Question Posted Wednesday December 23 2009, 3:18 pm
I was with my boyfriend for 8 months almost to the day when I broke up with him. My first few months of college had really stressed me out and the little things started to get to me and I pushed myself away from him and we ended up getting in a huge fight and I told him I didn't love him as much as I used to which wasn't true at all it was just something I said in the heat of the moment. We broke up and it destroyed him. I regretted it as soon as it happened but he was too angry to talk to me. He got a new girlfriend after a week but it was just for the physical benefits. We broke up in early October and started texting again around the middle of November and I told him I wanted to get back together but he'd tell me that I broke his heart and he doesn't give second chances. I didn't bring up the topic again until he texted me one day a couple weeks ago telling me that he wrote a song about me and he wanted me to hear it when I came home for Christmas, I brought up getting back together and he said we'd talk about it when I got home. I fought for us more than I've fought for anything in my life.
We've been together for about a week now. The first few days were a little rocky. He was still sorta depressed about the break up and he was worried about getting hurt again and the fact that he was worried about our relationship made me worried but we're past that now for the most part. We both agreed that we should do something together to bring back good memories but most of our relationship was over the summer and now that there's snow on the ground its kind of hard to do the same things.
So I guess I need date ideas, or just things to do. We don't have many places to go where we live.
Next I want to do something that really shows how much I love him. I feel like after the break up he doesn't feel like I love him as much but I really do so I want to do something for him.
I need ideas! I've never gotten back with an ex before.
So, you're wanting to prove your love to him and show him you were an ass and made a mistake. Happens. I've done it.
Think of somewhere you two had a special moment. A kiss in a garage, etc. Little moments are the best. Then grab some candles, music, a simple yet delicious dinner (go for his favorite) and set it up wherever you can think of that's adorable... a bedroom is always fun too, with all the lights out.
Other ideas, recreate the moments you had outside inside... This sounds lame but it's totally cute and he'll think you're adorable. So if you two had like a date of playing football or something in a field, grab a lot of green paper, make some quick fake grass on your dining table and challenge him to paper football. Or... ya know. Go with it and make it a project. It's a lot of fun.
The important thing isn't how epic the date is, but what it reminds him of. Like if it were me and my current guy, I'd have to find a way to recreate walking around an outdoor mall in the rain, so I'd incorporate the shower and probably some finger paints to make store fronts on the wall. It would be cute and you know it.
