Well thank you guys here is what I will do. I will not contact her and wait for her to contact me. I will act confident around her. Is there anything I am missing ?

[kctiger]

Nope. Just do that. If you think of breaking NC, after your push ups come on here and we will talk sense into you. Certain folks here are good at doing that. Welcome to AMHD

You sound like your starting on the right foot.

Remember if she does contact you, do not read too much into it. She will probably be wanting to see if you are still waiting for her. Don't let her think that. You need to be actively attempting to move on from this. Don't let her attempts at contact give you false hope of reconciling in the future, because chances are it's not happening.

Welcome aboard mate! Sadly this is a forum no one wants to join for the reasons they do.

NC is the way to go, don't call, write or any type of contact. You can't do any more harm if you don't contact her as she asked for space. Give the girl what she wants.

The first 24hr is almost up and it felt like 3 years I saw her at work today I smiled and waved and she did the same with a smile through and awkward face.

I sent a text to my ex as well telling him I loved him and I wasn't going to give up. Bad idea, it pushed him away even more. I was almost getting somewhere with him after we broke up but you, that text didn't work out too good for me...

Make sure you cut off all ties between you two and don't stay friends. You'll be able to heal a lot quicker this way. Keep conversations professional since NC is almost impossible with work. I'm going through something similar which is why I made sure I only took shifts when the ex wasn't working. Biggest difference between us was that my ex cheated on me so that saved me from a lot of false hope. Don't wait for her, learn to live without her love and for yourself.

Sorry for your loss Lonelyguy, you had your first relationship, and your first break up. Listen to these posters and read their stories, and the stickies at the beginning of this forum, and you will see this happens to all of us at one time, or another so don't feel its just you. Take a few good suggestions and you will see over time, it gets better.

Then you'll be ready for the second relationship, and..!
