I am 18 years old almost 19(female) and my ex-boyfriend is 20. My ex-boyfriend and I were dating for six months, and he recently broke up with me because he wanted to focus more on his fraternity. I know that he definitely still has feelings for me and still loves and cares about me. My question is, what can I do on my end to try to make things work? It has been especially hard because we were extremely close and he was my best friend. Now that we have been broken up, we barely talk or see each other. I just want to know how I could increase the chances of us getting back together, without being pitiful.

Maybe deep down he does have feelings for you and still loves you, but right now he would prefer to spend his time being a frat douche bag. That's his choice and his right. Don't wait for him. If he cares about you and loves you ask much as you think he does, eventually you guys will work out anyway. But barely talking or seeing each other is not a good indication of how much strength your relationship has/had in the short term.
My advice would be to move on. He's not interested in a relationship, so you should no longer be interested in a relationship with him. [ Matt's advice column | Ask Matt A Question ]
