Q: I've finally decided to get over my ex girlfriend after being completely devastated over her dumping me for 6 months. I tried being just friends with her, but that didn't work. What made me decide to get over her was the fact she got a new boyfriend. I cut off all contact. I blocked her on my AIM buddylist then deleted her so I wouldn't see the love you for him in her profile, and the i love you's in her aways. I deleted her myspace so I will no longer have to see her picture. It's been 2 weeks with not a single word between us. She's in my gym class and I just stay away from her.

I'm sure she's noticed by now. I do feel so much better now, but I don't want this to be the complete end of us. I don't want us to never talk again, but I'm afraid if we make any contact whatsoever any progress I made will just go to waste, and I'll be missing her again. I'd like for us to someday be friends, but I don't know how long I should wait before I try that or if I even should try. She was a good friend before going out and even for a short time after we broke up. I'm not sure how I should approach this.

Can anyone help?
Congrats on two weeks! No seriously, seems like a short time but it's really not. I think you should wait a year or two before talking to her again. That way, you would have clearly moved on and you just dont have any feelings for her. If you wait less than a year, feelings for her will probably come back just because you havent had the time to fully get over her. All you need is time. A year or two seems like a long time, it is...but get yourself busy with new girls, school, whatever and time will fly. Then after a while you can just drop by and say "Hey, haven't talked to you in a while...how's life?". I totally understand what your going through though. If I ever talked to my ex-obsession, I would be hooked in like one minute just because it hasint been that long. And sometimes old friends never become friends again, thats life. So dont be sad if you arent friends anymore. You might want to be friends with her now, but later on..you might be like "What was I thinking? I'm so over her" =) Good luck, hopefully I helped.

Thanks for the advice. I'll continue with what I'm doing, but I think a year is a really long time. I'm just taking it one day at a time, I'll deffinetly wait some time before I make any contact though.
