Ex Girlfriend broke with me now wants to take it slow

[Twballi]

Hi my ex broke with me Jan 14 2017. 6 weeks later met me to give me some stuff back. One thing lead to another and we talked about how much we missed each other then we had sex. She now wants to take it SLOW.. what does this mean? There are boundaries that we are not going to see other people but can something be rekindle what we had? Btw we where together for 5 years.. help

What were the reasons that you broke up after five years?

Sorry. After breaking up after a 5 year relationship, if you really think you made the mistake of breaking up - you don't take things slow. You try to win the other back.

 

In this case, I think you both miss the familiarity of the relationship. She liked having sex again with you and she wants to take it "slow" because she doesn't really want to get back together, she just wants to hang on to you until she finds someone else. Don't fall for it. Don't hang out with her. You are not a FWB.

Slow means she is not giving you a free pass. You must earn her back. Prove to her that you need her in your life and that she will make you be a better man.

Anything less than an honest effort and she will go away... she is giving you another chance.. dont blow it.

It sounds like you got back together but she doesn't want to get hurt again and thinks going slow will reduce the risk of that.

Of course if you've never resolved the reasons for the breakup, both of you will get hurt again.

One thing lead to another and we talked about how much we missed each other then we had sex. She now wants to take it SLOW.
