Idiot32 Posted January 8, 2020 Share Posted January 8, 2020 I separated from my son's father 7 years ago. We have done a decent job co-parenting and remaining friends. Last week while talking about our son, some how the conversation became flirtatious. After days of texting and joking , he basically came out and asked if we could hang out ( without our son). I couldn't tell by the flirting if this was a request for a dating type situation or a hook up. So I came out and asked directly what he was looking for. He basically said not to mess up what we have and just be friends. I don't want that , I want to try dating. Should I say anything or just drop it? Link to post Share on other sites
schlumpy Posted January 8, 2020 Share Posted January 8, 2020 Seven years is a lot time to change. What separated you in the first place? Has that problem or problems been resolved or accommodated? If you have made no attempt to address the reasons for the breakup then why do you expect a different result this time? Link to post Share on other sites

stillafool Posted January 8, 2020 Share Posted January 8, 2020 He just wants to be friends while dating others. If you want to date and fall into a relationship find someone else. Link to post Share on other sites
smackie9 Posted January 8, 2020 Share Posted January 8, 2020 If that is what he said, then don't hangout together. Date other people. Link to post Share on other sites

He doesn't want to risk what is a very good arrangement - as you say, you do a good job of being friends and co-parenting. Unfortunately on his end, getting back together isn't going to happen. Make of that what you will. Link to post Share on other sites
usa1ah Posted January 10, 2020 Share Posted January 10, 2020 (edited) Really need more information. Were you married to him? Why did the two of you separate? Have the two of you been dating others? Do you want to get back together? Edited January 10, 2020 by usa1ah Link to post Share on other sites
