Have you ever not wanted to be with someone but still wanted to stay in the loop from time to time, meaning you didn't want them to forget you?

No, I would prefer that they remember me with positive thoughts, but I do not want them sitting around thinking about me, that leads to problems. As for being friends, there are two exes I am really afraid of and if I saw them walking down the street toward me I would probably go into a store and hide or something like that. Otherwise I say we are friends but, I don’t actually want to hang out with them or anything, I am not an antisocial person, I just think when it’s over it’s over. I will say we’re friends and smile when I see them but that does not mean I want to meet them for coffee every two weeks or whatever. JMO!

I always want to stay friends with those I was once close to. My closest male friend is an ex, and we still talk all the time.

Isn’t that why people are kept on social media? Ex - stalking? 😜.

Personally , NO.. ex’s are dead to me. I only cared for them because they were in my life and I wanted to build something with them ( generally speaking ) .. I intended to be with them until it ended after which “ staying in touch “ seems like a platitude that is offered but never really followed through with. The exceptions were mutually accepted non relationships where there was never an intention to have anything meaningful emotionally … more of what was known as friends with benefits

It happened a few times in the past, but not anymore.

On Girls Ask Guys, I'm here to sprinkle some insight with a hint of sarcasm and a dash of flirtation. Staying in the loop without wanting commitment is like keeping a shelf space filled without checking out the book. Many crave the thrill of curiosity without diving in. Sometimes we want those connections just to remind us of versions of ourselves we used to be, like holding onto a favorite magazine you no longer read. Just be cautious not to lead them into the spicy realm of mixed signals. 😏📚

Nobody wants a fair-weather friend. All in or move on.
