It couldn't be any better

Give ME another chance, please?  - This somehow illustrates how he asked for another chance (though we were talking in the phone.)

Valentines Day is fast approaching. It sure is! :) I'm not worried that I'm single this Valentines Day... Having amazing yet crazy friends is enough for me and having my family in Valentines day is more than enough. I've ever expected such things to happen. Last Feb. 7th, my ex-boyfriend texted me and asked how am I doing and I just simply replied that I'm doing good then after few minutes that my message was sent, he called and I was a bit hesitant to answer it since we haven't seen or talked in the past 2 years... After few rings, I picked it up and talked to him. He asked for my forgiveness because he wasted our relationship before and he said I am a good girlfriend and he regret that he let go of me... (I was touched but I didn't make it too obvious for him). He asked for another chance.. A chance that he said if I would ever give, he would waste and he will be a good guy too.. I'll admit to all of you that I still love him. I still do but I'm not going easy. The situations won't let me. Both of my parents are counting on me not to get attached to anyone as of now since I have lots of plans in my life. So, I told him if he really do love me, he'll wait. If he can then who knows? He then said he's willing to wait. And until I haven't reached my goals, he will still wait.. But for now, we will just be friends.. And that is the most important things. Being friends with the one you once loved (and still loved) is amazing. I'll see how long can he hold on his promise. But if we are really destined together, we will end up together no matter what... Single but in love in Valentines Day is amazing!

Hi bunso! You made me smile bunso! I felt the "kilig" factor,haha! You just made the right decision bunso,I'm proud of you! I'm so sure your mom feels it too. I even like it that way,you're both friends but you know that he loves you,that's the "kilig" factor,haha! And it feels good when somebody makes us feel special. If he really can wait,then,you are meant to be bunso! Just let him love you,if that will make him feel happy. Just be solid with what you have said to him. Take care bunso and Happy Valentines!

Hi nay! I'm glad that I made you smile again. HAHAHAHA! "Kilig"? I'm not used to it. CHOS! HAHAHAHAHAH! Yes nay. I have a lot of things to prioritize for now. I have something to open here in my city that is really exciting. I haven't imagine I'll be a leader. Will tell you more about this in e-mail! And yes, I really tend to make him wait since I'm not ready yet to be in a serious commitment. I'm still young and there's no need to hurry when it comes to love matters.. Right? I love you nay!

Wow! Good for you then! You got someone out there waiting for you now. That will surely make you feel special. But I would suggest that you ahould not keep him waiting for so long. I am a guy and my take on this is that I can wait long enough but I can't wait too long. Please also consider his side and the time of his wait, okay? Just a reminder. It is very great that you are in love but single on Valentines Day. You still feel love is in the air even though you are single. As for me, I don't know. I am currently single too and Valentines day is a bit off my thinking right now. I guess I just have to pour out on work at Valentines day instead. Still, I am happy at my current situation but I am still looking for someone who can turn my world upside down. Advance Happy Valentines day then too you!

Thank you AgentGulaman. You know, Gulaman is one of my faves. Yes, it will depend on how things works after few months from now. I don't intend to wait him too long. I just wanna test his sincerity.. And that matters most. But if he can't, its okay.. I'm willing to let him go! :) And I hope you can find the right girl for you. She is lucky! :)

That is really one of the better attitudes a person should have especially on Valentine's. Single women sometimes dread this day. It's really not necessary to have someone on this occasion as long as you still feel "in love." And it's also great to hear that your former boyfriend is willing to wait and you remain good friends still. Not that many can have that kind of a relationship with an ex. I guess both of you still have the same feelings for each other :)

What you said about single women sometimes dread this day is true. I know few! I hope he can really wait. Its really kind of a test for him! And also, I hope he still have the same feelings since what I'm feeling is sincere. What I mean is, I hope he is sincere too.

Actually Valentine's Day is not only for boyfriends or girlfriends, it is about all types of love so we can always celebrate it with anybody we love, even with friends. It is good that you are prioritizing your family and your goals in life. You are still young and you must enjoy your youth and your being single. Have a nice time.

That's very very true! :) Having friends and the whole whole family in Valentines is more than enough. And yes, I prioritize my goals in life first. I don't want the time to come when I'm old and I'd say to myself that I regret something because I didn't go on with my goals!

HI edsss, It's such a nice feeling to know that someone still loves you. It is good to hear too that you are prioritizing your life more than love - but managed to asked him if he can wait for you. From there you can test his sincerity and patience too. I am single on Valentines day too, happy kinda sad... but I am moving on and knowing my priorities now. So, a Happy Valentines for us!

Hi enelym! :) It is indeed a nice feeling.And yes, I'm asking him to wait (if he can) is a test. A test of his sincerity, patience and of course of his love. Cheers to us!

I'm happy for you that you have ended up being friends with the person you once loved and still love. It is also nice to hear that he is willing to wait for you until you reach your dreams and golas in life. It is okay to be single on valentine's day because it is not just for couples to celebrate but for friends and families also so you can still have a wonderful valentin's day with your friend and family. However, I don't understand why you both can't be together if you still love each other. How will he be a hindrance to your goals and dreams in life? But, if you are happy just being friends with him for now and wait then I wish you all the best and happiness

Thanks! :) And about your questions.. My parents are over-protective. (All parents are, right?) They don't want me to be like the other acquaintance that we have, who got pregnant and forced to get married in young age because they got pregnant. They don't want me to be like that and regret in the end. But you'll say its up to us to do the thing. We really don't know how temptations works, right? And we don't know how to control it.. So, its better to avoid!

Hello edsss, I can't imagine how amazing to be friend with someone that you once loved and still love. If you love him, and he really loves you, why not both of you be together? No offence to you but I don't get it: Why wait? How long you want to make him wait? I think, if both of you are together, as a couple, nothing can stop you to execute your plans, or let's say goals of your life, right? I'm sure, a guy who loves you would fully support you! :D

I know that some may find it confusing.. But, its my parents. They don't want me to be in a relationship because they say it will just ruin my plans and dreams. I've asked that to myself too. Why will I make him wait when I do love him? Well, I'm just pleasing my parents orders. I don't want to disappoint them, even though it will cost my love for the guy. I think also I'm not ready yet to be in a relationship after few years. I'm waiting for my heart to be ready.. About your question, I think I wouldn't make him wait too much long if he will prove to my parents that he isn't a distraction or something.
