ssmith3427 Posted July 10, 2012 Posted July 10, 2012 Just wondered how long on average a girl will wait to contact you after a breakup. My ex knows I loved her to bits, she does care about me, but likely wount contact me for a while because she probably does want me to heal, and us talking would be hard for both involved right now. So yeah I just wondered how long a girl will on average wait to get back in touch with an ex? Not to get back together, but just to chat, or even enquire.
AlexanderJames Posted July 10, 2012 Posted July 10, 2012 Contacts you to what means? To make friends or check up on how you are could be a matter of days. Depending on how guilty or lonely or sad they're feeling. If your talking about the ex coming back to you that depends on whether you were the dumper or dumpee? People say on average between 6 - 12 months for the dumper to come back to the dumpee. Seems to be true from my personal experience. 2 serious ex's that dumped me came back at 5 months and the other at 6. And I dumped a girl and tried to get her back at the 6 month mark. Depends how long it takes the dumper to get over the thrill and novelty of being single wears off..

AlexanderJames Posted July 10, 2012 Posted July 10, 2012 Not from my experience. There was lots of hey how are you? Hope your doing well, I miss you, this happened today and it made me think of you. It was around the 6 - 12 month mark that they, and myself in one instance, admitted to still having feelings and regretting dumping the person. I think it's because after we have had enough being single and partying we feel like its easier to chase up someone who we have already spent the time building up a relationship with that to put yourself out there and meeting new people and starting from scratch. I don't think we miss the person so much as we do the companionship when we go chasing an ex. It's just less daunting going back to something familiar.
AlexanderJames Posted July 10, 2012 Posted July 10, 2012 Didn't even properly answer the question derp. No there was usually instances of catching up and talking and all that in between.
