Should i talk to my ex about dating other people?

Question

my ex and i broke up 4 months ago and i was heart broken, neither of us wanted the relationship to end but my parents made it too hard for us to date (they want me to finish my education before becoming seriously involved)...plus he was about to move 3h away for a new job so it was best to end things. we decided to stay friends, and if the feelings are there in a year we could try again then.

since the break up, we talk several times a week and try to see each other whenever he comes to own. But recently, i have had several guys ask me out and im not sure if i should pursue anything. one the one hand, i still care for him very much and i am having a hard time letting go. but on the other hand, i am still young (22) and wonder if i may be missing out on a great guy by hanging on to my ex.....

i am really confused and dont know what to do...i am not ready to open my heart to anyone, but i figure going on dates will help me decide if he really is the one i want to be with (he was my first bf)

now, should i talk to him about this? should i tell him if i start seeing other guys? what do i do in this situation?

pls help

Answer 1

Quit leading him on--apparently your mind is made up! Not unless you are a player or whatever you wanna call it!

Answer 2

You don't need nor have to tell your ex. He's your "ex". Move on & enjoy life. You two aren't together just very close friends. If you two (ex) really wanted it to work, you wouldn't let anyone stop your relationship.

So no, I don't think you need to talk to him...seems like you want to let him know & get his opinion...

Live your life...date, have fun!

Answer 3

Yeah, I think you should go out on a few dates. Don't jump into a relationship since you just broke out of a serious one but have a nice time with other guys.

Yeah, you can tell him that you want to try to move on with your life and try to see other people. Hopefully, your ex doesn't fuss about it.
