I Don’t Want to Be Your Friend Anymore
I have a really bad habit of staying friends with my exes. I say it is a bad habit, because that is what it has become – I go on a few dates with someone and a month or two rolls by and then it fizzles and ends. We say let’s be friends – after all – there was a reason we liked each other.
But the truth is, I don’t want to be friends with this person. I have tons of friends – some of which I barely get to see. Why do I want to be friends with someone who reminds me that I had yet ANOTHER dating experience that didn’t work out? I have my unfailing memory to crystalize that I am in my mid 30s with no Mr. Potted Plant in sight and a trail of failed attempts at forever.
So I am going to call it for 2009 – no more being friends with the exes. The past is the past and let’s leave it there. Friends are people that have a bright and uplifting spot in your future.
To all my exes – I am deleting you from my facebook friends – stay the fuck in the past and out of my newsfeed.

Great 2009 resolution there! Another potential bad thing that being friends with ex’s can do – they can sometimes be unconscious “back-up” choices. Or at least seem that way to any new relationships you get into.
I think it’s fine to be friendly with ex’s. But calling up your ex every night can seem a bit sketchy, in most cases.
