Take a chance on me

  Hello DJ Chloe,

  Please call me Clare. I’m a single mom. Recently, I got in touch with my ex from 10 years ago, let’s call him Leo. Leo was my first love and we were young and crazy in love, but I was the one who got away.

  He reacts on my IG stories, heart my photos and asks how I am and my son. We’re both single and unmarried. We’ve known each other since kids and our families are good friends, too. If you don’t know any better, you’d really think he really likes me. But I made him clear it up for me, we’re FRIENDS, at least that’s what I understood. Now, Leo’s leaving for work abroad. I really thought we’re cool about us being just friends until I cried about it because I realized how much I love him still and how I never stopped dreaming about ending up with him. We had this ring back when we we’re still together engraved with “j’attendrai” a French phrase which means “I will wait.” I want him so bad and I’m so stupid that I wanted to tell him how I feel and that I’m still waiting for him.

  He’s tall, good looking, stable and a very nice guy any girl would fall for him. Me, on the other hand don’t have the slightest chance. I mean look at me, I’m already a mom, some might even call me “damaged”. I hate myself for feeling this way about him and I want it to go away. Please DJ Chloe, talk me out of it, I don’t want to ruin a perfectly good friendship with him. Thanks DJ Chloe for sharing, and more power to your show.

  PS. If possible, would like to request Leanne and Naara’s version of Somewhere Over the Rainbow. Thank you so much!

  Hi Clare,

  You made him clear it up to you, that you’re friends, at least that’s what you understood.

  Well, just like you, I am also hoping what you have with him is more than friendship, and if so I’d be happy for you.

  Tell you what, why not be honest with him? What have you got to lose? Dati naman naging kayo, and it seems to me may something pa rin siya sa’yo.

  Take a chance, tell him, get it off your chest. If the feeling is mutual, then everybody happy. If not, then that will be your closure. So if I were you I’d take a chance, but I wont expect, at least nasabi ko.

  Kung hindi man mareciprocate ang feelings mo it’s okay, and it’s not because you’re damaged or something, being a single mom is not a curse, okay? So never look down on yourself just because you’re a single mom, hindi lahat kinakaya ‘yan.

  Take a chance, it’s a crazy world we live in, you don’t know what’s gonna happen next.
