How do I tell my ex I don’t want to get back together with him?
Ok, so I currently have a boyfriend, but I am still close friends with my ex. I have no problems with being friends with him, but he keeps bringing up the fact that he really wants to be with me, and that he wishes that I had never broken up with him, and stuff like that. I don’t want to say something to rune our friendship, but I do want to somehow tell him that I’m not interested in him anymore. Any suggestions as so what I should say?

Don’t beat around the bush.Tell him straight up that you are not interested in getting back together with him.
Maybe cutting ties with him will help him to realize that its over
just tell him straight up that u moved on and u dont see him any more than a friend now…ask him to respect ur decision and treat u only as a friend and nothing more..
don’t mince words: " I really like [current bf]. I am never ever going to have any romantic interest in you again."
Crush him. Its the only way.
Hes gonna be mad , not matter how you break it to him. Its really a lose-lose situation for you, im sorry, choose one
Just be honest, but be honest in a kind sensitive way, you can never go wrong with telling the truth about how you feel. hope i helped =)
the next time he says something like that and if you alone or somewhere quiet that won’t embarrass him do the following:
-stop what you are doing immediately, pause the movie, mute the TV, put down your spoon or water glass. This gives an immediate effect that tells him you are about to say something VERY important and that his words have been spoken for the last time.
-look him straight in the eyes and say his name very softly.
-briefly touch his hand or arm or leg in a non-sexual way. Like a soft pat. This signify’s ending/closure.
-say "I really enjoy our friendship, it’s very important to me and I want to keep being your friend. I need you in my life on that level, can you be only friends with me? I hope so but please let me know if you cant."
He will get the message!!
Tell him straight out. He might be upset and need some space, but its the best chance you’ll have of still remaining friends.
