    So I did almost 30 days of no contact. Then I texted her and we started talking. We texted for hours. She told me how guys chased her at the club and sent pictures of herself dressed up and I complimented her and we flirted back and forth. But after a while she started bringing up what went wrong and getting sad and stuff. I don’t want her to think about that stuff. Want her to see me as the new me I am. How do I go about so she stops thinking about all the negative aspects?

    How did you open the lines of communication like what did you send her? Ask her out on a date and try to have fun with her and show her the new guy you are!

    I texted her saying I understood why she broke up with me. Saying I had some growing up to do. That I was sorry for how I behaved after the breakup and that it all led me to change my life all for the better and now I’m a better man for it. Then we started to catch up and the started flirting but after a while things led back to why we broke up. Which of course ruined everyhting

    Did you beg and stuff after the breakup? I know I’m asking a lot of questions but I’m thinking about breaking NC and try to open the lines of communication again, could you maybe take a look at my thread and give me any advices?

    As for your situation, have you met her yet? Like face to face? I really think you should meet her up and do a fun activity together!

    Yeah I begged and pleaded. I even went to her house only to get yelled at by her father. Check my post history for all the details.

    I can’t tell how you should go about this. I suspect that her friends were a big part of your break up. Girls listen to their friends a lot. If their friends don’t like you that’s a big issue. I suggest you do NC for a while and then do what feels right. If it doesn’t work then I don’t know. I just did NC and followed my gut telling me to contact her and she has been texting with me a lot which is a huge improvement over her wanting nothing to do with me. Although she still doesn’t seem ready to take me back I know she still has feelings.

    I Am on the same boat. My ex still has feelings for me…But he still doesn’t want me back.

    I think you have to talk about what went wrong before you can move on. It’s ok that you guys are talking about that, but eventually that will stop..

    @robsam I’ve done NC for 33 days now, I think the peak of her missing me was around 3 week counting on her social media behavior. Do you think I can contact her now even though her mom told me to wait 3 months? I know she said that because then my ex will be over me and already moved on.

    And I agree with @travelbug.
    I really think you should meet up with her face to face and talk about eventually the bad stuff that happened between you guys, and then come up with solutions!

    @travelbug We talk about a little. I keep telling her the person who hurt her isn’t who I am anymore. I don’t think she feels like she can believe me yet though. But we have talked from morning till night for 2 days now. Just like we used to.


    @clear
    I don’t think you should wait 3 months. It seems a bit extreme. Although if you decide to initiate contact you have to be ready to handle rejection. If you feel like it would crush you I suggest waiting a little more. Or if you feel like it’s a risk you’re willing to take then go for it. If she responds and you can keep a natural conversation going without having it feel forced then great. If not then don’t show that it hurts. Just stop texting or contacting and wait some more.

    I do think she and I should see each other face to face but I dont want to rush things. Don’t want to scare her away if she feels like it’s too much. I’m taking my time and seeing how she reacts to what I say and then move on from there.
