Getting back with my ex ?

Hey everyone,

I don't know why im doing this, but I would really appreciate any comments or advice you may have on my situation. We broke up pretty much two years ago, mainly on my part because I had exam pressure from my parents and myself. Looking back, i guess I wasn't really mature enough to be in a relationship at the time. I tried to stay friends with her, but we never really went out together with friends as such. Recently, about a month ago I talked to her a lot more, texting her and msning her, and gonig out with her and friends. I thought everything was going really well, we talked together about a lot of things, and I felt we still had that spark we used to have. We would occasionally make eye contact with each other, which intensified the feeling that maybe she still had feelings for me, or at least i hoped.

So I decided to ask her out on the same day ( which was a week ago ) i asked her out 2 years ago ( sounds cheesy but it felt right at the time ). She shot me down, but I guess deep down i knew it would go this way. Despite this, I wanted to stay friends with her and hoped things wouldn't get awakward between us. We even went to the Edinbrugh fringe festival yesterday with some friends, and it was a relief there was no awkwardness between us. But even so, during that day I feel as if we still had something. I dont know whether shes just playing with me, or shes just being herself, because i still feel as if we are really close >< If she liked me, then surely she could have said something, or given me some sign that shes interested in me :s-smilie:

You'll always have history but people move on - I'm afraid you'll only be friends.

**** happens. Best thing to do is move on.
When you two broke up the first time. Did you break up with her? Did she break up with you? Or was it a mutual break up?
I'd move on, judging by this she doesn't want to be anymore than friends.

I was just asking because if it was him who broke up with her then she may actually like him but she feels like its a risk not worth taking because she doesnt want to get hurt again. In which case, if he's really loves/likes her, he could try and explain to her that he's matured/hasnt got as much pressure on him/or whatever he feels has changed to make the relationship work this time round.

I haven't read anything but the title, yet I still know my answer will be right: No.
You cant say shizzle happens and just move on. My dad and now married step-mum dated as graduates. Then they broke up and lead completly seperated lives, then 10 years later, my dad had an opportunity to meet her again, which he took and now they've been happily married for 16 years.
