Hi, I broke up with my b/f, I felt depressed so went to see several fortune tellers. They were pretty accurate about some stuff...and 2 of them said that my ex likes me a lot and he would come back next year.

I dunno if this is giving me false hope. I wonder if any of you had similar experiences?

BigSis agony auntMy darling, fortune tellers have a very clever way of tricking you in to believing what you want to hear, just as Dovian has stated. Same goes for those zodiac star signs you read in tacky magazines and newspapers.

You make your own fortune and your future depends on only you, you just need to know how to control it. So don't rely on these people, in my opinion they're all tricksters.

We offer free and I'm hoping helpful advice. You have a wide choice of aunts and uncles here, listen to us not them.

Remember these, they are what I've written in my profile;

1} Follow your heart's desire, and if you want something bad enough ~ chances are you'll have it, if you don’t get it, it could be because you didn’t try hard enough".

2} There's a tremendous feeling in making others happy, despite our own situations.

3} Today is a gift, that is why it is called The Present.

4} You only have one life, and you must live each day as if it were your last.

That's what I believe, anyway. You have to snap out of your depression and just be happy.

As someone stated previously, the reason you're seeing these fortune tellers is to seek an answer that you were looking for: your b/f coming back with you.

It is false hope that you went out to seek. If he's not willing to make sacrifices for you whereas you'd make sacrifices for him, why bother? You deserve someone who will match your love. You are single, ready to mingle! Best of luck to you.

Sophia_Sweetheart agony auntWell it depends what you believe but I think it's a waste of money going to see one. Maybe there is hope or an element of truth, but if what they say comes true, then I'd say it's more of a coincidence sweetie.

the fact you said that you have seen several fortune tellers says something to me....none of them gave you quite the answer you wanted. Now think that through for a minute because really you are seeking confirmation of something. You need to live for now yes, and you need to find answers and make decisions yourself. i speak from bitter experience whereby I had a very controlling boyfriend who left me so terrified of life that I spent £300 in 3 weeks phoning expensive live psychic telephone lines. They can be addictive and when you feel isolated and lonely too (like I did) just talking with someone about it seems to be addictive. I can sit back and see this now so I hope my experience helps you. By the way none of them actuall nailed the situation - but just filled my head with key points that left my head spinning with 'what ifs' all night.

I've no doubt that some people have a great knack for knowing things they couldn't.

But true Seers are extremely rare and would probably never ever use their ability for gain.

That chick that MEDIUM is based on is apprently really accurate without any details whatsoever.

But the majority of fortune tellers are crap and wouldn't know anything more of your future than you do.

Any way, try not thinking of the future so much. Treat this life its all there is and that the future is up to you and you alone.

Sorry babes, but that's how life goes. The next guy will be better and probably able to give you the committment and respect you need. Look to your future and forget about the past. You are now free and single so go out and have fun with the world.... Take care of you, hugs.

19agegap is verified as being by the original poster of the question

haha you're funny. well we were together 9 months and were happy. Before I realized that he doesn't want commitment. He moved away, I asked for commitment IF i'm going to move for him. he wasn't comfortable with it said I kept nagging him and broke up with me. I guess, the answer's pretty obvious?

Yes. Fortune tellers have only one fortune to tell, that is their own. They wait for gullible people to give them money and tell them the rubbish that they want to hear. Easy work if you can get it. When you visit a fortune teller their job is to give you false hopes and make you smile, they take your money to tell you whatever you want to make you happy.

Fortunately you are now at Dear Cupid, we charge no money to give you the advice you need. I don't know if your boyfriend will come back, I don't know if he still cares. You have not given me enough information to provide you with an opinon about the likelyhood of coming back to you. Please update your post with more information about your relationship with your ex, both in the past and at the current moment.

Lol I wouldn't trust a fortune teller. Unless you have carefully explained your situation to the fortune teller, and that fortune teller is a good acquaintance with you and your ex, I wouldn't trust them. I'm not religious or any junk like that either though.
