We we're best friends before we went out. now we took a shot at the dating thing, and it seemed to have gone really bad. we've been going out for over 2 years. we also didn't talk to each other for about a year before that, and we've done a lot of stupid things. we talk casually, but I don't know what to do. we aren't as close as we use to be.

Why on earth would you consider wanting your ex back? He is an ex for a reason.

What keeps you two a part? Does she know how you feel? Why might she want some distance from you? My boyfriend left me for another girl and I thought "fine" we were done. I met somebody else. I moved on. I didn't realize he still had feelings for me. He called and said I left something of mine at his house and I should come and get it. I was irritated at first. Then I said"Well, bring it over". so he did and it was a dozen roses!!!yellow ones, my favorite color. I was so charmed and I dumped the other guy. My ex acted like he cared. He listened. He didn't criticize. We both admitted we had been wrong and we both wanted each other again. We made a new commitment to sticking together and the benefits that has. We are still together and its not easy, but I firmly believe that sticking with someone has more benefits than dating too many other people.

I'm going straight 2 your question.How 2 get my ex back in my life. Tell her you would never want 2 lose her as a friend. Things didn't work out in the relationship department, but your friendship is what you really miss. I believe honesty is always best. Sure you may still love her, but not like a lover so much has happen. Now all you want is your friend back.....Talk 2 her.Good luck

Sorry to have to tell you, but this bird has flown. Looks like the "stupid stuff" reached the boiling point, and you are never going to be a close as you used to be. Clearly something went so wrong it shook not only the relationship, but the friendship as well. Move on, with an important lesson learned.

Try hanging out...grabbing a bite to eat, movie, bon-fire? Hang with other people and you two will evenutally be friends again. Maybe dating was a huge mistake on your friendship. Doubt if it will ever work to be friends again for the both of you, but maybe you will be after time.

That is one of the dangers of taking a friendship to the next level. Can you put the genie back into the bottle? Nope, still be friends if possible, but move on...

Sounds like you need to work harder. If you truly love her, then go out of your way to prove it. Be romantic and keep things exciting. Too many relationships stall because people just stop trying.
Don't take what you had for granted. If you want her back then sweep her off her feet!

Sounds like you were better off as friends! Why not just treasure that and not go thru all of the emotional drama of trying to force a relationship out of it?

Well, what do you want out of this relationship?
Uuumm, do you feel like your losing touch or he/she is losing touch? Why are you stressing? Whatever is going to happen or already in progress.Flow~with~it~ lean~and~ rock~with~it!
I sense some insecurities lurking and surrounding your area
Slow it, easy there. Something is telling you that that he/she is drifting in the opposite direction..hhhhmmmmm!
Speak up, don't lose because to snoozing...........
