I want him to talk to me!
So, my ex and I broke up last week. It was a weird conversation, because i'm not sure what sparked this, other than me not wanting to constantly reassure him that I want to be with him. I noticed myself that I did hold back a bit - we weren't together for a long time btw - but that reason was because I was scared of being in a relationship again. We had some choice words for another and basically ended it all with that we should delete our numbers.
Now, I can't stand fighting with him or not be able to talk to him. It just have this feeling that doesn't sit well and have to have to be on somewhat OK terms with him. Never had that before. I understand that I miss him and this is recently, but I want him to at least know that I miss him and hate not be able to talk him him. I get that time and space is needed, but seriously.. how long? I sound selfish for saying that I don't want him to move on, nor do I want to myself and I am currently hanging out with a different guy, who I don't want to mislead on me wanting to be with him, when I actually want my ex. I never been in love, nor do I think I am in love with my ex, but I need some advice on how to go around of talking to him again (so that he responds) and how long to wait? of course I don't want to sound desperate. Because I'm not.
Please, only answers that can actually be helpful and not just rude.
