KansasChica Posted January 8, 2015 Posted January 8, 2015 I just ended a two-ish year relationship with my ex- due to the fact that he wasn't ready to take the next step. We broke up in early December. I'm trying to take the next couple of months to heal and resolve my emotions (sadness, anger, etc) resulting from the breakup. My issue is that I ran into an old friend (who is male) randomly last week and we were talking about movies (something we're both into). He asked if I wanted to go see a movie and I agreed. I didn't think too much of it at the time- we've gone to see movies before as friends and I'm just trying to stay busy, but I suspect he may want something more. I doubt he knows about my LTR or my breakup and I'm definitely not ready to jump back into anything. Any advice how I should bring this up?
jphcbpa Posted January 8, 2015 Posted January 8, 2015 just be honest and come from the heart. agree you should take all the time you need to heal. get to a place you love being alone...then you will have something to offer a partner. 1
KBarletta Posted January 8, 2015 Posted January 8, 2015 Any advice how I should bring this up? I don't think there's any burning need to address it, unless he brings it up. If you've gone out as friends in the past, keep it on that level until and unless he tries to raise the stakes. If he does, be honest and tell him what's going on with you. If he's a friend he should understand. But I don't think you need to bring it up first.
RedButton Posted January 8, 2015 Posted January 8, 2015 I agree, go out and see how the night goes. It might be that he just wants to catch a movie with a friend. If he wants more than that, you need to be honest. If he seems like a nice guy and you honestly feel there might be something between you maybe you can revisit later on when you are healed if you both wanted to?
