Reply To: “He Wants to Get Back With His Ex”

If you’re planning on disappearing from his life anyway if/when he is back with his ex (or with someone else) and if your friendship is, for you, really contingent on the possibility of a relationship, then I don’t see what you have to lose by telling him how you feel about him. Two things will happen: he will return the feelings (either immediately, or perhaps gradually once you put yourself on his radar “in that way”); or, he will not return the feelings and you can disappear from his life as you were planning to anyway, knowing that you at least tried and it wasn’t meant to be.
