Does NC actually stand a chance at getting someone back at all?

I know its meant for self-healing and has the slight possibility of getting someone back, but based on what im going to type next, it doesnt really make sense to me.

 

I dated a girl for 8 months, we fell in love and everything was great, we were only young 16 to be exact. One day i stopped feeling this way towards her and i could tell she didnt feel the same either. I really didnt want to hurt her so i drew it out for 2 weeks, to the point where we didnt even talk and i finally brought up that we should end it and she was just as relieved as i was. We went our seperate ways and still saw eachother at school, but 1 month later she sends me a massive message telling me about all the good times we had and asking to be best friends again, i didnt really know what to do so i just said yes we could, but it didnt really happen.

 

Now i met another girl a year later, we were also close friends before we started dating, talking to eachother for hours and hours on facebook, exept she had never had a boyfriend before and had never even really gotten intimate with a guy, so it attracted her to me even more for some reason. We started dating and everything seemed fine, then she dumps me out of the blue after 2 months saying she didnt feel the same anymore but i was a really nice guy and would find someone better than her, i just wasnt "the one" and she wanted to be friends still. Exept a week before everything seemed fine. I was shocked and tried to tell her how much i care about her and that i was sorry but she said it couldnt happen.

I read up on forums that going into no contact with her would either help me heal, or bring her back to me. I understand that you shouldnt dwell on the hope that she will come back, but i really want her back so is there any other way.

 

For some reason my ex breaking my heart made me start to think about my first girlfriend, and that we had something a lot more intimate than my latest girlfriend. We went a lot further and she seemed to make lots of sacrifices for me (she wasnt meant to have a boyfriend!) but my latest girlfriend made slim to none. So i dont exactly understand why i cant get over her. But i ended up contacting the first girl i talked about, added her on facebook and just asked her how she was and what shes been up to etc etc. but that was it, i had no intentions of dating her and havent spoken to her again since. Shes pretty much been in no contact with me since she sent me that message, and although i began to miss her, miss the way things were and thought about why we broke up, i didnt want her back. It's just kind of got me thinking if NC is really the right way, i loved my first girlfriend and she loved me, NC didnt bring me back to her. My latest girlfriend, im pretty confident that she didnt "love" me, i dont really know what she though about me, but im guessing it means we have no chance to reconcile. What do you think about it?
