Posts: 134 (01/27/2009 9:54 PM) Reply Quote More Recent Posts	I just want to send him a short little email letting him know that I don't want things to be awkward between us, and that I'm fine with us just being friends. When we broke up I didn't really say much, and I told him that I can't be friends with ex's. I was pretty upset at first, but after the first week I'm perfectly fine. I ran into his friends at the bar over the weekend and had a ton of fun, so I'd hate for that not to be possible if he was around. Everything I write up makes me sound desperate help?

I would just keep it really short, sweet, and quick. Almost like a memo-you don't need to add details or rehash the break-up or talk about how you still care for him or whatever.

I think with breakups a lot of times you get a false sense of being okay with things later on, and then feelings complicate later on. It's obviously dependent on the situation, but if you really want to be friends with him, then just show him that through your actions, don't write a letter.

I ran into your friends at the bar the other night and had a lot of fun, and I don't want you to think I'm mad or upset at you anything. We didn't date all that long, so I don't see the point in the whole "no contact" thing. Hope all is well and good luck with your applications! (is this good?)

Even if I am still upset (i lost my virginity to this guy) I just want him to know that I'm doing fine. I'm going to run into him (we live near eachother and hang out at the same spots) and I just really don't want things to be awkward. It'll make things worse for me.

His friends love me and we have a ton of fun together, they really are a great group of guys. I don't want it to sound like that at all. I honestly like hanging out with them.
