Anonymous 123 agony auntNope, dont give him that kind of importance. Why did he tell you to "try" things in 2012? Its like he's telling you, "I'm giving you a chance, lets see how you are".

Dont make yourself too available for him. You'll just come across as needy and desperate and the more that happens, the more he'll think he can treat you like dirt

sarcy24 agony auntNo please don't text. Let him do the running. It might be a nice thing to do but it may look to him like you are desperate and needy and all girls know men don't like desperate and needy! Wait for him to get in touch with you because if he still wants you and wants to get back with you he will.

CindyCares agony auntI would not text him at all.

Not to act standoffish, but precisely because he said you could try again in 2012. 2012 has got 12 months, give him time.

If you text him first minute of the new year, you'll look so keen that you'll scare him off even if he meant it- and in case he did not mean it at all but was just letting you down easy, ( alas, that's a possibility ) well, you don't want to give him the satisfaction of showing him you are desperate to get him back .

chigirl agony auntNo, don't text at midnight. You're coming on too strongly, and he'll back off. Let him wait a bit, don't let him believe he is on your mind 24/7.

A reader, anonymous, writes (31 December 2011):

I wouldn't. Because try something in the New Year is such a vague statement that if we hit the guy translation button to women speak- he's not interested and said that to keep options open for himself but hasn't committed a thing. He said it to keep your hopes up but wasn't sincere about it. It was self motivated where he stands to benefit when he wants and could care less about what you think and feel.

A guy who was truly interested would have said, text me on NYE, maybe we could meet up.

I wouldn't text him at midnight, don't let him think he is your only option and all your thinking about.Midnight messages are for those closest to us.

Maybe you should wait till the 1st,in the afternoon and just text wishing him a happy new year and hope he had a good night....Unless you meet somebody tonight and forget him!

A female reader, Abella United States +, writes (31 December 2011):

Abella agony auntabsolutely! That is a lovely idea. Keep it light.

And text him about 10 minutes before midnight so he gets the opportunity to text you back before midnight.

Does he have a nickname that you gave him? if yes, then use it as that is something special between you.

Maybe tell him what you are doing - especially if watching fireworks with family or friends.

Or where you are

And tell him you are looking forward to 2012 - he will 'get' that message :) So you do not have to spell it out.

Eg:

sitting on pier with friends watching fireworks

Looking fwd to 2012

wish you were here :)

Hope 2012 is really great for you

xTheAlmightyDuckx agony auntTbh, new years is all about a new start and a clean slate, and doing something like this isn't just rather romantic but quite a good idea too.

However, you haven't been talking for too long ovbiously you have to take that into consideration. He could take this text the wrong way or maybe it could scare him off, and you wouldn't want to enter 2012 without this friend of yours?

So you must ask yourself qeustions and think about things like the way he acts towards you? are his texts ever flirtasous? do you have a feeling he feels the same way about you?

If you feel like you really want to get this off your chest then go for it! As it could just make you feel better and give you an opportunity to start again.

Oh yeah and one last thing! i take it your based in the UK, and it will be hard to get through if your sending a text at midnight as networks will be jam packed. So maybe send it a couple of minutes before hand.
