missdeathwish Posted October 5, 2007 Share Posted October 5, 2007 Starting a new thread because the situation has changed. For the better, I think... Important thing to know: I met this guy while I was living and working abroad, I just came home, he's still there for three months, then he's comign back to the States. He will be in a different state. Anyway, I broke up with someone when I should have just backed off and given him some quiet time. Chalk it up to inexperience. Now, I got back in touch with him. Yay! Things didn't end well. In my re-establishing contact email, I acknowledged that and took full responsibility. I didn't try to justify my actions or go into specifics, I just told him that the relationship was really special to me, that I was sorry that things ended as they had, and that I was really very sorry that I'd handled them so badly and hurt him. I told him a couple of things that I'd really valued about him, etc. He wrote back and told me that he was "really glad" to have heard from me. He'd thought I was mad at him. He said that I was a special girl and that he'd always enjoyed my company, even when he was grumpy. I wrote back and made some small talk. What I'd like input on is this: I know that right now, a serious relationship is out of the question. However, I want it to be part of the future. What is the best way to handle rebuilding trust and perhaps interest? Gentlemen? Do I talk about the relationship at all? A little bit at a time? A lot at a time? I'm obviously going to wait awhile before I email back (at least until I hear from him) but any other tips? Have a great day, everyone! Link to post Share on other sites
