ow do i get back my ex-girlfriend? She respected me enough to talk about it in person. She sed she loves me as a friend, and isnt in love with me, what should i do? i would like her back, but i dont know how to go about it.... We broke up yesterday, how long should i wait before i text her? She made it clear she wants to be friends, but its up to me if i want to, depending on how i feel..

Ive heard alot of good znswers from others in other answers for example. Some couples, despite not going out anymore, still do things together and cuddle like as if they were still in a relationship..

What should i do??

I would not contact her yet give it a couple of days its up to you she just broke up with you there is always hope she might want you back its not impossible it can happen but always rember too that she might not want you back and this is for real she said she wants to be your friend now thats hard to say yes stay her friend or not but rember being her friend maybe a good thing and maybe it might bring back the feelings she once had for you but on the other being her friend may make things worse she might find somebody else etc how you gonna cope with that? Sometimes its better to get out of somebodys life to heal and get over things also not contacting her and just being patient she might start missing you and maybe she reget breaking up with you and might want you back it happens now this break up will give you time to think about what might of happen for there to be a break up in the first place and if you got back together what things can you both do make it work so it doesnt happen again sometimes people lose love and there is nothing you can do about it its a part of life but if you dont get back together try to find away to move on there are plenty of more fish in the sea luck i hope everything works out in the end for you let us know if you get back together or not it will be interesting to know if u wanna let us know take care

Samantha x agony auntIf you only broke up yesterday, I think it is way too soon to start texting her and asking her to come back to you. She might feel like you are harrassing her, and this might make her think twice about remaining friends with you.

Would you be happy being friends with her? If so, then I suggest giving things a little bit of time first to settle.

But if you can't just be friends with her, then it might be best to be honest and tell her, and try and move on. If she doesn't want to be in a relationship, then there is little else you can do. x

guillaume  agony auntHi,

Well I'm afraid the reality is...."friend." She may be politely letting you down whatever.

Your only real chance is not to be her friend. Don't settle for less than you want. You want her as a girlfriend so don't settle for friends. That will not happen if she meets a new interest.

So, my advice to you is to message her and politely state that you can't be her friend as you won't settle for less than what you have had. Then leave it at that.

Take care, G.

Ginalolabridga agony auntIf she is not in love with you then all you can be to her for now is a friend, i would leave it a week or so then contact her saying you miss her friendship, company etc: and can you not just remain friends that way she is not under any pressure from you in regards to pursuing your relationship again, as with all break ups people need time to get their head around this so you also take time for you this week and be good to you too!
