hi!!!I'm just having a dilemma here..few days from now,I'm going to meet the man I like (or love) for 6 years.things didn't work for us,though we stayed friends.I haven't seen him for a while and now that we are going to have a simple get together, the news of him having someone new makes me want to back out from our plan.I want to see my friends,but I guess I don't want to see him.I'm a transparent person,everything I feel shows.I still want him,but i don't want him to know that...i want to move on..but how?

i was in a similar situation before. what i can only suggest is, listen to your heart if you are ready to see him yet or not. If you think you can't handle seeing him again yet, then just try to avoid him. time will pass and soon you won't noticed and you'll probably amazed yourself too. it'll happen naturally.

Everything is up to you if you wanted to move on better to let go & forget everything so that its easier for you to move on with your life rather than holding into a relationship that only you long to keep. Just relax take control of yourself enjoy seeing him for the last time reminiscence the past looking at him. Enjoy & take your time.

The best thing that you can do is not to see him. It's a very easy thing to do to make some excuses. It is very crucial if you insist on going where you say that you are the type of person which is very transparent. Everything will be known and it might end up to something that you do not like. Or the alternative option is to become a direct person to tell him what you really want.

if you don't come, there is a possibility that people would think that you're still very much into him though you really are. the best way to move on is to have a conversation with him or get to him face to face... you have to face your fears my friend. :D

If you know you would not be able to see him, I think you should back out but if you can't and it is a group meeting, try to avoid him although not totally so it does not seem so obvious

Actually you already move on..problem is he has a girlfriend but you don't? am I correct? If I'm correct that is your problem.. Cause if you have boyfriend you don't have any problem going their..You just simply got their with your boyfriend..That simple..lolz

That is a really tough one. If you do not feel that you are ready to see him with another person or even to hear about how he is with another person, it would be wise to back out. I am just saying why hurt yourself it is not going to help you move on from the situation. It can be hard to still stay friends when one person does not feel the same way the other person does. I know that for me, if I still had feelings for someone it would be very difficult to still be friends, I usually will let that person know that i need a while of time away from him or her to just be away it is too hard.....It is not healthy for you and probably is going to not be good for him either, because he will feel bad and wonder why it is that you wanted to meet in the first place. It is just a tough situation to be in. My cousin said she was with a guy for a few months and she was really into him but he was not into her, so he told her that why is it hard for her to just be friends and she told him everything, she said that she is fine with being friends but not to talk with her about other people he dates and the like. So he doesn't and that works for her. Maybe that is something to consider as well. Good luck!

I thinnk one of the things you are going to have to do is see him. Sometimes seeing him and being around him helps you learn to not show your emotions and feelings. The more time I spent around the man i've liked for 7 years I've learned to deal with it and be friends. Id rather have him as a friend then not have him at all.

hi rookie.. i dunno if i really get what you mean, that mean you are going to meet him with friend also right? all you emotion will show yourself to other totally, if you really dont want to let him know, why just avoid for a while, till your mood become stable. becoz now you are going to see him only make the situation worse as you may cry in front of him or cant stand to tolerate your feeling especially if he bring his new come along. keep it up, you will find your love and maybe few years ago, he is your one if he is destined to be yours happy mylotting

Hello, rookie. Things may change when you already see the person you always wanted. Sometimes circumstances will help us open our mind and heart if you still like/love the person you haven't seen for years. We never know the feeling you've been hiding is just a superficial love. Once you see her again things get clear to you.

well that sucks that you were going to meet him but then you found out he had a girlfriend! i would think that would defeat the purpose of getting together! i mean, if you guys dated before, stayed friends, and are meeting, i would expect it to be at least slightly romantic. and, sentimental. how can you feel such feelings if he has a girlfriend? i wouldn't know what to do. this probably actually happens a lot, and there's probably articles and novels written. well you really like him. so. if you don't get together with him that will send him that message, sort of. but then again, you may want to see him. to be friends.

I've been in your shoe and my weakness is I get easily blush when I get nervous. It is so embarrassing to me. I hate it. I think just don't avoid him. It's better to stay friend after all.
