I have a Snapchat streak with my ex, is this bad?

[Anonymous]

My ex and I agreed to be friends (long story, I still have feelings for him) and he asked for us to start a streak on Snapchat. Is this appropriate/bad considering that he’s seeing someone? Am I reading too much into this?

[music_star6]

It’s not bad because you guys are friends what bad is that I am friends with all of my ex’s I like one of them who has a girlfriend but he knows I still like him and we’re still cool

[reptocarl]

He’s only friends to keep you around so he can use you as a backup plan. Stop being pathetic and move on

[Asker]

That’s what a few of my friends have been telling me, I just don’t know

[reptocarl]

Everybody is telling you to move on. What part of that do you not understand?

[Asker]

I just checked your profile, you’re not kidding when you say you’re very blunt

[reptocarl]

I find it does away with misinterpretation

[ProtocalXXIV]

It's probably not a good thing... but I'm not sure.

[Asker]

What do you mean, explain

[ProtocalXXIV]

What caused the breakup?

If he is with someone and still talking to you... it could be friendly Which is least likely... but he could still want something from you...

[Asker]

Long story but long distance played a major part in it. I want to think it’s friendly but some other stuff has happened in between and I’m not sure

[ProtocalXXIV]

Distance happens and people can sort of give up but still have feelings. If that's the case you may be on the backburner in hopes it fixes itself... but unless you want to actively fix it it's best to go separate ways because it will jut cause him issues with his new girl and it will put you in pain to watch it

[Asker]

The girl isn’t serious about him, which is giving me hope but I don’t know how to go about this to be quite honest

[ProtocalXXIV]

Well even if she isn't... sounds like they are doing it for the fun of it... and if you were serious... that is hurtful if him... it's best just to give up and move on... if he isn't ready to be serious now... it won't happen in the near future.

There is nothing wrong with having a snapchat streak even if he's your ex. It's just maintain connecting and friendship right.

[dragon9669]

If you're seeing someone it's bad. It's on him if he's dating

[Asker]

He’s seeing someone, I’m not at the moment. But I don’t think they’re serious

[dragon9669]

It shows what he's capable of though. Stay away is my advice

What's a snapchat streak?

[Asker]

When you and someone on Snapchat exchange pictures consecutively for 3 days or more

[mercykill]

No one I know uses snapchat anymore so I had no idea this existed. What kind of photos tho? Since you mentioned he's seeing somebody I'm going to assume it's sexual photos?

[Asker]

No nothing sexual, just regular pics

[mercykill]

Oh.. In that case I think it's normal but that you shouldn't get any ideias, friends send photos and if he's seeing someone try to be careful with what you send. That being said, not all girlfriends think like I do, and if he's hiding that you're trading pics, with you being an ex and all, it can be bad for you. I would just say straight on "I mean it's fine by me we're friends and this is innocent but does your girlfriend get that?" and if he answers something like "my girlfriend doesn't have to know" then he's an asshole, because she doesn't have to know, but she should out of respect and if he's trying to hide it he's not ready to be real friends with you or he's trying to escalate things into nude territory..

[Asker]

Nah I haven’t sent anything inappropriate but he once messaged me at 2 AM the day after my birthday

[lMike]

Move on.

[Asker]

Easier said than done

[lMike]

No its not. Its a mindset.

[darkmilkdud]

He still likes you

[Asker]

You really think so? Would you personally keep a snap streak with an ex that you’re friends with?

[darkmilkdud]

Yes , yes I would
