So this guy and I broke up 6 months ago I still haven't gotten over him sadly...i miss him. The break up was really bad it was mostly my fault..but I really want to talk to him. He deleted me off Facebook back when we split. Is adding him again like now a bad idea? Should I text him saying hey? Or just forget him??

I don't know what to do help me!

you know what, youre still so young! i was in a similar position around your age and we both wanted different things and i kept on calling and texting and eventually i felt like a fool coz he found someone else. you need to be strong and move on. if its meant to be, it will happen. you may be thinking that you'll never find someone better, but trust me... there are tons out there. they always come running back anyway. i think guys either just dont care or eventually become affected by the fact that you can live life without them, and they contact you. lift your head up high and look for someone worth your time. Life's not going to stop for you so make sure this break up doesnt consume your world and hinder your personal growth and success!

lacrymosa_652 agony auntIt's tempting to text or email your ex just to say hey. But I think you should try and avoid doing this, and try and get the idea out of your head because the more you think about messaging him, the more you'll want to do it.

Don't worry, you're not alone. I missed my ex a lot and was very often tempted to contact him. But it's better to leave exes in the past. Focus on other things and get on with other aspects of your life, and eventually you'll move on from him. I know 6 months seems like a long time, but it just takes a long time for some people.

I have a feeling that you might have the idea in your head that if you talk to him, you both will start speaking again and may regain a friendship or get back together. This probably won't happen though, he may not even reply to you as he might have moved on. Plus, he may realise you haven't moved on, and while there's no shame in that, there's no need for him to know. I'm sorry, I know that's not easy to hear, but I think you need to leave him in the past. Look in the articles section on this site, there's one on getting over someone. Put the idea of contacting your ex out of your mind, and focus on moving on. Think of why your relationship didn't work out, and tell yourself that you deserve better.

Good luck x

CindyCares agony aunt Very bad idea, the more you toy with these ideas, the more it will take you to move on finally and for good.

muffy agony auntIf you haven't gotten over it hun, then don't go back to him. Your still healing. You don't need to torture yourself. It's gonna take awhile to get over him depending on how strong your feelings were for him but it's better to keep healing. Move forwards, not backwards. I know from experience. Good luck hun and I hope it works out for you. Let me know if you need anything.

Love and kisses,

Muffy 3
