Tips on the next step?

Hey community!

I'm new, and at a loss. I've just been involved in a recent break-up that left on absolutely great terms. But I'm having the toughest time dealing with this one, because this is the first time I've ever felt like I wanted her back.

The gist was this - we had a great relationship for over a year, and just a month and a half ago, things were great until she started hanging out with a new group. The group was initially for school purposes, as she had been assigned to a group of 3 others for her accounting course. This was a month and a half ago. Their projects initially started at school, then gradually eventually led to eachother's houses. And then started a completely platonic friendship bond.

 

This is when things with her and I went a little downhill. She suddenly stopped wanting to talk to me, and always wanted to hang out with this new social group. I thought it was okay for a bit because she was never the type to be able to make friends easily and I thought this was her first chance to actually get some friendships going at the post-secondary level since she had none. However, this friendship circle started to do everything together, going to bars, clubs, etc. (I forgot to mention the group is 2 male, 2 female). Eventually I started getting slightly jealous because she'd start being vague about where she was going, and spontaneously plan out of town trips with them. And then things weren't working out so we dicided to take a small break, and wade things out. Even during this time, she kept hanging out with this group even till the early AM's (4-5) and wouldn't even bother texting me much while with them. I told her I was bothered by this (because I knew both guys in the group liked her). And she told me not to worry because she still loved me.

 

So after much concern, we met up because I really wanted to talk and this is when we broke things off. She says that she was just busy, and whatnot, but she still loves me, and hopes that one day in the future we can go steady again. After this meet up. I planned one a few days later, because she was still texting me and I wanted answers as to why two people in love broke up. She admitted that she started losing feelings for me and it was even before the group, but even she wanted to hold on to what we had.

 

This is the first time I want somebody back, and I don't know whether or not I should, or not. And I'm sure what to do at all.

I still have extremely strong feelings toward her, and I'm not even sure how to guage her interest level towards me at all. I know there was NO foul play in the relation (in regards to dishonesty, and cheating). And up until our break up. I'm still pretty sure (not 100% sure anymore) that she hasn't been on an intimate level with anybody else in her social group.

 

Should I try to get back for her? If so, what's an approach? I'm currently still trying to contact her, and talking to her somewhat, and it's been even harder to try to keep a platonic relationship with her because of the strong feelings I have toward her. I just need to know what to do, and I'm unsure of what to do, and don't want to do anything rash because

I've almost made up my mind with No Contact. I'm not sure that'd be super great in this situation as there was a mutual separation, not a dumper.
