup, you might continue hanging out one-on-one all the time and relying on each other for everything from belly-bursting laughs to emotional comfort.
That may just delay the getting-over-it process. And keeping this type of closeness up when you're in a new relationship isn't the healthiest move, either. But she cautions that emotional support can send a confusing message, giving false hope or preventing them from moving on.

Um this whole year has been filled with weird signals. Though there have been moments where he has tried to invite me over to his family house, but tells me to pretend like everything is cool with him as if we are still together ….
Hi Sophie! So what is the status now with him? My ex and I have been in a relationship for 8years. We broke up a week ago. He told me about his new girlfriend a few days ago after our breakup. I initiated the first outing yesterday just for coffee. He was actually okay with it but after coffee he initiated to have some drinks at a pub. We went there and had 2 glass of beer. We played games and sang songs.
But he wanted to end the day early so we left early and he insisted to send me to the nearest bus stand. He held my hand a few times when crossing the road. He did mention there was a movie he watched alone a few days ago and it was really good. He asked if I was interested he would not mind watching it again with me. I am confused by his actions. I know I still love him and would do anything to get him back. I broke up with my ex boyfriend about 6 months ago. He was the one that dumped me. We stayed together for 6 months, and became friends with benefits a few weeks following the break up until we decided to stop but agreed to remain friends.
The break up was amicable. I have implemented NC… but after a month he contacted me asking to meet up. Recently, I was the one initiating conversations until he recently contacted me a few days ago… What does it mean?
Why does he want to hang out if he had a new girlfriend? Does he see me as just a friend? After a week of back and forth phone calls and crying both of us nd pleading me I went I to no contact for 30days. We have been texting back and forth we met up twice and both times I ended it early saying I had plans but not specific it was easy and fun, we had a laugh second time he reached out to hug me twice and said before I left that he missed me. Yet he asked me to go to the cinema with him?
What am I doing wrong in not building attraction? How can I get him to commit more time and effort to me? And should I agree to this next meet up at all? Please help! Proud of you for all those things you did during NC…keep it up! Just think little steps. Use a little jealousy at times. Grab up one of my books that might help you! So the situation is: my boyfriend and I were together for 7 months.
I broke it off with him, even though I loved him because he was very non-communicative and blew me off one to many times. I have never contacted him since. We broke up about 2 months ago. For the first month I would respond when he texted me, but then he called me and wanted to have drinks or coffee and I told him I was happy he was doing well with the breakup and appreciated his trying to be friends, but that I needed time and space away from him.
Just today he asked to have coffee, and we did and it was perfectly pleasant and nice. He did a small amount of reminiscing and I think a couple of times wanted to ask if I was dating but stopped himself. I have been working hard on myself since the breakup working out and going out a lot and he mentioned both of those things.
So what do you think? Totally platonic or is he still interested? Clearly he is interested and perhaps has some lessons learned from the mistakes he made in the past. Go it slow. Makes the next encounter another casual one. Avoid relationship talk. Just try to enjoy so your own feelings can settle in. My situation is a little different. My ex and I were together for 1. We were very much in love. I took the first three months of the breakup to really work on myself — and felt like a better person who learned a lot and could be the partner and mother figure he was looking for.
We started hanging out as a family again on January 1 and it lasted six beautiful weeks. Everything was clicking, connecting. His son even mentioned how nice it all felt. And I felt and looked good. It was wonderful. He then asked if we could be friends and still hangout because he loved my daughter and I. I got really upset and said no. Did I mess everything up? Please help. Making Your Ex Boyfriend Jealous. If your new partner is your priority, keep it that way. Focus on that relationship and that relationship only.
Don't invite in the possibility of drama in by keeping in touch with your ex; it's not worth it. Friendship can happen later or never. After that, you can resume your friendship with one other caveat: your breakup must have been mutual. If not, no renewed friendship. Remember, this is good for you and important for your new relationship!
A second vote for waiting it out — you need not be best friends with your ex right away in order to be a confirmed adult. Yes, you had a real connection but maybe it simply wasn't meant to be forever.
