Hello all, I recently broke up with my girlfriend (like a week ago) due to the fact that we were in a long distance relationship and she was in uni so she had little time to skype, and it has become so complicated. At first my ex was really sad, and replied to my text petty quickly (i had not read about the 5 steps then), I know we both miss each other then. After I requested to go back together, I pleaded and begged and cried as I did so. After that she stopped replying to my texts and told me she sees me as family, rather than her bf, and requested that we take some time to calm down first. We cleared things up today when I apologized for my actions telling her my pleading and begging was immature. She told me to work hard and achieve decent grades, and admits that she values me very much, and hopes that in the future there will be time to talk about the beautiful memories we made. Our conversation is still going, should I stop now and initiate no contact, or should I finish the conversation first then initiate no contact? And after that if she doesn’t contact me should I make contact first? If I meet up how am I suppose to re attract a person who sees me as family? Are there any tips and tricks up you guys’ sleeves?
