I read The Morrigan's article "So you want your ex back - tips, do's, and don'ts!" regarding "Getting Back Together" and I liked it a lot. The initial article is amazing and I actually think it might work. I will now start my way through it.
I guess my problem is less than for others since I only dated my latest girlfriend for a couple of months. But I really fell in love with her, and when I got her message that she didn't want us to meet anymore it hurt me pretty bad. Maybe the time you've been toghether isn't that much of a difference if you have really strong feelings for the other person.
Anyway, now to my problem and my questions...
The thing is she broke up with me through a single mail. I tried to reach her the same day I got it, but got no respons at all. I guess she saw that it was me calling and didn't want to answer. Why, who knows? Personally I think it is always better to talk in person if you wanna break up with someone. I then wrote her a very long mail the day after, in which I told her what I really felt about her and how hurt I was that she had taken this step. To me it came as a flash from the blue. The date we had some days before was just fine, cute and nice.
The thing is I haven't heard a word from her since that single "break up mail". She did not return my message on the phone, she didn't returned any answer on the mail. In her mail she wrote how much she really felt for me and that she would like to be able to keep the relationship with me, but since she'd been pretty bad hurt some months ago by her old boyfriend she was not ready for any relationship with me. She wanted to get past her lingering issues from her latest relationship. What makes a person act like this? What can be the reason she didn't even reply on my mail? How should I act? The thing is I actually think she have or at least by the time she broke up had feelings for me. Could the reason be that she's dating more than me and that the "past relationship" thing was just a cover? Could the reason be she's trying to get back together with her ex? I've been trying to date a lot of other women, but every time I start thinking of her. I guess I was more in love with her than I thought I was, and I'm still hoping she will change her mind about us. But first, how should I interpret the case that she isn't responding at all? I must have been worth more to her? The strange thing is also, as I mentioned above, that the latest date we had before the break up was really good, and I couldn't sense anything wrong going on at all. I noticed that she was holding back a bit, but I interpreted that as she was just taking it easy because she liked me and didn't want to rush. I told her I accepted that and that her holding back was no problem for me.
Is it normal in the US that girl- or boyfriends is just ignoring the other part totally after a breakup? At least, this is the first time it happens to me. I am not from the US originally, and I mean dating cultures can be different.
I still really love this woman! She's the sweetest and cutest thing that ever happened to me! And I actually still believe she wants to get back with me. But I can't get in touch with her, I don't want to pressure her and I really don't want to spoil it totally. Please advice!?
