    Call her and ask her if she would be willing to meet up.

    If she says yes, then ask her if she would be willing to give it another shot.

    If she says no, then you have to respect her wishes.

    If she was the one that needed the space, then I would let her text after that if she wants to. I wouldn't be the one to text.

    I cant see how it would be possible to move on when you're texting someone you're still in love with on a regular basis.

    Put yourself out of your misery. Call her. Find out where you stand once and for all.

    Well then leave her alone. The more you push the more you'll push her away. Chase her and she'll run for the hills. If someone asks for space give them all the space in the world. If you don't you'll look like someone that doesn't have their own life to lead and relies on them. No one wants that, especially women. Neediness is a big turn off for them and rightly so.

    Rejoice in the awareness of feeling stupid, for that’s how you end up learning new things. If you’re not aware you’re stupid, you probably are.

    Sorry OP, but if you don't leave her alone, you'll just get on her t*ts.

    I know its very hard but she has made her needs clear so you have to respect her wishes. If you truly love her, then you will be willing to give her what she needs.

    ex girlfriends are notoriously hard to get back.

    This might seem hard to do for you but it is best. You need to not be texting her or ringing her. Give her time to miss you and think about you. And obvuiously to sort out what she needs to sort out. Let her text you when she wants, you can't be seen to asking to get back constantly because you will push her away.

    Yep because regaining trust or attraction that's been lost is a lot harder than building it in the first place.

    I will say this. I've had exes come back. More than once. On those occasions i was when I had gotten over them and had stopped pushing. And do you know what? I realised them leaving me was best for both of us.

    Move on, let her go. Let her go fully, against every instinct that you may have. Wish her happiness and get yourself back first. If she's for you, she won't go by you as my grannie used to say..

    Walk away and give her the space she wants. If she wants you she'll be back if not then it wasn't ment to be. IMO.

    You just have to let her have what she 'thinks' she wants. Maybe in time she will come back. But if she says she needs time, then no amount of flattering her, or adoring her, or anything basically, will get her back. You always want what you can't have. So if you let her have her space, she may realise thats not what she wants at all

    Hey

    I find it a bit tough on you that she's still keeping in contact by text. I would agree with what's already been said. I would ask her to meet up and talk about the possibility of the two of you getting together again. If it were me and she said no, I would be putting a lot of distance between the two of you as it will give you a chance to get a clear head and move on. Its not fair to be kept dangling like that.

    Hope it works out for you.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,796 ✭✭✭MJOR


    She has asked you for space and you need to respect that.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 30 whose-law-anywa


    Forget about her. Move on. Why do you want to get back with her. If she was the one she would`nt have wanted a time out. What do you think the time out is for. She is most likely attempting to catch someone else and keeping contact with you so if it all turns to **** then you`ll be there to nurse her ego. Even if you do get back this space will pop up again at some other time. Ive got the T shirt.

    If however you still want to get back with her and think you are different or special then quickly start seeing someone else whilst being very friendly with her. Have hints dropped by others so she finds out not directly by you, its critical she believes that you are happy with new person and moving on. Bam, you`ll get her back but again as i stress this will come up again. Also its not very nice to the other girl. Live and learn i suppose.

    Why do U want to get her back ? What did she
    do to U ?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,577 ✭✭✭StormWarrior


    OP, when people say they want a break, it often means that they want to break up but don't want to come right out and say it, hoping that you will get the message. Saying she wants "space" sounds, imho, like she wants you to leave her alone. It is possible that she replies to your texts only because she doesn't want to seem rude and harsh by totally ignoring you. I don't want to sound too harsh either, but it sounds to me like she doesn't want to date you any more and is waiting for you to get the message.

    Can you not use txtspk and not use carraige return when it isn't needed (alternatively this may be a computer glitch on your side).

    If she doesnt want to get back theres not much u can do dude. However cut her out of your life FOR NOW until you're ready to be around her in the "friends" capacity cos otherwise it'll get messy believe me.
