Broke up, need some advice
Hello everyone, I've ran into a weird situation and I need some advice.
So, I've been with this girl for few months until we broke up few days ago. She initiated the break-up, but let me tell you the story behind it.. We started off very nice, both liked each other very much and shared several fun activities which I'm pretty sure both of us will remember. That was on summer vacation, btw. After that, I started having deep thoughts about how much I really want her. Sometimes I felt like I want her so much, while other times it felt like she's not the one for me. I bet this started when I realised she's probably too much into me and it kinda drove me away. Unconsciously, this led me to be a more boring person around her and drove the relationship into a boring routine. Lately, I've been thinking of the reasons I liked her in the first place and realised that even if sometimes I just don't feel "in love" with her I really value her and still think she's one of the best girlfriends I've ever had. That's when I decided I should genuinely try and make things better and see if it works out. At the time though, she also started being colder around me until she actually said it to me: "Things have become boring between us, I don't think this is going to change, so we probably need to break up". I was pretty shocked, because that whole time I was used to being the one chased by her, and the fact that our timing was so bad since I had decided to give it last good go.. I told her it's not about the problems we have, because those I'm prepared to work for, but the real deal is if she still finds me attractive as a man. She told me she doesn't see me as a friend, but she's not that into me anymore. That's the end, I thought, perhaps for the better. At least I didn't break up with her when she really liked me and didn't hurt her feelings. But now I kinda feel like I want to get back with her.. I know it could just be the feeling of loss or that I just want to go back and fix things - we men kind of always feel like that. But I think I'm now starting to realise that I do have feelings for her. Is it too late to try and get her attention back? I'm pretty sure she still cares about me and all, but I've lost her sexual attraction and I'm not sure I can do anything about it. I do need some time to think for myself and make sure I want her and it's not just my ego, but what about sending her a nice friendly text in a month from now on her birthday? I think I will anyway, be it trying to get back with her or not, but how would it be received? And how could I get her to think of me again as a possible sexual partner if I actually make a genuine effort to make it better this time? I don't want to come off as needy, because I clearly am not, but this girl is pretty special and I don't want to let go just yet without giving it my full. Any advice?
