I miss my ex-girlfriend. We broke up at the end of July and I still miss her sooooo much. I asked her if she could ever love me again and she said "There's a chance." I don't know what to do about this. She's single, btw. Thoughts, anybody? We broke up (or, more appropriately, she dumped me) because she didn't think I respected her enough and touched her. I think that issue is resolved now. She left me, I didn't leave her and I was surprised and hurt to say the least when she told me. She told me over the phone, btw. I don't know if there really is a chance or if she's doing the backup thing, stringing me along. I'm 17, a junior in high school. I thought that we were compatible. I told her that I still loved her and she replied, "That's cute." I think this may be a bad sign. Thoughts/suggestions, anybody? Please take the poll!

U gotta start from square one again. Do simple dates and see each other a couple times a week at most to start. If u try to jump back into where u two left off right away, the same things that broke it u before will happen again.

Really not enough info here to make a judgment. Why did you break up? Is that issue resolved now? If not, why do you want her back? Did she leave you, or did you leave her? And is she just saying "there's a chance" to keep you strung along for backup? Are you college-aged? Younger? Older? Are you compatible together, or just physically so?

I'd like to help, but there are too many unknown variables for me to reach a viable hypothesis.

I voted for 'give up, find another girl'... although thats a very harsh way of putting it. I'm just worried that you're going to expend a lot of energy trying to get her back, and if it comes to nothing it could be very painful to you? I know that it's difficult and sometimes seems impossible to stop thinking about these things all the time, you have to try to distract yourself until you forget. Personally if I want to put someone out of my mind I'll take a book with me wherever I go so I can fill my thoughts up with something else.

Early July for me...doomed. It's hard, but let it go. There's a reason why it ended, I'm sure you know why. It's just not meant to be, there will be others, don't kid yourself.

Should I ask her this outright?

When I was that age, I would have said something like "there's a chance" when I really meant "no" and didn't want to hurt the guy's feelings.

My ex-girlfriend has a friend named Aaron who's nineteen. She's sixteen. She feels that he is a bigger brother who is trying to protect her from getting hurt. I say it's bollocks. I think that he is controlling her life. Today I asked her to go to a movie with me tomorrow. She said that Aaron, her "big brother" doesn't want her to go. I don't know how to deal with this. Because ever since she started working with this guy Aaron, she's been really cold to me. Do yall think she's letting him control her life?

A woman turns you down, move onto the next one? Saves you a lot of grief.

It might be possible.

However, I get the impression it doesn't really matter to her and she's passive towards you and your feelings, so you have to wonder yourself if she's actually worth a long time of waiting, doubting and hurting.
