My ex and I broke up about 9 months ago after a year and about 4 months together. The trouble is that I feel he's the one for me and I for him. Our relationship didn't go well due to the fact that he wasn't over his previous ex and both of us ended up moving after a month together. My question is whether or not you guys think that in the future these kinds of things can work out and the two of you end up together again? We've remained friends and get along really well. OUr personalities are extremely compatible, it's just the timing was god-awful the first time around. I'd love to get back together with him at some point even if that's not until the distant future. Should I even broach the subject with him now or simply wait and see what happens? He's moving back so that we'll be in the same state again.I'm afraid that he'll find someone else and I'll lose him forever (he's the type that goes for long very committed relationships). He says that he thinks of me only as a friend and doesn't love me (not to my face, but to others), but I know he would if he could know me without the obstacles. Even if he doesn't, I want to at least know for sure that it's me he doesn't love and not just a girl he can't love because the time isn't right. I know if we tried again and failed I would at least have peace and know that it wasn't meant to be and not just because the timing was wrong. Any info is of much help to me, especially those of you who have been through similar circumstances. Also, what's the best way to broach the subject without pushing him away? I know you're supposed to become unavailable and hard to get with no contact and all that, but I feel that I'll lose him more than I have if I emplo y that tactic. I still love this man and want him in my life in some form. This is not due to desperation, but the true desire to be with him. Thank you all for your input!
