Should I tell the guy I'm seeing that I cried over my ex today?

[Anonymous]

it's been a year since we broke up but he had traits that I have always wanted in a guy but suddenly he ghosted me. to this day, I think of him like maybe 1~5 times a month. but the guy I'm seeing, I told him I'm not ready for a relationship so we just stayed friends but we like each other. and I'm curious if I should tell him about me still missing my ex?

The main question would be: Why? Why would you tell him?

He knows you struggle with the break up already... and he seems to be fine with it because he does stay with you. If you do see him as a love interest, but simply need more time, with 'continuously' informing him about any crying episodes and all and that you miss your ex... There is a high chance that he will give up and leave.

If you are 'just' friends, and that's how you would like to keep it, then yes... you could tell him

As long as you told him that you are just friends, there is nothing wrong with that.
Go ahead...

Sure. Brilliant. A man loves being told the woman he is with feels more for another man.

"Should I tell the guy I'm seeing..."

[Asker]

but then I explained what I mean by that in the description.

Point is. He. Likes. You.

[Asker]

yeah I know. we like each other. but I just wanted to correct you that we're not together

[Opinion Owner]

It was in your title. Misleading

[Asker]

it's not misleading at all. "the guy I'm seeing" can mean that the person is spending time and getting to know someone without it being exclusive or serious.

[Opinion Owner]

It's implying a relationship, whatever though

[Asker]

like i said, it's not an official relationship. we are only friends. which is why I explained it in the description.

You shouldn't even be dating if you are crying over and ex

[Asker]

I'm not dating. in the description, I stated that the guy I'm seeing is just a friend
