Dude, she is entitled to all the space she wants. You want to be friends now, but she is not ready and I suspect neither are you. You may be the perfect man, but not for her. Move on with your life, keep your fond memories of her, and see what happens in the future.

M2 give up on the relationship and don’t look back! Obviously this gal (M1)doesn’t have the guts to say what she really thinks and perhaps she doesn’t really know what she wants. What ever the case she hasn’t been honest with you. Life is too short begging for someones attention, when there plenty more fish in the sea who will give you the attention and respect.

Being friends does not seem to be practical at this point. You can’t just forget about your past, especially when you were hurt that much.

what is the problem? she isn’t reciprocating at all, afraid you will come running back to her…she knows how you are. i don’t see the problem. she said she wanted to still be friends….all men and women say that to make the break up easier on the other person. Catch some snap, she does not want you in her life.

Mate 1 – If she doesn’t want you, you can’t make her want you. Move on.

Mate 1 – If she doesn’t want you, you can’t make her want you. Move on.

“She broke up with you, and then told her friend she is afraid you will come running back”, sounds like you need to invite the friend to join the both of you.
