Question: I am confused about whether or not I should tell my ex that I am still in love with him. We only dated for about three months, but we've been knowing each other since grade school, and I still feel that there is still something there. We basically broke up because he thought he was doing what was best for me at the time, since he was at a rough point in life and he felt like he couldn't benefit me any at the time. It's been two years since the break up, and we've remained good friends over the years, but I often wonder if we should give love a second shot? Should I say something to him? If so how should I go about all this?
VictorM's advice:
Yes, you should tell him. You don't need a master plan to say it to him. Just say it plain and simple: I still am in love with you and would like for us to give us another try.
Just be prepared for rejection. I wouldn't believe any of the reasons he gave you for the breakup because guys notoriously lie about that. They would do just about anything to minimize hurting the girl. But you should try because regrets are the worst thing you can carry around with you. Forever wondering "what if..." would be a lot worse than dealing with rejection.
