    My ex boyfriend asked me to go back out with him, but i think that he just wants to be in a relationship, and as soon as he finds something better hell leave. I'm gonna talk to him first, but i think im gonna say no. still, what if he does really want to go out with me? I'm afraid that if i say no, hell be hurt, and I'll lose one of my best friends.

    NO! All the way. If he doesn't want to be your friend just because you said "no" to him...well then it shows you what he's after. Don't get into relationship you know you won't feel comfortable about - not worth it. So what if he really wants to go out with you? Do you want to go out with him?

    Im pretty sure i dont. and i asked the wrong question there... what it was SUPPOSED to ask was, If Im afraid of hurting him, does that mean i still like him?

    You care about him . Like him ? It's possible, but it doesn't mean you do . Look, pretty sure normally means you do . But the question is: Are YOU afraid of getting hurt ? If you say no, he's gonna have to be a guy and freaking accept it . He'll get over it .
    I was scared of hurting a guy back in January . I hurt him a lot worse than I thought I would, but hey, he's fine now . If you wanna take the chance, take it . It's all you whether you think he's for real or not .

    Don't be a heart-breaker like Mindy...she's cruel! haha :P just kidding

    Does it matter if you like him or not? I don't think it does if you know there wouldn't be a future for those emotions. Besides, if you're against still liking him, you shouldn't. It takes a while to get over someone.

    You being afraid of hurting him is you just being a good friend... you may or may not still like him but *shrugs*.. gotta search your own heart to find that answer =)

    I just dont want to be in a relationship thats gonna end the same way it did last time: he acted like an idiot and then dumped me through a text message instead of talking to me about what he thought was going wrong...
