My ex wants to work things out but has cancelled on me twice, what should I do?

[Anonymous]

My ex and I split three year ago. He contacted me a month ago and we have been speaking since then. A few weeks ago he said he still loves me and wants to work things out. He has cancelled on me twice. The first time he said was due to work and the 2nd time he said he wasn’t well. I told him to just leave it and that I’m happy to just be friends but he keeps on insisting on seeing me and wants it “meet” this weekend.

I really don’t see the point. And I just want leave it and go back to the dating scene. I really don’t get why he keeps on insisting when it’s clear he isn’t going to bother. And I’m absolutely fine with just being friends. What should I do?

Find a new ex. Move on, cut your losses, and get on with the rest of your life. The possibilities are endless, don't let the fear of the unknown stop you from moving forward.

Chances are he loves you but not in the way you think.




He wants what’s best for you, but he cannot put himself through dating you again. His heart is damaged

I say this because I legit have a similar dynamic with an ex. I talk to her only when she reaches out to me. And she always brings up meeting up but I never follow through with it because I don’t care for it. Regardless I still wish her the best

I understand your side, I have said to him we can be friends etc. But he’s the one that has chased me etc. He keeps asking to meet me but then cancels. I said to him we can just be friends so it’s just quite confusing but I’ve decided to just be purely friends with him now. I think he’s just playing games with me in this case

It’s never a good idea to be friends with an ex.

If you feel like you should just be friends, then stand in that and let him know.
