How do I break the ice about talking to my ex without appearing obsessive?

Question - (23 April 2008) 2 Answers - (Newest, 23 April 2008)
A male United States age 30-35, anonymous writes:

My gf broke things off two months ago. I still love her and I want her back.

I want to talk to her, but the problem is it seems like there is this force field between us. Im not sure if she's desperately trying to avoid me or if im just being a coward.

She told me a while that i need to just give her space and someday she'll come around. I dont know if she meant it or if that's just some schtick she said to get me to leave her alone.

How do i break the ice without seeming like an obsessive jerk?

She may be confused about her feelings for you and genuinely want space or she may just have said that because it's nicer than saying GO AWAY!!

Whatever is in her head, it doesn't really matter. What matters is that you need back off.

You need to work on getting over her and getting your confidence back.

Think about it, what is she going to find more attractive, a confident man, or a begging puppy? Work on being single and yourself for a while. If she realises she misses you and comes back then you'll seem more attractive by being confident and in control. If she doesn't get back in touch then you won't have sat around wasting your time waiting for her.

Good Luck!! xx

TELLULAH agony auntMmm! You cant really can you?

If you get in touch, that means your not leaving her to get on with whatever was wrong in the first place.

You could send a text just saying that you respect her wishes and will let her get on with her life. But you would have to leave it at that, and not expect a reply. Maybe she will get in touch eventually, but dont bank on it and get on with your own life.
