Asking for advice. It's been close to two months since she broke up with me

But I'm still in love with her. I've have tried to date other women but none compare. In my eyes she's honestly just the one. And it hurts to think that she might not feel the same. I never got to know why she broke up with me and I've sort of come to peace with the fact that I might never know.


But. It's been close to two months of no contact, but now we're somehow both on a small, 4 person organizing committee for something. And so we basically have to interact with each other to some extent. I could see her making effort to try to talk to me somehow (or maybe it was all in my head). I want her back but I don't want to chase, since she was the one who broke up with me. So I haven't made it seem like I'm desperate because I have to have some self respect, rn I probably seem uninterested.


What ways can I make her know that the door is still open if she's willing to try?

Stop it all... Two months isn't that long. It took me at least four to reach the point where I felt able to try love again after a break up - and, even then I wasn't properly over it.

You want self respect... by leaving the door open for an ex who walked out on you??? I tried that approach myself - and, by the time that he came back, my life had moved on... which screwed me up emotionally for a while.

The most respectful thing that you can do for yourself is to try and disconnect from her emotionally - at least, that way, you have the chance of actually being able to see how someone else might feel about you.
