jennifer asks :

My ex-bofriend of 6 months just recently started Iming me and asking me out for a drink. HE is 34. I am 22. I got very attached to him while I was ending my year in college and even traveled on SPring Break with him. HWe were together every day every night for the whole 6 months, then he started telling me that I was too youg for him, and he was too old for me. I told him that this was weird becasue I was used to dating older men and he knew it. I am very serious and respected his feelings so I said fine. I lied and said, Its fine, I dont want commitment either, I respect you and never want to hurt you. He told me he was no tready to commit. So I was in denial for days then suddenly it hit me hard. I cried at night when I remembered all the good times. We never fought nor argued. I get nostalgic sometimes but Im in a new relationship. He does not know this. But last night, he came to my restaurant. He made eye contact with me. He said hi to me and tried talking to me but my new boyfriend was there. Now i'm confused but I know he must not want anythign serious since hes not asing me to get back with him. I just need to hear soe advice becaseu I get sad when i think of him and very nostalgic. Hes a beautiful man, drinks alot though but still, has a good heart. What should I do? SHould I ignore his chats? his calls? his coming around? or should i try to engage in conversations with him online? or through email. I want to and I dont want to stay in contact with him. WIth the holidays, I know Ill be very sad with my new man. I will miss my exboyfriend...Please tell me what to do to be happier... thank you,.....love , jennifer

Jennifer, there is no point in you being in a new relationship with your boyfriend when you are feeling this way towards your ex still. You are obviously still very in love with you, and if he is making contact again now then perhaps he is now ready to commit. You need to talk to him about this and to discuss the past and be 100% truthful. If you still feel that you will be very sad with your new man, whether anything is happening between you and your ex or not, you should end things with him, as it is unfair for you to lead him on in that way. Just talk to people, that way you know what they are thinking, and do what your heart tells you.

Jenny Jenny Jenny! Why are you with someone else if you are so madly inlove with somebody!? This makes no sense to me! Do not be with this other fella..sort your self out! How fair is that!? Don't get your hopes up about your ex though, he doesn't necessarily want to make a new start so don't bank on anything happening. Just see how it goes, and if things don't change then you need to get over it, you're not together any more and you've found another man who wants you for who you are.
