How do I get an ex-best friend back?
I had a best friend, who I was close to. He moved schools and decided to stop talking to everyone from our school (me included). Now he is talking to everyone from this school, except me. So, I emailed him and long, thought-out email. His reply was simply ‘thats sweet’.
What should I do now?
Thanks ![]()
Nothing. You took the first step now let him take the next one. If his friendship is worth having he will take the next step. If he does not, then he is not intrested in being your friend and is not worth it.


firstly you have to found the source by which you find him, tell those friends which between you and your friend and leave a message for him to every one. then talk with him frequently.

I think that maybe you should just move on, or give it some time to cool down and he might see what he is missing. Maybe he has moved on and now you should.

don’t make it to long & drawn out though you don’t want to sound desperate
Guys don’t normally like desperation

I would just set up like a hang out or something. ask him is he want to go somewhere with a bunch of peeps that you are hangin with. then when he is there just mess around like friends do and maybe the friendship will be tight again.

Nothing. He’s an ex. If you got back together it wouldn’t be the same as before because you have both moved on. You wrote him a nice email and he’s been in contact back with a very diplomatic and short answer. I don’t think he’s interested in being ‘best’ friends again so just leave it at that and keep your dignity. If he doesn’t speak to you, don’t worry about it and act as if you don’t care – even if you do. You won’t then end up looking clingy and needy.
