IF the break up didn't end bad.. ...it was kind of understood that it wasn't going to work out ... but he initiated it and the guy said to the girl if you need to vent or anything she can go talk to him but the girl said she doesn't want to seem like she's using him and she said she doesn't want to talk to him . the guy said : he understands.
but a a month or so after the break up the girl text him and ask how he's doing but all she got was a simple response.
the girl is still hurting but wants to know what's going on with this guy.. and then the girl e-mailed the guy and said she will delete him as a friend and the response she got was : we all got different ways of doing things. best of luck.
has the guy moved on? are they not friends? if the girl still wants to be friends (maybe not right now) what should she do. any ideas on why the guy only throws out limited response? Any sort of input with be wonderful! could he really have moved on that fast? or is he still recovering himself?
Update: Thanks everyone that commented :) I really appropriated the feedback :)

I think he is trying to get over you since you guys both decided it wasn't going to work out. You texting and e-mailing him is making it harder. I think he's having a real hard time but just doesn't want to show it. maybe he is taking time so you guys won't be strangers but still be friends after wards. Apparently he still has feelings for you, but probably he thinks that your over him and he thinks your just trying to push him away and comfort him and what not. Maybe he thinks your just trying to give him pity. there are many possibilities, but if you do still like him why not give it another shot? and sure as hell he and she can be friends.
Well Why I e-mailed him was because I actually was talking to one of his friends and his friend told me that he still misses me ...but when I attempted to contact him..he seems rather distant and cold... ...ehh...yeah.. - 13 days ago

He probably thought his friend wouldn't tell you. He probably thinks that YOU'RE over him while you think he's over you. Maybe you should try meeting him in person and talk to him and see what's up? - 13 days ago

But I told the friend not to tell him b and in the e-mail I clearly indicated that I still have feelings for him & that if he doesn't mind I'm going to take him off my friends list so I can heal .. but his only response was " We all have different ways of dealing with things" "best of luck"... how am I suppose to comprehend all that? ...Met in person?......isn't that like begging him back? what if he already moved on? found a new girlfriend? and he initiated it so that would mean he's not goin - 13 days ago

Exactly maybe he is trying to act like he doesn't care to cope with it and to help you get over it. or maybe as you said he found a new girlfriend. There are MANY possibilities, but how long did you two go out for? and if it was a long while why not give it just one more try to spark something and if it was for a short time I think you should try your best to get over it, yes I know it's SOOOO hard but eventually you'll get through it. and no harm in still being friends with him. - 13 days ago

U did . :) hehhe.. he did tell me that he was surprised how attached he was too me.. but I don't know.. ..Just don't know if I should talk to him in person.... Do you think I should just move on? - 13 days ago
Answerer
If you have feelings for him and your positive he's not trying to play you I think another chance for you two is all you need. Come on you've known him for over an year. You can't see him in person? Just try to have fun talk it out and such. If it doesn't work out from there then yes you should definitely move on. I guess you don't HAVE to talk to him in person just give him a call or something. But its sure as hell worth it to try and not work out than regret it your whole life. - 13 days ago
He's p*ssed at you. You went cold on him he got hurt then mad, and said I'm tired of this crap and moved on. Basicly his short response show's anger. That he's upset with you. He's upset cause you went cold, and basicly told him I don't wana talk to you in his mind. Thus, now he's like fine ok have it your way. No problem. It goes back to that old saying of, be carefull what you wish for, "You just might get it!"
He probably thinks it didn't work out with you the first time and is not into playing games. Girls/women like to toy with guys emotions at times. Seem to be always looking for signals about how a guy feels about them and will do stupid things to "see" how the guy feels about them. Guys usually know what is going on and for the most part are not into those...I would say he has moved on.
He has moved on and away, and she should too. It hurts when someone feels rejection, but holding onto the source is not a good way to make one feel better. Distance is the best solution.
If it doesn't work, it doesn't work. Don't try to get him back because he says that he's fine with you not talking to him. I think that he's probably just trying to make it easier on you since you're broken up now, but don't spend too much time overanalyzing things. If he's done, he's already made up his mind. Now, in the future you'll probably be able to be friends, but I'd give it some time. Don't try to jump straight to it or you'll have compromising feelings, just wait until you're interested in someone else or it'll be hard to deal with being only friends. And just a suggestion, don't tell him things like you don't want to talk to him or you are going to delete his number/e-mail/etc. because you'll most likely regret it in the future.
Honey, you should just move on. Trust me. Been there...done that.
It's good that you two didn't end in a negative light, but giving him text messages or e-mails and phone calls just prolong YOUR hurt, and keep you in a state of sad limbo. You will ALWAYS stay in the past if you don't cut off ALL contact with him.
You guys broke up...it's finished. In fact, HE initiated the break-up (according to what you said), so that's even MORE reason to leave him be! If he wants to rekindle things with you in the future, then you can figure out what to do IF that happens. But honestly, I would forget about him because if he dumped you, how "into you" could he have really been? Find yourself a guy who really LOVES and appreciateds you and doesn't want to break up with you. He's out there somewhere!
In the meantime, maintain your dignity and continue to be the fabulous diva that you are! Don't humiliate yourself by continuing to keep contact with him. You need to show him that you're moving on too. I'm afraid that your continuing to try to contact him is only going to make him more and more frustrated with you. Because honestly, I think he's moved on (or is TRYING to move on) sweetie. :-/
Thank you. :) I'm trying to move on too and you make a good point and I've heard that lots from people around me. I guess it's just very hard to forget someone that I've fallen in love with. I know lots of people have been there and done that. It's like most people tells me that they think he had some jerk like qualities but I don't see it like that though and that always gets me right there. but thanks tho :) - 5 days ago
You don't say how long the guy & girl were together, but a month isn't that long to "move on".
I think he's acting this way because he doesn't want to be the bad guy. His offer for the girl to vent was just said to be nice - I don't think really meant it. The same goes for the short text msgs. He doesn't want to be a jerk by not responding; but he also doesn't want to get deep into things and open up communication with the girl again.
I see it this way: he initiated the break up and he hasn't attempted communication with the girl -- she has. He's moved on.
She can't force him to be friends (the email about threatening to delete him as a friend proves that) . She needs to just leave him alone, so she can move on as well.
He may be having a difficult time with this the break up too. If it is understood that it isn't working, he may have moved on but that doesn't mean he has forgotten about you. The simple texts may be his way of moving on without continuing a conversation with you like what your used to when you were dating. Sometime guys that don't know what to say or have nothing to say keep the lines of communication to a minimum. "we all got different ways of doing things" is right. Everyone has different ways they deal with things. All I have to say is stop showing him your emotions and leave him be. If he can't figure things out on his own, you communicating or acting on emotions may be just another reminder that he did the right thing. But from my experience if the man leaves, he has put some thought into it and the best thing for us girls to do is walk away and cutt communication so he has that time to "miss you". Don't erase him as a friend(he may think you are trying to get a reaction from him, and what if it isn't the reaction you want? it may make you regret your actions...) If you do nothing at this point he will wonder... That is what will make him think about you and reflect on the relationship. Hope this helped. Best of luck to you...
Thanksgiving is right around the corner and just like the last year and the year before, you will most likely spend it with your family. And just like everyone else, you have a crazy uncle or an...
