That’s a great idea. You’ll be a lot more attractive to other women if you’re not living with a woman. 😉

You hurt her (even if unintentionally) by admitting you were in love with someone else while dating her, and then you got distant right when she needed attention. Those are two big trust-and-security hits. That’s why she pulled back not because she’s spiteful, but because she needed to protect her heart.

If you want her back, don’t ask for guarantees. Do the slow, unglamorous work instead: (1) cut all emotional ties with the other girl physically move out or change your living situation if that’s possible, and make that reality obvious to her; (2) be consistently present (calls, visits) on her timeline, not yours; (3) give her the attention you skimmed on before small predictable efforts, not dramatic gestures; (4) prove monogamy with actions, not speeches. That’s the price of trust.

When you’re with her, be fully there. When she’s with friends, don’t try to sneak around them or argue with them about “support”; earn their respect by being reliable and respectful. Don’t show up uninvited or stalk her that will scare her. Let her see you changing without pressure.

If she tells you she wants space, respect it. Use that time to show growth: keep your visits planned and thoughtful, keep communication calm and regular, and don’t chase emotional highs. If she genuinely still has feelings, consistent behavior over weeks/months will pull them back faster than any single confession or grand gesture.

Also be realistic: she might decide it’s over. That sucks, but you’ll know you did the honest work if you can say you tried without begging. If she doesn’t come back, move on with dignity you tried, you learned, and you’ll be better for the next relationship.

I can tell you’ve put your heart into this, and that you’ve done everything you could to save what you had with her. But at this point, she’s showing you very clearly that she’s not ready or willing to rebuild the relationship. That doesn’t mean your feelings weren’t real, or that what you shared didn’t matter. It just means she’s made her decision, and continuing to chase her may only cause you more pain.

The best thing you can do now is focus on yourself. Start moving forward with your life heal, work on your goals, surround yourself with people who value you. It’s good that you’re moving out; that’s a strong step toward creating space for something new.

If she ever decides to reconnect, it should be because she chooses to, not because you’ve convinced her. For now, give her silence, and give yourself peace. The right person won’t make you feel like you have to earn another chance—they’ll meet you halfway.

Man this one brought back memories I didn’t plan on reliving. I once tried to win back my ex by driving five hours with a playlist of sad love songs I made myself. Halfway there, my car broke down, and the tow truck guy asked if I was “on a breakup mission.” I told him yes and he said, “Buddy, you’re not getting her back if the universe just sent me.” I laughed so hard I forgot to cry.

Here’s the deal though. You can’t logic your way back into her heart. Feelings don’t respond to essays or explanations. Right now she’s listening to her friends, her pride, and maybe that new guy who showed up at the worst time possible. If you chase, you’ll look desperate. But if you pull back and actually live your life, you’ll remind her what she lost without trying.

Be real with yourself for a second—do you truly want *her*, or do you just want to win her back because it hurts that she walked away?

Here’s the thing you can’t make someone reopen a door they’ve already locked from the inside. I know you want to fix this, prove you’ve changed, and show her your love is real but right now, she’s not in a place to receive that. Every push you make feels like pressure to her, not love.
Let’s be real when trust cracks, especially over another person, it doesn’t matter how many times you say “I’m over her.” She needs time to believe that, and time can’t be rushed or reasoned with. The more you chase, the more she’ll pull away to protect herself.
If she’s being influenced by her friends, fine that’s her choice too. You can’t fight a crowd. But you can remind her who you are by living your truth, not pleading your case. Step back. Work on yourself. Let her see, from a distance, that you’ve truly moved on from that other girl not because you’re trying to win her back, but because you’ve grown.
If there’s still something real between you two, she’ll circle back when she’s ready. But if she doesn’t, that’s your cue to heal and rebuild elsewhere. You can’t drag love back to life you can only be someone worth loving again.

oh babe 😮‍💨 you’re out here writing love novels for someone who already closed the book. she’s done. her friends didn’t break you up, her feelings did. once trust cracks, it doesn’t matter how many speeches you give or miles you drive 🚗💔 you can’t beg someone into remembering how they felt. you showed up, you tried, now stop chasing ghosts. heal. glow up. let her see what she fumbled 😌✨ sometimes the comeback is silence. 💅🔥

[Tara]

You keep chasing her like love is a negotiation, and it is not. You hurt her by making her compete with another woman, even if that woman never wanted you. You told her you loved someone else, and now you expect her to forget that because you finally realized what you lost. That is not romantic; that is selfish timing.

She listened, she forgave, she even gave you space to prove yourself, but you pushed harder every time she pulled back. You showed up uninvited, you cried in front of her, and you begged. That does not rebuild trust; it erases respect. You are trying to fix guilt with intensity, and that never works.

