writes:I dated a guy for about 7 months and he ended things about a month ago. I wanted more of a commitment from him and unfortunately he wasn't able to give it to me because he wanted to focus on his career. Now I really miss him and I want him back. However, he doesn't want to get back together because he knows that I want more. I almost regret telling him how I feel and what I wanted because now he's gone and I feel worse without him. What do I do now?

I'm with Dirtball - you need to move on. He can't offer you want you want anyway, and has made it clear that right now his priorities are elsewhere in his life. You need to move on.

It's natural to feel bad when a relationship ends, but that doesn't change the fact that you wanted different things. That wouldn't be resolved by getting back together, and your ex knows that. He is being sensible.
You did the right thing by splitting up if he couldn't give you what you wanted. The aftermath is hard but you'll get through it. Good luck.

 Move on. It's not good to get back with an ex, and he doesn't want to get back with you, so you don't have a choice here.
Grieve the relationship, and put it behind you. Learn from your mistakes, and do your best not to repeat them.
For what it's worth, it's not a bad thing that you shared how you were feeling. It's actually for the best. 7 months is less of a loss than years if you had waited.
