Still in love with X

and it sucks, cos all i do is end up arguing with him.

he said wants to b my friend but wenever we're both online to chat he's 'busy' and wen ever i invite him out he's got other things 2 do.

i know he stil likes me as he's told me but we just 'dont work well as a couple'. which if were arguing yeah is true, and its true cos he never had time for me and still doesn't its like i mean nothing to him but wen i say this is how i feel its a case of 'sorry u feel that way'.

its sooooo frustrating cos i never have his attention and he never asks me questions or talks to me or asks me out but with everyone else he's great. y is it me that he treats as tho it doesn't matter if i exist or not. that if i wasn't aroud he wouldn't care!!!

i know im not being picky or high matenance cos its not like i want it all the time, just once would be nice, just once if he would tx me or call out of the blue or invite me 2 the cinema but no i have to make all the running all the time!
Well, stop doing the running then. Okay, he says he likes you...but it sure doesn't seem like it! If he ignores you, doesn't want to go anywhere with you and treats you like crap..why bother?

I know it's not easy, but try getting over him instead of trying to get him back.

Stop runnin after him...........Chill out a bit.........play it cool.........if he wants to be friends he will approach u........if he doesn't then he dont wanna b friends.
Sometimes ya just gotta sit back an observe for a while......get ya head round the situation. Re-enter the situation in a different frame of mind.
Its so difficult maintaining a friendship with an ex....dont expect it to b easy x

theres just so much back story to it all, like me being depressed and him being the only one i can talk 2. If i stepped back i would have no one. and im so scared that he would do the running for me cos i dont see what i have that would make him want to b my friend.
If he wants to be friends and really cares about you, he will do the running eventually. But right now, it seems like he's taking his time and wants some space...so leave him alone for a bit. And in the meantime, try getting over him.

Get over it. Find someone else.

Bear in mind that if you were married, you'd become Mrs. X. Avoid him, and spare yourself a life of ridicule.

i'm still trying to be friends with my ex, so i know exactly what you're going through. just don't push it, maybe he needs time to realise how much he wants you as a friend. luckily enough for me i've got enough going on at the moment (started uni etc) to make it slightly easier to stop myself from texting him everyday.
be patient with him. he might be hurting too. hope it all works out for you hun x

I’m sorry but u cant expect much if any attention from ure ex. A lot of people find it hard to be friends with an ex, so maybe he is tryin to move on without u in his life. Don’t expect texts and him asking u to cinema etc, likely hood is it wont happen by what ure saying bout him.
So as hard as it may seem, move on, go out with friends. DON’T TEXT HIM
