AboutTyler Expertise I can answer most questions on all aspects of teenage dating, including sex, the way teens think, breaking up, cheating, first dates, date ideas, dealing with parents, etc... I do not condone teenage sex before the age of sixteen.
The one requirement I have of anyone asking a question is that the question be written in proper English, with no Internet jargon (ur, b4, lol, etc...). If I receive a question with improper English, I will reject the question so you can re-ask in proper English. I'm here to help, but not if it gives me a major headache trying to decipher what you mean. This counts towards proper grammar: you know...paragraphing. I don't want to read a huge block of text.
Experience I'm a teenager myself, and I have been through most, if not all, of the trials and tribulations all teenagers face. I'm the go-to guy for advice in my school. I have the ability to see both the male and female side of the issues.

Question My ex-girlfriend broke up with me last week because of stress from her famiy, academics, school life and needed space. I of course felt heart-brokened and shocked about the situation. I feel a little better now since a week of time kind of healed my heart. Few days later, she texted me how am I doing and had a casual friendly texting conversation almost everyday. Things were good and I thought I was making the transition of "getting over her". But recently I met her at the hospital where we both volunteered once a week and when I first saw her since break up. All my feelings for her rushed back in me. It was kind of hard because the way she looked at me and approached me was different before. Obviously I'm not over with her and really want her to come back. I was thinking about being friends and texting her everyday was not a good approach which stirs more memories. I was about to go ask her out for a friendly date to a movie but I believe now it is too early dont you think? I read an article that told me to stop texting, contacting her too often, move on and see if there is a chance where she show signs where she misses me and then make my move. My goal is to be friends with her and improve my chance on creating a new relationship I'm not sure anymore and confused. What would you do if you were in my shoes? Thanks!
Answer Jay,
I highly recommend you follow that article. The first part of healing is to cut off as much contact as possible with your ex-girlfriend, so memories of her won't keep flooding back. The body wants comfort. Your ex-girlfriend was a source of comfort. That's not acceptable, so you need to move on.
Give it a little while, and then attempt to be friends. It all depends on your ability to move on.
