Update. Did no contact. Now she's so close to coming back. What should i do now?

Hey,

Its been a while since i posted my miserable situation, and now i find myself here again asking for an opinion.Oh, by the way... SPECIAL, SPECIAL thanks goes to foreverzero, i swear i would've died without your help. Anyways, here's last months post of my sad situation.

http://www.askmehelpdesk.com/relatio...how-63990.html

So, after getting dumped over a month ago i decided to go no contact. I decided to go no contact since begging, pleading and crying obviously didnt work anymore. The first day, i felt like someone just shot me and time froze for hours at a time. Didn't feel like eating, thinking, let alone just standing up. Ill be honest, and say that time really made it better.

So two weeks passed, and i decided to contact her. We talked, although she seemed really pissed off at the time. Ignored me for the most part when we went out. I attempted to show her i changed, but i reverted back to "clingy boy" and stupidly asked for her back. She rejected me again, and i was back to stage 1. Feeling extremely pissed off, i packed all her stuff, went to her house the next day, and told her never to call, text, email, or even think about me. I told her that she was dead to me, as i left pissed off.

I thought it was over, but less than half an hour later, i get several missed calls and txt msg's asking me to call her. We talked for the next couple of days, she apologized but stayed firm on her decision. She then changed from "we don't have a chance" to "we have a chance". I told her that i couldn't wait for her forever.

So lately, shes been really nice to me. She's been calling every couple of days. She tells me all the time that she misses me, and wants to be with me. But she also tells me, that she just wants to be friends first and that she wants to take it "slow". She says that the only reason she can't get back together right now, is because she doesnt feel like she has feelings for me and that she's not sure if she likes me. It's hard because she always says "if we get back together we'd do this, we'd do that, blah blah". We also have so much fun when we go out. She admitted that her life has been miserable without me, and that shes jealous that im out there enjoying my life and seeing other girls. She also said that she probably wont find anyone better, and that she misses everything we did.

For a while i thought she was just using me as a security blanket or plan B, but i ruled that out. That's because she keeps encouring me to go see other girls, and since the break up, she rarely even goes out. She' stayed at home, and didnt even talk to friends. Guys have been hitting on her but she turned them all down. She's been avoiding guys from coming close to her since our break up.

I try not to show her that she has control over my heart. I act neutral for the most part. I still make her laugh, flirt with her, and all that. I never bring up and relationship, and for the most part, i try to make myself unavailable, by not picking up every call, and not replying to every text. This helped because, she feels less pressure, and is comfortable to talk to me.

Last night, she almost got back with me. Surprisingly enough, i told her to take her time. She agreed and said that we should take it slow, be friends first before we rush into getting back together. She says that shes just too confused right now. The only thing preventing us from getting back together is the fact that she doesnt know if she still has feelings for me.

So now what? My friends are telling me to keep doing what im doing, and she'll eventually come around. Should i play hard to get, since shes interested? I won't take her back unless shes changed, and unless she WANTS to make it work.

If i act like i dont care, play hard to get, show her i changed, be confident and all that... will she come around? If this does work, does anyone have any advice on "winning" her heart back? What should i do at this point, to maximize my chances of getting her back .

Thanks for reading. Peace out guys.

Concentrate on your own life right now, without her. If you want her back then you need to move on and be happy in yourself.

1) Get a new life direction
2) Start new hobbies
3) meet new people
4) Do play hard to get
5) Be a challenge
6) You be the prize
7) Date other women
8) Be fun :P
9) YOU do not need anyone else to be happy - its mearly desire !!!
10) Don;t be so available ever!

Your flogging a dead horse.

She wants to keep you close so if her other options fail she always has you there.

I wouldnt be bothering with her back and forth antics. Its child's play and in my opinion you are only setting yourself up for more hurt.

Believe it or not, i followed that list and thats how i almost got her back .

Could you elaborate on how i can "be the prize" or how to "play hard to get", or how to be a challenge. What should i do when we talk/see each other.

Anyone?

As of now, she admitted that she doesnt have any other options, and neither does she have interest in other options. She doesnt want to keep me close either. She wants me to go out with other girls, etc.

She said she needs time to figure stuff out, and admits that she does want to be with me. Obviously, if this goes on for too long, then i wont take it. But i feel like she deserves some time to think about what she really wants.

She wants to be with you but she wants space and needs time to figure things out. She wants to be with you but she wants you to go out with other girls.

Is anyone else confused. I am. It appears she is and i think you are to imissher.

If she doesnt want to keep you close then why si she calling you all the time after she dumped you? I think your desperation to have her back is blinding you.

She doesnt want to be pressured to come back with me. And she doesnt want to rush into the relationship just yet. Hopefully, im not blinded. The way i see it, she just needs time to think about it cause i never gave her the space she deserved when we were together.

thnks for the replies

Well its time to give her space then. There are many years left of life yet to meet up again - unless we get run over by a bus hehe

You have a life don't ya ! So you concentrate on that, not your past.

I might be wrong but I think she is more clever than you think. She knows you are still interested deep down and she knows what game you are playing...Its not rocket science.

In fact, you are playing her game more than likely and she wants you as plan B and I think you could be setting yourself up for more pain here.

I think she already senses she has you but she is not letting you know that she knows that and when things go quiet, i.e. you ignore her, she lights the fire again by calling and texting constantly to attract your attention, to relight the flame (so to speak). By responding to what she asked for, i.e.telling her "we should take our time, be friends" you are acknowledging what she originally asked for which is good in a way, but it also lets her know that you are playing along with this so that you can get her back which is not what she wants. She wants to be just friends and keep you close probably as a security blanket. Everything seems to be on her terms and although it might not seem like it, she has control over this situation more than you think.

That said, I am no psychologist and I am no fortune teller either, it is just my honest opinion.

I might be wrong and I hope that things work out good for you. Just make sure you do things for the right reasons.

Jiser agrees: Yes, this is all likely. Please be aware of being sloppy seconds. Let go and don't be there for her anymore, doesn't mean you have to totally emotionally detach but move on ! ;]
talaniman agrees: Will somebody wake this guy up.
