Question

What should I do if my ex wants a casual relationship but I want more?

Answer 1

Be absolutely honest with your ex. If s/he isn't willing to give you the commitment you want, you're just setting yourself up for a heartache.


On the other hand, articulating your feelings for your ex may make him/her want you back on your terms! You'll never know until you own up to your feelings and let them out.

Answer 2

Then you should not be friends at all. There's nothing worse than being in a relationship or "friendship" where your feelings are not reciprocated.
