well i think ladies are being slghtly harsh here the guy says he wants to be friend maybe he do
i was in similar situation dated a girl for few weeks she wanted more than i could give her i liked her was happy to go out on dates but didnd feel that special buzz you get when you fall head over heels for someone in the end felt it only fair to break it off before she got to hurt
was awkward few weeks but we got talking again and she asks me now for advice on guys etc
maybe the guy wanted to be with someone and dated for a while hoping it work or maybe he left it so long before breaking up cause he was afraid of hurting feelings

dont fall into that trap
thats what it is
and it should be treated a such
dont call

But I don't call her on the phone. She moved to alaska. Personally that's not far enough. Mars or neptune would be good.

Here's a blanket statement for you. Allthough IMO I think it's more true than not.

Guy say's I just want to be friends= I want to keep sleeping with you and other women.

Gal say's I just want to be friends= I like you but I don't want to sleep with you anymore.

Last woman I dated says she wants to be friends, in fact she suggested I give her a call if my current relationship doesn't work out.


Hmmmmmmmmm, I don't think so.

yep, what she said...

You know the guy and you should know if he is truthful in wanting friendship.

You were with him only 2 months so maybe he likes you but realized that your more a friend than a lover.

Makes me laugh people here say "hey he said he wants to be your friend and doesn't call you so forget him" but then tell you to do the same (you say you want his friendship) by not calling him. Double standard.

Follow your gut feeling, if you want his friendship and only his friendship then call him and see where it leads what do you have to lose.

It's time to move on.

Compromise. Text him, but as a friend. "Hey what's up? Haven't heard from you in a while. Hope you're doing well."

If he ignores you then let it go. If he texts something back that opens a conversation, then great. And he might even call you.

But the real questions is whether you SHOULD be friends with him. It can be hard for you to really move on if you're still emotionally attached and still seeing him.

Cha-ching!!!

Totally agree.

Have his baby

Take it from what everyone is saying...... All he wants is a back up girl when he is lonely....Now if that is what you want to be then go for it.....

Never ever call an ex, that just leads to trouble. And if he calls you, tell him to go away.

Do not call him. He said that rid himself of guilt.

Yup.
Unfortunately... I feel the same here...
I've said it myself a time or two...

that about sums it up

People can agree to be friends, but true friendship has to be earned.

Don't call.

Naw, I'm friends with all. If he's worth havin' as a friend, have 'im; if he ain't, don't. Your call. Make you own decision and it won't be wrong; might be ineffective, but as long as it's yours it won't be wrong. JMO

The familiarity of being with an ex is soothing, but something about the relationship kept it from progressing. You sound like you want a relationship that goes somewhere. The only reason a guy just wants to be friends with a girl is so he doesn't have to commit. Just wait for him to call (if ever) and be a friend. You need to move on.

If you have a T.R.O., no it's not okay.
