Okay first of all never forget to do what's BEST for you. The best saying that I have ever heard is this. If you love something let it go if it comes back it was your to begin with if not a lesson learned. My high school sweetheart was a senior and I was a freshman . He went off to college my sophmore year. We dated for two years and then we deceided it was best for us to split. It was a strugle, but I did it. Now after six years we are back in touch with we're not together, but who knows what the future holds

Why did you guys break up in the first place.  Why not take him back.  For a man to swallow his pride and come begging is a lot of guts.

Honey - you said it all already - you knew he wasnt right for you.  Sounds like you are just lonely now and your current relationship might not be the right one for you as a marriage.  Its too late now, and no matter how much you might want to - you cant go back in time and change things.  And truthfully, you probably really wouldnt want to.  Whatever made you break up with him, it would have gotten worse.  Chin up dear girl, plenty of fish in the sea :)

I don't know. But why would you take him back? It's only because it's recent. It's called a break-up because it's broken.

It depends on why you broke up.  Did you break up with her or her with you?  Was there infidelity involved?\n\nUnfortunately I do not have enough info from your question to help you, other than the regular - Send flowers.... I made a mistake... Beg...etc

dump him. Trust me, if this has been going on for 3 years, he is taking advantage of you and most likely will not change. Plus you have to ask yourself if he even really cares about you if he is selfish enough to not help you at all.

If you love the guy, you will definitely get hurt. But I think it's a good thing that he broke up with you because you don't deserve someone who doesn't know how to love unconditionally. Find someone that will love and accept you for who you are.

It sounds like you might be the reason that he and his girlfriend broke up.  You might as well go for it.  From your question I would say that you are young, and you only get to be young once so you might as well enjoy it.

OMG yea! His name is Luis, he was the cuttest! we wwere only 12 years old!he treated me like a princess even though i was so harsh on him. Finally we had to break up cuz i moved to a totally different continent. It's been like 6 years and now and then we still talk to each other! I stil wonder if he's the "one"

I've been in your shoes and I've been in the opposite side of your shoes. Clearly, like previously stated, this man does not know what he wants. Do you really think it's possible for a man to break up with you and change all those feelings of romance into friendship in just three days?!? He's just lonely and trying to fill the void (platoniclly, sexually, who knows), and he's probably unaware that your heart is at stake. If you want to be "friends" with someone after you've dated them, break up for real, cut contact, go about your life normally again, see other people, wait AT LEAST 3 months (maybe more), then see how you feel. A few years ago I had a gf and we went back and forth with the break-up/friend thing, and looking back it was such a waste of time. We ended up breaking up for good and we don't talk anymore. Now life is good. I have found another great girl and I don't need to be friends with my ex. After two years we've never done the break-up back and forth thing.\n\nGo after the one you love, don't waste your time and energy trying to decide if this confused guy is for you - he's obviously not. Your heart, future, family, etc. is too valuable.

my advice. Keep it broken off. dont just forget what happened and why you broke up...it happened for a reason. FInd someone else that you want to be with. Please dont get into the make up/break up cycle. It really sucks!!!

Move on is the best answer. You broke up for a reason. Always remmeber that reason.

Well first I'm curious why u broke up with him. If it was because he was cheating then he really isn't worth it.\n\nIf its something else, try approaching him as a friend and get an idea of how he feels about you. Work from there.

You should be thankful that you are no longer with this jerk and find someone that is better suited for you.  Your ex sounds like a mindless idiot to me.  I mean, sure I listen to my friends input on a person I am dating to some extent, but in the end I would never break up with someone because my friend said to do it.  You need someone that can stand up and say "This is my girl!" with pride and respect for you!  Don't settle!  We all deserve better than that.

Why did you break up in the first place?  Talk to him and tell him how you feel.  He may just be feeling the same way about you.  Don't stay quiet.

His feelings are hurt.  He probably still likes you and realizes he made a mistake breaking up with you.  Give him some time.

I realize that it may be really hard right now but I hope you realize how valuable you are yourself and that you will take care of you during this time. You may or may not\nget the full answer as to why he broke up with you.  I had\na boyfriend in high school that everyone swore or thought\nwe would surely get married and we ended breaking up and we had been dating over a two year period.  Give him his space and see what happens.  Be good to yourself in the meantime.  If you were good to him and know that in your heart  of hearts you gave your best thats all that anyone can ask.  He may have some things he needs to work out.
