I posted before how this girl 'broke up' with me (technically, we had only been dating for a month) about 2 weeks ago. We had a really intense connection while it lasted, and both of us recognized that - and the comedown has been particularly hard for me.

 

Because her reason for breaking up was 'fear of getting hurt', we left on good, friendly terms. The timeline post-'breakup' went something like this:

 

About 4 days after finishing it off, she texts me saying she thought of me. We exchange a few casual texts but that's it. This surprised me, but I didn't seek further communication because I wasn't sure what her game was. Five days after that I get in touch with her via text and she again replies immediately, is friendly, but, again, we don't exchange more than a few casual texts each. No one mentions the 'relationship' or anything about us.

 

A few days after that one of our mutual friends speaks to her and she says she absolutely regrets breaking it off and losing me

(she says we had a great, great time while it lasted) but she was too scared. She also adds that now she is ready to get back on the dating scene and meet someone great as she's cooled off.

 

How to take that? I feel as though I want to let her know I want to perhaps talk to her, or meet her, but I don't want to appear desperate or needy. At the same time, I don't know how she would feel about all this. There is clearly an indication she remembers us very fondly. She did appear very friendly with me after finishing it off, and I am sure there is a level of regret looking back.

 

Has anyone ever gotten back in touch with an ex who dumped them? I feel I want to ask her for a friendly meet. Is that appropriate? What's the best way to just casually let her know I am still interested and not appear desperate? Or should I just let it go?

Call her (not text her), just to say hi.

 

Converse, tell her you've been thinking of her, and see if things grow.
