Any successes getting her/him back after being "friends" after the breakup??

[question]

I've read so many threads about NC and how this is the best way to go. However a lot of relationship reading I've done suggests things like focusing on rebuilding the friendship ...

 

I've recently been dumped by her after 1.5 years .. have been in LC ever since. I would like to hear of success stories of people who have retrieved a lover by building upon platonic love after being romantically involved.

 

FYI - she (27) said she needed "space"/"time" and wanted to date other people

(she never took action on that, and even now months after the breakup she is single. she is HOT and has many admirers so its not like she doesn't have the chance)

 

Technically I (30) broke up for obvious reasons .. and she was upset when I did, but probably not more than me. another question: am I the dumper or dumpee. What rules apply?

How long have you guys been friends?

I am in a very similar situation right now...

 

All I can suggest is that there is nothing YOU can do to make this work. You just have to be patient, friendly, and honest.

 

Dont try to chat her up.

 

Dont look jealous over her talking to or seeing other guys.

 

Make her see how much of a catch you are.

 

I'll be folowing this post for ideas of my own.
