Should I tell her how I feel? Need wise advice!?
Long story short, Im hanging out with my ex-gf as friends only, and its killing me inside. I dont want to be friends, however if I tell her this I might lose her completely and I dont want that, even as a friend its good to have her, she might be my best friend.
We were hanging out today and her mom called and she had to say she was alone, she told me to keep quiet. Her mom really hates apparantely because when we were toguether we had to big fights and she dint like that.
What should I do? I want to tell her how I feel but I might lose her friendship.

She just may need more time. I got back together with my ex. We were together for A couple years, were best friends new each other for ever before dating. We broke up and didnt see each other for 3 years. We started hanging out as just friends and 6 months later we're together again. Neither one of us wanted to talk about it at first, he didnt want to tell his parents and I didnt tell mine, we kept it a secret. Which maybe she wants to do that until she's sure about your friendship. Give her time. Dont rush her, just be her friend and show her you're there for her and she can trust you. It takes time. Be patient, what happens happens.

It sounds like you need a new love interest. She should know how you feel, that you still have feelings for her but you are willing to be her friend because you would rather have her in your life than not. But if her parents dont approve thats not a good sign for a future relationship. Try to spend time with other girls or meet some new ones because remember this is an ex girlfriend and she only thinks of you as a friend right now.

Do what I did,
1. Look at her Body Language does she react a specific way when she speaks to you?
2. Try to hang out alone most times, talk about things non-school related
3. When the you are alone with her, and you have probably shared some personal information tell her that you like her.
I never met your friend, so I don't if she will react the same way my girlfriend reacted when I did this. Hope this Helps!

haha well you got one thing going for you. Girls are often attracted to that one guy that the parents hate the most. Anyway try revealing your feelings in a more subtle way. Bring her a rose sometime and kiss her on the cheek. Say something like "thanks for being you". You know just melt her man... but act cool, like you aren't trying to stir anything up. Just keep doing nice things and looking like you'd make a great boyfriend even though that isn't what you want to be. Before you know it you'll see that gleam in her eye again.

Jj is on a roll for being really annoying on a lot of her answers.
The sensible thing to do would be to openly and compfortably let her know how you feel, tell her what you told us, but don't say:
"Love Talk Etc... But, I mean, If you dont want to, thats fine, because you dont have to if you dont want to, I am fine with just being friends with no more relationship than that!"
More like:
"Love Talk Etc... If you don't feel compfortable, I am fine with being friends, until, if ever, you are compforatble with trying our relationship again."

Hey,
You really need to tell this girl that you need out!
You need to move on and if that means loosing here friendship then you have to let go.
Its for the best...imagine if you met someone new...how would the new chick feel at you hanging around with your ex??? (or imagine if your new girl still seen her ex.how would you feel???) cause most girls would be off like a shot.dont risk future romances for someone you dont want to hang with.

You should tell her that you want to be her man not her friend. If you don't tell her then you are just torturing yourself and setting yourself up for disappointment. She's hanging out with you now under the impression that you two are just friends. So you should tell her how you are feeling and take it from there...

put all the cards on the table ......if she don't like the hand and she quits..then good! Why waste time?, why hide your feelings? what good are feelings if you have to pretend they are not there. Ha d a preacher tell me sometimes it's a plus if her parents don't like you. Because if she loves you it really won't matter what they like

mabey the time has come to let go of past time's and look at the future. by telling her of your feelings you might lose her or get her. i would say don't do it . it is better to have her a little then not at all.

Well, if you let her know how you feel, make it blatenly clear that if she doesnt feel the same that you want to remain freinds, it will be better in the long run, you will know instead of spending forever wandering "What if?"
