My ex and I broke up seven years ago. We were young and just not that committed to each other. We both after the breakup messed aroung with other people. But I always loved her. I felt that she always loved me. Over the years, at certain times, we get back in contact, but normally just as friends. One time, I tried to get her back unsuccessfully. Two years later, I’m trying again. I got her a pair of earrings this year for Christmas that she absolutely loved. She thanked me in a myspace message saying that I didn’t have to get her anything, but that the gift was lovely and she was wearing them right now. I offered to get a gift for her daughter’s birthday which was before Christmas and she said if I wanted to I could. This has been the only time that we have talked, outside of the dumb phone call I made about three weeks ago to her house by texting her landline. I talked to her best friend online too. I let her know how I feel about my ex. I told her to tell her that I would call her the next day. She said she would. I called her, but she wasn’t home. I don’t know what to do. Her best friend thinks I’m a great guy, but I don’t know if my ex thinks the same about me. It’s hard to know since we don’t talk. Why did I buy things first without trying to build a conversation/establish a relationship again? I need advice.
