okay i have an ex who wants me back, we are really good friends now, but i just dont like him like that. so he asked if i liked him and i told him yes because i was scared of ruining our friendship, i have a boy friend who i am truthfully head over heals for. now i feel guilty for telling my ex that i like him first of all because i dont like him and i wasent being honest, and second of all because now i have to tell my bf what is going on. so how do i tell my ex in a nice way that i dont like him? because when a girl rejects him he gets really depressed and hurts him self. and then how do i tell my bf what happend with out him getting mad at me? please i need your help!

Ah, the rewards of not telling the truth! Sounds like someone's going to be mad, take your pick.

You don't need to bring your bf into this unless there is a threat of him finding out. Clear this up with the ex. You responsible for being honest and not giving false hope. Tell him the truth, then let his family know his just having a hard time with some things and may need someone to talk to.

Im afraid frienship with an ex is not always easy ive tried it ,Tbh if u tell ur ex u have a boyfriend he will get very depressed ,so maube one solution is to start avoiding ur ex ,and telling him from start that theres no way you will get back with him and if he wants ur frienship he should let go of the idea of getting back together .Since u said you are good friends,no personally telling ur boyfriend all depends on what type of character he is really.

Tell him that you think you misunderstood exactly what he was getting at. Let him know that you DO like him and you will always like him but that you would like to move on and see who's out there. Tell him that it's ok to keep in touch but that it would be as friends only at this point, until you both agree that you would like to start dating again. Don't forget to tell him what a great guy he is and that any girl would be lucky to have him....maybe he won't be so depressed and try to hurt himself.

First thing, call him up and tell him you aren't interested in dating or seeing him, and that you are just friends and that is how you like it. If he can't respect that and still be friends, then you don't need him.
Your ex is an ex. Keep him that way.

explain to the BF first and foremost....if it gets back to him before you have a chance to explain then he may not understand and it could get really ugly...then take the BF with you and explain to the ex the way you have on here and things just may turn out for the good...goodluck and hurry.....

Tell him there are reasons he's an ex and you don't want to be any closer than you are now.
