how do i win over his affection?
My boyfriend = 24, will be 25 in April
Me = 19, will be 20 in April
My boyfriend broke up with me today because he said that he feels like I put too much investment in the relationship and he wasn't putting in enough, and I got too emotionally attached to him. I really like this guy, and I know that it sounds lame to want an ex back and these are feelings that I'm going to feel on the same day as our break up anyway. I know that I spent alot of time dwelling on my past relationships and was often insecure. He also didn't want to dick me around by acting like we were the perfect match when we weren't.
We weren't dating for long, only about a month but he was a really great guy. He was definitely the kind of guy that I've been looking for a really long time now, he's dark, tall and handsome in my opinion, he took really good care of me, he's funny, smart, and a wonderful person.
I know that I have to work on myself a lot more if I want to be the kind of girl that a guy wants to date, by getting a job and a drivers license, and learning how to let go of my painful past with guys.
He wants to be friends but at this point he doesn't think that we could be anything more. How do I win over his affection and make him see that we can have something together? I know that mentioning our relationship over and over again is definitely not going to work out in a good way.

How do I win over his affection and make him see that we can have something together?
It really is that simple. You can't even begin the discussion of the second part, until you've handled the first part.
Accept his friendship graciously, and work on improving yourself. Put a relationship, any relationship, out of your mind for a long while.
