I would become totally unavailable towards him and set up some personal boundaries. I wouldn't call him either and I would utilize this time to get back on your feet and weigh out the positives and negatives in dating him.

If you really want him back, WHEN he does call and asks what you have been up to, tell him that you have been busy and getting on with your life. If he asks you for specifics, tell him kindly that this is personal information and you would rather not disclose it and end the call first. Be nice to him.

By doing these things you will:
1)feel much better about yourself.
2)You are not being manipulative, controllable or spiteful.
3)You are being straightforward and honest, after all, he has apparently went on with his life and you don't have to answer to him.
4)This will stop him in his tracks because you are defining what type of friend he is to be i.e. close, distant, best, friends with benefits etc.

Chances are, he'll start chasing you because he will see your value increase because you are suddenly unavailable or too busy for him while being his friend however, you are just busy getting on with your life at the same time. If things heat up, you can start a new relatioship with him by talking about the things that didn't work out the first time, you are now calling all the shots. A basic human trait is that we want what we can't have and when we have it, we take it for granted. Good Luck =)

call him or stick your hand under a blow torch and see which hurts worse and causes the most damage

prolly calling him will

i think if your over him and really think you can just be friends , for example you want to be friends , can you handle his new girl making out with him while your there you know kissing etc and the answer to that is the answer i would suggest to your question

Okay, this is a deep deep emotional and psychological issue you're talking about. There are some serious consequences to whatever choice you make. I assume you're a girl judging by the story you wrote. I'm no psych therapist, but I have alot of experience with this on the other side. First you were with him for two months, so it's not like you invested alot of your life with him. Two years, 5 years, 10 years, then you might be able to make your case. That aside though, let's say you thought this was the one. Why did he leave? Was it you, him or both? Do you really just want to be friends or rekindle that magic you had? What are his intentions? Does he say he wants to be friends to use you as a plan B in case his next relationship goes down in flames, or is he letting you down easy and saying this to not hurt your feelings. One thing I've learned, if they're still interested in you, don't press the issue, let them make the first move, sit down and talk, work things out, and press the reset button. I've had 3 exes relight the flame with me, so it is possible. Best of luck and wishes to you, I know how hard it is. Forgive me if I sound a little edgy or jaded, I've had my heart broken too.

Too many women fall into that trap.
