EX TROUBLE! please help i have asked this question a million times!?
*this is coming from an 8th grader
I was going out with this great guy from July-October. Well, I thought he was great. When we were dating, we genuinely liked each other. We never had a.n.y. problems or fights nothing was wrong. But he dumped me for this other girl. He was the only boyfriend I ever had and I was pretty upset. He dumped the other girl within a month.
Well I have tried to forget him, but it hasnt worked so I still really like him. I know he's a jerk.... but I still really miss him.
I would really like to get back together with him. But theres a million problems. I havent talked to him since we broke up. If I tried talking to him I would totally freak out, I'm pretty sure I would't be able to. I have noooo idea if he likes me or remembers me. He does a pretty good job of ignoring me. As do I. I feel like I am the most desparate ex girlfriend in the world, I don't want to mess anything up and prove it to the world.
My questions are: Is he worth it? What do I have to do to get back together with him? What ways have you successfully gotten your ex back? Have you been in this situation before? What advice would you give me?
PS: if you think hes a jerk, ect you do not need to tell me! I need more advice than that!
thanksf or the great advice so far...
i have new questions
1. what if he is too embarrassed to talk to me... sometimes he awkwardly locks eyes with me in class...
2. how can i meet new guys!

First/Young relationships are the hardest to forget because it's new and you don't know how to deal with it. You think he is the only one for you and I totally understand. When I broke up with my first boyfriend, I wanted him back so badly even though I knew he wasn't good for me.There's like this emotions and built up need to go and see him and take him back. It's consuming. Just like how you're feeling right now.
But here are the facts: He dumped you within a few months and the other girl within a month. But most importantly, he DUMPED you. And then ignored you. Is he worth it? To me, no. He either have severe commitment issues or he just like girl-hopping. Either one, it's hard to change him.
Here's what you need to do(like what I did with my ex). Take a deep breath. Clear you head from the clutter. Take out a piece of paper and write down all his bad things and all his good things and also write down, all the qualities you want from a guy of your dreams. You'll see if he is worth it. Does all his good qualities balances out what he did to you?
Think about this: Why do you think he is ignoring you? He most probably don't care about you? If you get back together, what are the chances he won't do it again? If he doesn't, good for you. If he does, what are you going to do or feel? Is it worth the pain again?
We can't really tell you what to do. Because obviously, the only answer is to forget about the guy and move on but that's your decision. There are other guys out there, guys that are nice and a gentleman and won't dump you for another chick(they do exist!). Trust me, 5 years from now. he'll be the "Oh yeah, that jackass I dated in 8th Grade. I don't even remember his name anymore" guy you tell your friends. Everyone has to go through heartbreak sometime, it's all part of growing up and being a better person. Right now, you need to think about the pros and cons and think about your bigger dreams. Learn to move on(join a club or a class, go out with friends more, throwing out all of his things etc). Be the smarter person and trust me, the future you will be much happier. :)

Ive been exactly where you are and i know how much it sucks right now. I know that you care about him alot and it feels like it's never going to end. But the thing you have to remember is that he broke up with you so there was something in the relationship that may have been working for you but not him. Now before you think something is wrong with you don't your in 8th grade soon to be freshmen in high school so it's normal for a guy to date around. He's ignoring you so that must mean he'd rather not talk to you. I believe if you pursue this it's going to be more hurt for you because it seem he may never want the relationship to start back up. I don't believe he's worth it from what all you have said so i wold try to forget him and move on.

Why would you like to go back with someone who is not only a jerk but dumping guy. The longest you stay with him the worse would be to forget about him. He would do it a thousand time. Beside that you are loosing the good opportunity to meet a real nice guy and you will be stuck there. (My experience) The best advice I would give you is try to get away from him instead of getting back together. You will never know when he will dump you again, beside he knows he can get you any time he wants. He will loose respect, I think you deserve better. Do you want that?

definitely don't get back together. DO NOT DO IT.
look like you said, he's a jerk, in the long run it will be better for you. I know you miss him, but that's normal. Give it time and you will get over him. I really don't think it's worth chasing after a guy that doesn't want you back in the first place. (I'm assuming this from the story.) He was your first boyfriend, so chances are he won't be the last.

Alright listen. You're only in 8th grade and he's not going to be the only guy you will like. Trust me. I thought that too when me and my first boyfriend broke up. If he broke up with you, what's the point in pursuing him? Don't you want him to pursue you instead? That's how you will know if he really likes you. If you're the only one trying to get him back, it won't work out in the end. All it will mean is a one-way love. If he truly likes you, he will try to contact you in any way. Let go and you will see how great it feels to let go of somebody you used to like.. Trying it doesn't hurt. I got back together with my ex but we both realized why we broke up in the beginning. If he left you once for another girl, don't you think he will leave you again in the future?

Start talking to him again if you can and if he keeps ignoring you one day where ever you are and he's there go up to him and ask to speek in priviate if he's with friends or just tell him that you still have feelings for him and ask him why you guys broke up in the first place. Or you can move on take a while and get back in the game and move on.... GOOD LUCK HUN... :)

i'm not sure he s worth it, but its not anyone elses decision, ITS YOURS!! if thats how you feel then you should first talk to him about it and TAKE IT SLOW. remember to just be yourselfand dont be a pretender for anyone. dont rush into things and dont sound really really desperate, u ll freak him out then. yes i ve been in a similar situatuation, but it was my ex that wanted to get back with me, he sounded really desparate and it kinda freaked me out. anyways good luck with it all and remember your just in year 8, you will have PLENTY more opportunities.

You dont need him back... he is at the age where he is turning into a player and testing his waters... u should start dating around and that may get him to want you back but then you should still say no if tha thappens.

i know how you feel , im in eigth grade too. chances are you arent going to marry the person anyway so just forget him. there are so many better guys out there that you arent going to find if you are too hung up on this one guy , that was a jerk to you. you deserve better than him. trust me.

well honey, your in the 8th grade. guys are extremely immature at that age. I know, i was there. If he still likes you, give it time. he'll come around eventually. if not-- there are PLENTY more guys out there who im sure would be more than happy to date you..
