    You can't, only he can see it on his own. Before we all try to give you advice, how about you shed some light on the situation. How old are you and why did he break up with you?

    I really wanted that for myself after my "ex" and I split up. You can't "convince" him of what a "great catch" you were... You don't have to give him the satisfaction of "validating" your WORTH! He was just too blind to see it for himself the first time. It's apparent that he just doesn't want the same things you want out of a relationship and you are much better knowing that now than ten years from now. I'm 47 and STILL have these problems with "man boys" who refuse to grow up! Look for a man who is EMOTIONALLY MATURE and won't fall apart when you have a strong desire to "express" your feelings, fears and insecurities. This is the type of man you should be with... not some flaky mama's boy.

    I agree... my post was somewhat negative. Of course, we are all only seeing one side of the situation. Not all men are emotionally immature and my reference was solely intended with the intention of "bringing her up" (ie; You don't have to give him the satisfaction of "validating" your WORTH) not intended to "bring him down..." I apologize and thank you for bringing that to my attention.

    By being the best person you can be, and being happy with who you are. It may not get him back, he may never notice, but you will feel better. I doubt he feels he made a mistake, so what do you base that on?
