Broke up with grilfriend of 9 years. I am trying to talk to her about giving our relationship a second chance but I think am coming off as being desperate. How should I handle this...Thanks!!

Just ask, keeping it short and sweet

 

"Hey, I think there's still good stuff between us and I'd like to rekindle out relationship. What do you think?

 

Then wait for a response, don't pester them. However, if you've already asked and already look a little desperate, and she knows that you want to rekindle things, you might just have to back off and do nothing and leave the next move with her.

I think you should be clear about where you stand, make that point to her, and then step back and see what she does with it. That article that got linked up there isn't a bad one... there's a couple decent things on that site. Anyway, I think reading it and also keeping yourself mindful of your OWN state of mind will make the big difference. If you are super desperate and worried, that will come off in your interactions, but if you're kind and full of love and all that kind of thing, that will come off in you communication. Maybe it won't work straight away, but she will think of you in a good light, and I think that is half the battle.
