Long story short: my gf and I broke up in Sept and I have been trying to win her back ever since. We text back and forth a lot, and see each other from time to time. On Christmas eve I received a text message that ended with the following sentence.

 

"You make me feel safe, secure and the person I always wanted to be and my head rests on your heart"

 

My dumb ass make question of the day is what does it mean that her head rests on my heart? Does it mean she, um, loves me maybe? Or is a subtle deflect

"You are my gay boyfriend. I can tell you I love you, and you know that I don't mean it that way!"

 

Give up this pointless quest. Life is too short to let any of it pass you by.

Unless I am missing something, this seems like a super bitter reading? What the heck?

Ok, change of course, without reading anything into it, can somebody please just give me a literal explanation of that line?

I suppose it's contextual. My girlfriend often rests her head on my chest at night and says "I like hearing your heartbeat." I suppose that's the most literal interpretation of your quote.

 

For anything other than the literal meaning of someone's head resting on someone else's chest, I suppose more information is needed.

Well, yeah, I guess literal wasn't what I was going for. The prior sentence was, "you make me feel like the dainty princess girl I always wanted to be and my head rests upon your heart"

She would love this:

 

 

I carry you in my heart

 

i carry your heart with me (i carry it in

my heart) i am never without it (anywhere

i go you go, my dear; and whatever is done

by only me is your doing, my darling)

i fear

no fate (for you are my fate, my sweet) i want

no world (for beautiful you are my world, my true)

and it's you are whatever a moon has always meant

and whatever a sun will always sing is you

 

 

here is the deepest secret nobody knows

(here is the root of the root and the bud of the bud

and the sky of the sky of a tree called life; which grows

higher than the soul can hope or mind can hide)

and this is the wonder that's keeping the stars apart

 

 

i carry your heart (i carry it in my heart)

 

- EE Cummings

 

 

Take care.

That's beautiful, but would you mind dumbing down what she wrote to me about her heart resting upon my chest? I'm not exactly poetically inclined

I think it means that she feels your love, and it gives her peace.

I think she means that you make her feel feminine. It's a good thing.

How are we supposed to know what kind of word acrobatics your GF is pulling?

 

Here are some phrases that people use when they want a relationship with somebody:

 

  • I love you, I want to be with you for the rest of my life
  • Let's put this nonsense behind us, we belong together
  • Let's end this break. I've come to realize that I need you in my life.
  • You're the best thing that's happened to me, I can't be without you and I want to be in a relationship with you again.
  • I'm glad we've overcome our problems, I think we should get back together now.
  • I realized I made a mistake breaking up with you. I now see that I completely misunderstood you. Want to try again?

 

What your ex texted doesn't sound like any of the above, I assume it's because she doesn't mean to say any of the above?

reads to me as

 

I'm comfortable telling you about my worries, weaknesses, fears and problems

 

It's not per se a bad thing, but it's not what you want it to be. As soon as she finds someone that makes her tingly she will likely not have a lot of time for you. In fact it might be quite upsetting suddenly realizing that you were good enough to listen to her woes while she was single and when she's better things to do returning the favor is not her highest priority.

The above post is spot on. Unless she is actively trying to date you again---that means calling you up and asking to go out, just so we're clear---all she's saying is you are a friend who makes her feel comfortable and safe.

I'm just trying to save you the time but it seems you won't get the message even after many posters told you

 

I understand you have hope and want to hear hope but she's probably checked out mentally and I assure you if she wants to be with you , you will be the first to find out

 

Don't invest more time into this, I did this before just move on

A literal meaning is that you are someone she is comfortable sharing personal issues with. Nothing more, nothing less.

 

Giving a deeper explanation of this would require reading into it.

Since you are no longer in a romantic relationship it means you will make a great friend. Not something you want to hear from an ex that you still have romantic feelings for.

It may mean she thinks you are sweet and she can share with you, that she loves you but is not in love with you.

 

But only she knows what she means. You could ask her.

 

I would not try to get her back. Let her try to get you back instead.
