Dealing With an Ex Girlfriend – Is It Okay to Date Again and Still Want Her Back?

Dealing with an ex girlfriend can end up being a pretty tricky situation. On the one hand, you know that you kind of do want her back and on the other hand, you have to admit that the idea of being free to date again also seems to have its luster. You might be feeling torn apart because you feel this way and you might also feel confused about what you should do. Is it okay to date again and still have a part of you feel like you want her back?

Short answer: Yes.

You are human. You are a guy. We are who we are and we want what we want. So, of course you are going to have that part of that is actually a little bit excited about the idea of being able to date again even if you still feel like you want her back in your life. The fact is, it’s usually not going to be one of those deal breakers as far as her coming back to you, if you happen to date casually after breaking up.

She might even do the same.

There are some women that are probably going to have a problem with the idea of an ex boyfriend wanting them back and still dating someone casually, but you know what? Those are usually the same kind of women that you don’t really want to be in a relationship with… unless you like the idea of pulling your hair out in frustration.

REBOUNDING IS FINE… JUST DON’T GO ALL IN -

The only real thing that you have to watch out for if you are going to date again while at the same time you want your ex girlfriend back is moving too fast with whomever you are rebounding with. Your ex girlfriend might find it a little weird if you have moved in with a new woman just weeks after the break up, especially if you are also trying to win her back at the same time.

That is really the only thing that you have to watch out for in most situations. Typically, you’ll find that it actually proves to be a good thing if you can move on and show your ex girlfriend that you can date again. You might even find that your ex seems to become a little bit more interested in you when she finds out that another woman has entered into the picture.

    I dated my ex-girlfriend for 10 several weeks. She left me eventually. The length reached her….because it will with everybody

    How do i deal with this? It has been 3 several weeks and I am not over her. I attempt and check out and check out everyday. I examine at any kind of updates she made on facebook simply to observe how she’s doing or maybe she’s another boyfriend or anything. I can not cope with this any longer…the discomfort is simply eating me from inside. Lots of people have experienced my problem before. I simply can’t handle it. I am bad only at that.

    I understand many people will see this and merely laugh at me since it would be a LDR also it was condemned to fail from the beginning however it really was searching great. I met her and everything. No awkward involved, nothing. We kissed (I had been her first hug). We’d a swell time. She lives about 7 hrs from me.

    I have never felt relating to this with every other girl. I virtually fell deeply in love with her. She’s coping with the problem perfectly fine (or that’s how she shows it you never know?) but all I understand is she’s coping with it a lot better than I’m and she or he is more powerful than me. We still talk but it is no t nearly as fun as it was once. I attempt too but she does not appear to provide much interest.

    Every single day I think about her, it is simply her I think about. I can not date other women. It isn’t fair to another women basically have feelings in my ex, but yet I’ll have feelings in my ex for quite a while. I do not think I’ll ever stop loving her…

    My ex and that i split up around three several weeks ago. It tore me apart, we’d been together for more than a year also it was completely from the blew. We have been very good buddies for 5 years now. It had been my first real relationship. He stated it had been while he lost feelings for me personally.

    Now we have connected(not sex, just playing around/kissing) a few occasions. He always states basically can’t psychologically handle it we are able to stop anytime. & each time as we do hookup he asks if I am okay.

    We have also hung out a couple of occasions without having done anything. I am really beginning to be seduced by him again, despite the fact that he stated that people probably wouldn’t date again since he does not desire a girlfriend now.

    Must I still apply for rapport, or should i back away?

    This is gonna be a long question, so bear with me please..

    I’m one that can easily slip back into depression since I’ve been suffering from it for 7-8 years so far, sometimes it’s serious sometimes not so much. I have my ups and downs, but recently things have really been making me feel numb?

    I seem to be really lost when it comes to my love life, I know it’s not much of a big deal at my age, but it’s starting to take it’s toll on me.

    Those of you who helped contribute to previous questions regarding my relationships, I’ll use the nicknames again.

    I dated Kiyou for 8 months, as we know he hadn’t had any feelings for me for 6 of those 8 months, but now he swears he loves me and he’s proven on more than one occasion that he does, recently however because we were in a long distance relationship I let him start dating again, which he did but he recently broke up with his girlfriend and told me that he and I won’t talk much anymore, and that he has no time for a love life, after that he began just yelling at me and treating me like crap. I still have feelings for the guy, and he’s someone I’ll never forget.

    Setsuna my ex-boyfriend of two and a half years, and his cousin Kurai, my best friend whom I dated for a few months, are currently living with me. Setsuna had slept with his gf (after we broke up) and the result was a child, whom he’s taking care of at the moment because his ex-girlfriend didn’t want anything to do with it. I have strong feelings for Setsuna, but because of complications we can’t be together.

    Kurai’s always been there for me, through thick and thin, and I think I may be getting feelings for him because we had been intimate (outside of our relationship) very recently, I won’t get into details.

    And then there’s Nick, who I was very close to for a good half-year, and had liked (I emphasise like at this period) for a very long time too, and he had claimed for most of the time we’d known eachother that he loved me. Soon enough I fell in love with him, and we started dating — but after a very short time, out of the blue he breaks up with me for no real reason. He was very mean to me afterwards, but we’re getting along okay now, but the feelings for him won’t go away, and I reacted to the breakup in ways I really didn’t think I would. (Had to take time off school, crying, etc) I was an emotional wreck.

    So then, I tried to forget about it all, and ended up dating someone afterwards, which I ended because I still had feelings for Nick.

    Then I got asked out by someone at school, and trying to get over Nick (Yes rebound I know..) so I agreed, and we got along fine, however the guy abruptly ended that relationship and got into another afterwards, and now the guy’s breaking up with his current girlfriend and is trying to get me back, but not because he liked me even though he says he does, but because (in my opinion, which is so vulgar obvious) my body.. this makes me feel really used, I wasn’t sad about it, I didn’t even care, I just felt angry about the way he had done so and thus in turn this made me feel very awful for not caring, and he had stuff said about me to him by people at school I don’t get along with.

    Right now, my head’s a mess, I’ve been off school because I’ve been really sick (flu, omg) which has led rumours to circulate about me being so ‘heartbroken’ over the current guy that dumped me. I’ve started getting pretty moody, and getting into a lot of unneeded fights with people, the most recent Kiyou and the most recent ex, as well as some of my friends.

    All in all, I know this exceeds manies capacity to analyse, but I’m a little stuck here on what to do. I’m not asking for a quick fix or anything, but any ideas or solutions to the problem, or anything to help me assess the situation better and come to a good conclusion myself would be very much appreciated, just a pointer in the right direction, anything.. thanks. <3
    P.S.: For those of you who think I slept with the most recent guy, no I didn't. By him wanting my body, I meant my body, as in physical features and yes he does want THAT from me, but I haven't and don't plan on giving it to him. I don't want to sound narcissistic but I'm told I have a large bust for a girl my age. I don't sleep with people I don't have feelings for, end of story. I give my body to those whom I love and love back, won't go into details.
