I had a best friend I decided to date for some strange reason. It didn't work out the first time so I decided to date him again, which didn't work out either. We broke up and are still friends. He's probably the only person I talk to everyday. Sometimes I find myself having some slight feelings and missing him a little, but then I remember how awkward it was dating him and stop having those feelings for about a week. I know I shouldn't date him again but I still have these feelings for him... its kind of horrible.

WHAT DO I DO?

It's pretty common to have feelings for your ex, even if things ended badly. You just need to find a hobby or something else to throw yourself into for a while and the feelings will eventually ebb.

I agree with Dandelina. Do other things. Talk to other people. If you sit and dwell on him everyday, he's not gonna get out of your head.

Maybe some space would help? Remaining close friends when you still have feelings for him will make it so much more difficult. I feel like you miss the idea of a relationship with him the most, you're idealizing it.

As others have said, throw yourself into work/school/hobbies/whatever you're into. It's a great time to pick up a new hobby or get started on something you've been meaning to do -- a craft, getting in better shape, learning to cook, etc etc etc.

Feelings happen and continue when you see someone often.

Perhaps give yourself a couple of weeks away from him. See other friends, start a new TV show, bake cupcakes, etc. And then maybe try hanging out with him again and seeing how you feel.

Once I made the mistake of continuing to hang out with an ex I still had feelings for and it ended terribly. My heart would ache every time we got together. I wish I had saved myself the trouble and had some space away from him for a while. We're good friends now but I wish I had spent less time with him sooner.

What do you do? Not date him again. But you do need to create some space between you two. It should have been left alone the first time, and you found out it won't truly work the second time, a third time is just going to do damage and leave you with an answer you already knew twice before.

Hang out with other friends, spend some time alone. Maybe even write down a list of reasons it didn't work but don't go back for more and more just because there is a small puddle of 'feelings'. In a way, save yourself the trouble. Pick up a hobby or something.

Unpopular opinion: Ew haha, I can easily say I do not have even the slightest romantic feelings for an ex. But even through all the !@$# they put me through, I can only wish them the best.
