Should I contact my ex or wait for her to initiate communication?

Question - (7 September 2010) 2 Answers - (Newest, 7 September 2010)
A male United States age 36-40, anonymous writes:

I broke up with my ex girlfriend 5 and a half months ago. Realized I was an idiot, tried to get her back immediately but she started dating someone new and didn't want me back. I haven't spoken a word to her in about 2 and a half months, and I still have strong feelings for her and feel like things have been put in perspective for me and I'm ready to commit to her.

So the question... should I contact her again and let her know how I feel? I tried this shortly after we broke up but feel like I hurt her and it was too quick, and I can't help but feel she may reconsider now time has passed. But on the other hand, she started dating someone new and made it clear she was moving on at that time... so maybe I should as well and let her come back to me if she chooses to?

Confused... advice appreciated!

tennisstar88 agony auntI'll tell you right now she's not going to initiate contact with you. Women don't often want to cross that line because it can get really gray..We don't know what your thinking if you want to give us a shot again, do I want to get rejected, or is there nothing there anymore and I just look like an idiot. All that is running through our head so it's just best not to look back at times. Time has passed and sure she's dating someone new but he's most likely her rebound nothing serious. Take a stab at it, lay out how you feel now, that you believe something good can come of this situation, and ask if you could start over. It's a miracle if a man can realize that he was wrong and take responsibility for his actions. Hopefully, she will pick up on your sincerity and take you back! You have nothing left to lose.
