Staying friends with an ex best friend

Ok so here goes a situation where you are friends with an opposite sex and you two develop feelings for each other and hang out once in a while. But theres no physical contact only feelings involved and you get to know eachother over the phone and the guy brings up marriage and tells the girl hes interested and works on his career and skool. The girl, put her hopes up as the feelings were there already.

Long story short, the girl leaves for vacation to see her parents and stays in contact with the guy but not on a regular basis, comes back to find the guy totally ignoring her/giving her the cold shoulder and after some facebook investigation :hoonh: finds out the guy has started seeing another girl and he keeps lying about it but admits it after shown the evidence. The girl is heart broken and decides to leave the guy but the guy still wants to stay friends with her and swears he really liked her but cant marry her because his family didn’t agree to it (culture differences but same religion). Also, the guys family adores the girl. The guy has had couple relationships before but girl is inexperienced.

Is it better to stay friends with the guy or not? and is this cheating?

Maybe....kinda....nah not really...well....you never know.

Someone slap her before I do.

NO YOU DON"T STAY FRIENDS

Rack.

Re: Staying friends with an ex best friend

Was it cheating? From the looks of it, yes.

Better to stay friends? No it just won't be healthy. Besides If any of you 2 get involved with someone later on in your life, it would be unfair to them if you you stay in touch with your ex's, not mentioning the potential problems it can cause.

Re: Staying friends with an ex best friend

If u had the feelings then u can't be friends.

Re: Staying friends with an ex best friend

Move on dear.

Re: Staying friends with an ex best friend

The guy never promised marriage but only use to say, if its destined to happen, it will happen. In this case, is this cheating? because even though the feelings were there, they werent together. The problem is since they still go to the same college where they met and were really close emotionally, its hard to avoid each other.

Strong the force is with this one.

Re: Staying friends with an ex best friend

The lamest and easiest excuse a guy can give .. well .. sometimes girls use this excuse as well .. :stuck_out_tongue:

anyway.. to the topic .. a BIG NO! .. .. the guy wants to keep the girl as back up .. or .. friend with benefits .. (if he play along better).

Re: Staying friends with an ex best friend

ofcourse no.........

Re: Staying friends with an ex best friend

what do you mean? There is no physical relatioship involved.

Re: Staying friends with an ex best friend

so what happened afterwards? how do one get over loosing a friend and someone you really liked?

Re: Staying friends with an ex best friend

how can they be friends...? when she knows that he ignored him n played wid her

Re: Staying friends with an ex best friend

Time heals. Find another friend who you can talk to and who will listen. Very important. I had someone who would listen to me whenever I needed and WANTED and this is how I got over things.

Re: Staying friends with an ex best friend

Facebook investigations! Ha, brilliant. You should totally not be his friend anymore, he is a dumbarse; if one is secretly involved in a flirtation with more than one person, then lesson number one is stay away from bloody facebook.

Re: Staying friends with an ex best friend

first of all this guy is not gona marry that girl .. that is clear. now IF he play along better then he can act like this pervert. I am just telling you the extreme side to make you realize what would be side-effects of being friend with your ex.

Re: Staying friends with an ex best friend

Since life is not a bollywood movie, no you shouldn't be friends and shouldn't sing at his engagement.

Move on with your life, do something productive. Start dating. It helps.
