I'm a freshman and I broke up with my boyfriend, now I realize that that was a very stupid move because I still like him. We are friends right now but I want to be more then friends. Another problem that I'm facing is that my mom doesn't want me to date anyone at all anymore. What should I do? Any advice would be helpfull.

A lot of problems come when we open our mouths before engaging our brains. Use what you have, figure these questions out before you say something you will regret before you have an "Oh ya" moment. (Oh, ya, that's why I broke it off with him.)

It could be that she doesn't want to see you get hurt, or that she wants you to concentrate on your studies. If you reassure her that you aren't at risk of falling behind and that you know what you want out of a relationship and feel the benefits outweigh the risks, then she might come round.
As for you're ex, just tell him how you feel. Worst case scenario is that he doesn't feel the same way, but then at least you know. If I were you, I would be prepared to answer questions about why you broke up with him in the first place though, because chances are he'll ask. You might want to ask some of those questions yourself though. -- Are you sure you didn't break up for a reason? It might be that you just miss him, or dont want to see him with someone else. But that's just a part of the healing process.
