Basically, i moved to Arkansas 2 months ago. Soon after moving i met this guy and we started dating. We became very close very fast but he broke up with me on Friday (yeah there are a couple other topics about him). Anyway, because i spent so much time with him, i don't have that many friends that are not also his friends. Which makes this all a whole lot easier for him....

Yesterday i avoided him, cause it kind of just hurt me too much to be around him. I cried like all weekend and listened to Brand New (bitterness helps the healing process - fact). But basically he broke up with me still wanting to be my friend (it is explained in my last topic if you really care). i know that never really works but i kind of need it to. I can't lose him - especially because it means losing pretty much everyone else i have out here. On Mondays and Wednesdays we have the same lunch time so we always ate lunch together and with a bunch of his friends. Last Monday when we were still dating he wasn't in school and i still ate lunch with them - we get on pretty well.  

Would it be really weird if i ate lunch with them tomorrow? I think i kind of need to, to be around him as a friend. My friend Hari (also his friend) agreed that i should.  

Anyone think it's a bad idea? Keep in mind i don't really have anyone else to eat with if i don't!

Because we're hotter when we don't give a damn

And he's been your boyfriend for less than 2 months.. it can't be too bad of a breakup?

I think it's alright. But also feel free to just text one of your mutual friends and hang out rather than hang with your ex's group the whole time.

You'd be surprised. In my opinion, you don't need to date someone for that long to fall in love with them. I already wanted to have sex with him on our first date (and almost did) - and i'm a virgin. We spent A LOT of time together.

Yeah, I just read your other posts. I can understand that it's hard, but not the point where you'd have trouble doing anything without him. Find new friends, build friendships with your mutual friends that don't rely on him as a middle point...

I have friendships with our mutual friends that don't require him as a mid point - just not the ones we eat lunch with, haha.