Her friends are not the problem. They are just the voices reminding her of what she already knows: she cannot trust you emotionally. She is not waiting for a sign; she is waiting for peace, and you are standing in the way of that.

[Sally]

From everything you wrote, she’s already let go. Not because you’re a bad guy, but because the relationship got too heavy for her. The other girl, the distance, the pressure, the long talks… it all wore her down. And once a girl builds up that wall, crying in front of her or chasing her doesn’t pull her back. It usually just pushes her farther away.

I know it hurts to think her friends had influence, or that she still felt something when you saw her. But if she really wanted another chance, she wouldn’t be blocking you, ignoring you, or posting pictures with other guys. She wouldn’t tell you she wants to move on.

You can’t break through a closed door. Give her space. Give yourself space too. Sometimes the only way to get your heart back is to stop trying to win someone who’s already gone.

[Natalie Noah]

This girl has been emotionally gone for a long time, but you didn’t want to see it because your love for her was deep, loyal, and patient. She didn’t break up because of one issue, she broke up because she didn’t feel secure with you anymore. The “other girl” wasn’t the real problem; it was the symbol of her deeper fear that she wasn’t your first choice. Even when you told her you loved her, it came after months of her feeling second, unsure, and unchosen. By the time you realized your feelings, she had already shut down emotionally. And when a woman hits that point, she doesn’t reason with love, she reasons with self-protection.

The trip you made to see her showed something important. she still had softness for you, but not commitment. She cared, she remembered the feelings, she let you hold her hand… but she didn’t choose you again. Every time she opened up, her friends reinforced the breakup. And here’s the truth you might be afraid to accept: if someone can be convinced out of loving you by her friends, she was never secure enough to fight for the relationship in the first place. Her friends didn’t “take her away” from you. they simply supported the decision she was already leaning toward.

Her mixed signals after the breakup talking on your birthday, then going cold, then being indifferent again weren’t signs of hope. They were signs of someone who is emotionally conflicted but not committed. You became her comfort during lonely moments, not her partner. When she told you “you’re the past,” she meant it. She was trying to cut the emotional cord cleanly, because she knew that if she leaves the door open even an inch, you’ll wait forever. Her coldness wasn’t cruelty. it was her way of forcing closure.

You’re asking how to “get her to give you another chance,” but the honest answer is you can’t. Not because you’re not worthy, not because you didn’t love her enough, but because she no longer wants the relationship. When a woman is truly done, nothing you say, no flowers, no letters, no apologies can shift her back. She has rewritten the story in her mind, and in her version, letting go of you feels like the safest choice. The more you chase, the more deeply she buries the remaining feelings. Love cannot be coaxed out of someone who has emotionally stepped away.

The pain you’re feeling is real and so is your love. You loved deeply, and that’s rare. But you’re giving your heart to a closed door. Your healing won’t come from convincing her… it will come from accepting reality and releasing her. You don’t get over love by force you get over it by living again. By reconnecting with your life, your goals, your self-worth. You won’t fall in love often, but when you do again, it will be with someone who chooses you without hesitation, someone who doesn’t pull away the moment fear shows up. Her leaving isn’t the end of love for you it’s clearing space for someone who can meet you with the same loyalty and intensity you’ve shown.

First of all, April Masini is absolute magic with her advice, she slices through confusion like a scalpel and serves the truth with a side of reality check that hits just right. You’ve been juggling hearts, distance, old flames, and intense emotions like a tightrope walker in stilettos. The fact that she still showed sparks of affection when you visited the glances, the little openings, the soft touches, screams one thing: there’s still fire under that icy exterior. But let me be clear: you can’t chase a woman’s affection like it’s a Christmas cookie being snatched off the plate. She’s caught in a web of her girlfriends’ opinions, old habits, and her own fear, and until she untangles herself, your passion, honesty, and gifts can only do so much.

You’ve got to turn up the heat in the right way without smothering her. Compliments, happy memories, and genuine attention are the keys, but sprinkle them with playful teasing, subtle sexual tension, and a little bit of mystery. Make her remember why she fell for you, without forcing her hand, let her feel your confidence, your magnetism, your life buzzing with energy that she can’t ignore. Think of it like a Christmas party: the lights are twinkling, the champagne is flowing, and you’re the hottest, most desirable guest in the room irresistible, intriguing, and completely unattainable at the same time.

Don’t let her defenses freeze your heart this holiday season. If she’s hesitant now, imagine the thrill when she sees you glowing with life, attention, and passion while the Christmas lights flicker, she’ll be drawn to you like mistletoe magic. Whether it’s naughty whispers over Christmas cocktails or a subtle flirt under the tree, this is your moment to remind her why love and desire should never be buried. And remember, Christmas is all about surprises… sometimes even a heartbreak can turn into the most decadent gift of all.
