Q: I'm fifteeen and a girl [:
me and this guy were going out for about a two years. we broke up in march of 07. ive been talking to him lately through texting and aim. everytime i talk to him i get the same feeling i used to when we were going out and he makes me feel alive. i know that sounds corny, but its amazing how much of a little girl i become around him. i can say stupid things no one else would get and we can practically predict what one other is gonna say. i honestly dont think me and him are done. i know one day we will get back together, and hopefully soon. theres a dance comming up at my school in febuary and I'm thinking about asking him. I dont hangout with him alot. more like i never hangout with him, and when i do it's pretty awkward. neither of us know what to say to eachother in person and i obvouisly want that to change. I think asking him to the dance would give us a chance to become not awkward around eachother and maybe give us another chance. Should i go for it or play it safe? any other suggestions? thankss! [:

Without knowing the reason you two broke up in the first place, I'm assuming he's a good guy. If the reason for breaking up was severe, like he was cheating on you, I wouldn't give it a second chance. But because you didn't mention it I would definitely ask him to the dance.

You seem like you are ready to try and work things out between you and him. The qualities and characters that he brings out in you are good. I think that your intention of getting back together is a good idea. Initially you've done it right. By giving yourself a break for months you've realized that this guy was the best you had. If he makes you that happy, you deserve to try this out again. The only problem is finding out how he feels about you and what he thinks of getting back together.

I wouldn't come right out and say it because you might scare him off. It's like telling a boyfriend you love him within two days. Start of slow. Continue to make small talk and gradually work your way up. Conversation is key in building up relationships in any cause. At some point you could say something along the lines of what you miss. Perhaps it's the way he protected you or the way he comforted you. Or you could bring up a funny memory when you were going out with him. And then invite him to that dance! This way you're not coming straight out and saying "Let's get back together". He should get the message sooner or later.

When you do get back together I would make sure to have boundaries. You don't want to rush into things. Make sure he's aware of what you want to be different in this relationship that was in the last. And if he has some input make sure you listen!

Good luck!

bio

I'm back! 6 years on this site and counting! Let yourself be known for something. It may not be perfect but imperfections are so much more interesting and fun!

I'm well known from my high interest in people. I thrive off helping others.

A lot of people say they have been through a lot. And well, this is true for almost everyone, including me. Rather than let past harm me I embrace what I've dealt with and use it to my advantage in the future.

I'm 20. Turning 21 soon enough. Been there, done that but cetainly have much more to learn. No, I do not know everything and I wouldn't claim. I do know that I am dedicated, educated, generous, motivated, and ambitious. I give all my time and heart into each answer.

I specialize in art, education, communication, psychology, massage therapy, health, travel and destinations.

I know information regarding school, college, abuse, neglect, personalities, relationships, friendships, little bit of info on cars, licit and illicit behaviors and or subjects. But I will be willing to answer anything!
