I'll be honest friend, I read a few ebooks when I split up with my ex. All of them say the same thing really - get over her but keep her respect, and then ask yourself if you really want to get back with her. So in the end it doesn't really matter whether it works or not, because either way your going to have to get over her.
Basically what all the ebooks i've read say are - get over her, then if it was ment to be, you'll eventually make contact with each other again and possibly things will work out. In other words you may bump into her or she may call you to see how things are going (if you ended on good terms), and you may start dating again. Basically it's like reseting the game, but the difficulty gets changed to hard mode.
