Mate, I've just been through something that seems amazingly similar to what you are describing. She was even in my circle of friends too like you, which makes it even more difficult.
Best advice I can give you is play it cool. When you speak don't mention anything about you two as a couple or anything related to that, act as if you are getting on with life and enjoying it. I'm not saying that will bring her back to you, but it will give you the best chance.
Unfortunately when I was dumped I flipped out and acted in the worse way possible. Could I have gotten her back if I'd acted the way I've described to you? I really think so, which is painful for me to say and think about.Lost someone I loved and cared about more than anything in the world.
Miss her every single day.
Yeh i've started to not bother speaking about it to her friends, just going to drop it all completely now. I saw her yesterday at our friends and was absolutely fine with her, in the past when we first split I was a bit of an idiot and let my emotions get in the way which was a bit stupid so I was just normal (or as normal as can be).
She's gone. Blates wants to go to uni and have a laugh with out having to worry about hurting you etc. On the plus side if it doesn't work she'll come running back for sex and stuff but only for that until she does find some one
Yeh I kinda gather this now she's gonna want to go off and have some freedom. Going to just not bother contacting her really, if she wants to speak to me then she knows my phone number. I've said my piece to her, she knows how much I care about her and stuff so not a lot I can do.
I'm missing that closeness though, when you go from seeing someone everday, or nearly everyday, to once every couple weeks it really hits home how lonely you can get.
Been there mate, believe me the best thing you can do is try to be a good friend and not to let it get to you (infront of her at least).
If it's meant to be you'll get back together again.
Yeh I realise this now, not achieving anything by moping about in front of her and our friends lol. Best thing I can do is just let it be, let her get on with whatever she wants to do and me the same, just see each other when we go out and not think about what she's getting up to at Uni.
