Hey dancing chic,





If you broke up with him you had a good reason. Take it from someone older you really can never just stay friends.

Breaking up is subject to the Geneva Conventions which stipulate you be honest, be brief, and be gone.





You have to tell him to his face, and tell him the reason. ';I don't have feelings for you.'; is a good reason, for which you do NOT have to make apology or explain at length. You are also not to be cruel or insulting or hurtful. Wish him well, say goodbye, and leave.





It is likely that you will be friends with a gulf between you from then on. While I have carried torches for some of the ladies I have known I did not seek their company after the breakups. Indeed, I felt better with distance.
You can always continue to be friends, just apologize and make sure he apologizes as well. Tell him you don't want to stop being his friend and make sure its not awkward. Act like you were always friends, and just go with the flow. If he still has feelings for you, tell him its best if you guys are just friends.


best of luck :]
well i can tell you this much..





as much as people say ';after we break up , we'll still be friends';


it's much harder then it sounds. especially since he has feelings for you still. you guys can remain civilized, and on talking terms, but as far as friends goes, that is extremely difficult. especially right after the break up
I personally believe that friends after an 8 month relationship just won't work. If you want to be able to move on at all, you have to cut the cord. The more you talk to him, the more you are going to wish you didn't break up with him.


Let him move on in his own time.
i usually dont talk to them for a while. then end up missing the friendship part. now im friends with all my Exs.





best thing you ca do right now is give him space, not flaunt that youre dating other guys in front of him, and dont give him hope of you two getting back together anytime soon.
hun its as easy as this, if you want him to get over you and move on with both your lives,you can't be friends.there's too much history in 8 and a half months:)
Just say listen you are still a really good friend to me and i like you as a friend but i don't like you that way.
Stay as friends and then go out with somebody else so you don't think about it
