I want to get back with my ex

[Noahbarnes122]

So I'm 16 and a sophomore in high school. I met this girl at a dance in 8th grade and I got her number and we started dating. She went to a different school so it was hard. When it was time for high school we decided it wouldn't work because she went to a different high school than I did. A year later I ran into her at a football game and we talked. And a week later I asked her out again. We went to homecoming dance together and we had fun. But later we realized that neither of us could drive yet, and even though I was getting my license in a month, my state doesn't let me drive friends for 6 months. So we decided to break up. A couple days ago I ran into her and we started talking again, and now I think I like her. But she told me she liked a guy but they were both too busy to date because she had softball and he had a job. I want to ask her if we could try again, because we can both drive and have our own cars. The only reason it didn't work before is because we couldn't drive ourselves to see each other. I want to make this work this time. I've liked other girls in the past but I don't feel the same way like I do about her. What do I do?

you're still young. don't be so hung up on someone that's already moved on. there's tons of other girls and high school relationships usually don't last anyway, so take that as a sign.

Noah... slow down. You are a 16 and not to minimize it, you are going to meet A LOT of girls between now and then, and there are going to be a lot of "never felt like this before" moments. I have said that many times and thought each one couldnt be topped and guess what? They were. You are simply not in a position to date. Doesnt mean you are not mentally ready, but you dont drive, dont have a car, you are in the 10th grade and thinking of "how to get an X back" is the last thing that you should be worried about. This girl is also going to go thru a lot of changes and her appeal will also change. She is going to like different guys and she is learning about what type of guy she likes. She is not looking for a husband. She is growing and so are you.

 

So what I would suggest is this.. She knows you are out there, you know she is out there and what you do is just keep things light. Meaning nothing heavy, dont about about dating or being Girlfriend/boyfriend or the future. Keep things light and fun. You are not the only guy she is going to date so dont get jealous.

 

Relax, slow your roll... stay in your lane and calm down. You are going to meet girls when you make yourself open and available.

Ask her out and drive to the date.

We went to homecoming dance together and we had fun. I want to ask her if we could try again, because we can both drive and have our own cars.

I agree with wiseman - ask her out, but pick her up and drive her to the date!
