Don't know what to do about my ex girlfriend

We broke up 2 months ago after 11 months together. The relationship hadn't been going well for a while, which was mostly my fault. I had become distant and after a month or two of that she felt too pushed away from me. She ended it because she had developed feelings for another guy and no longer felt as strongly about me.

We're in sixth form together so we see each other around a lot.

So for the first month or so following the breakup, she got together with the new guy, and me and her didn't speak. There was obviously some bad feeling there, mostly from me to her due to the nature of the break up.

But over the last month, we've started talking when we see each other around. It's very happy and friendly, we'll always hug at the end, and it's obvious there's still feelings between us.

But I don't know what to do:

If I carry on talking to her every now and then, I get a horrid feeling when we have to say bye and I know she's with another guy now.

But if I cut her off, I get a horrid feeling of seeing her around everywhere but knowing we're just strangers now. She's a genuinely nice girl and I would like her in my life in some way, and going from what we had together to absolutely nothing would be hard.

Thanks for any advice :o

Put the internet to work for you.
