Should I ask my ex or is this just normal?
Hello,
Long story short, I dated a girl for 2 months, we were falling for each other. I was falling harder than she was because, apparently, she wasn't over her ex.
She thinks I'm amazing, says so still, but is conflicted so she left and is now, probably dating him. I'm not sure. Plus her self-esteem is iffy and she thought I was too good of a guy for her. We've been apart for over a month now.
Anyway, I have no intention of trying to steal her away from her ex. She knows what it's like to date me and what not. I didn't go crazy begging or pleading or anything, we have had light contact but she feels weird talking to me and, as of a few weeks ago, still likes me but feels bad for what happened.
I am, however, highly confused over what we had while dating. I don't have much experience so I don't know if we had a real connection or there was something missing or what. I keep dwelling on it and I am terrified of putting my heart on the line. Usually it takes me forever to heal.
I have no ill will towards her and we both want to try to be "friends" eventually.
I am wondering if I should contact her and ask if she can talk about it, letting her know I'm not trying to "win her back" or anything. It's just frustrating and making me feel confused.
