<human>: I won't bore you with a long drawn out story, but in a nutshell, My ex gf of 2 or 3 months is dating someone new. I left a comment on a pic of them together on her fb that said "very cool".

She contacted me, thanking me and played the "let's hang out sometime as friends" card. I'm not ready to be friends yet.

How do I tell her this without giving her power? The LAST thing I want from her is pity or sympathy if she says something like "It's okay, you take all the time you need to heal" As she pats my head like a child. She can be arrogant like that, so it's possible. Fuck that! lol!

At the same time, I don't want to be a dick and do the silent treatment thing because I would like to at least one day be her friend, but as long as I have these residule feelings, that won't happen.

So does anyone know of a clever way or technique that gets my point across while holding some resemblance of power?

Can you give me the gist of the text in a nutshell?
