I wanted to bring some news for today, but my ex hasnāt arrived home yet (sheās with the other boy now), so I canāt really write anything about her. If I get to know something new, Iāll write an other post.

Well, Iām a kind of āconservativeā person, so personally, I wouldnāt do āfriends with benefitsā, but if yoāre okay with it and it doesnāt violate your beliefs, why not? Considering your ex, she slept with an other boy, so⦠yeah, why not?
Itās totally your own free choice. If you think it could help you, do it! Remember that the primary aim - beside getting her back - is to make yourself happy!
Actually, I have plans with⦠Tinder
Two days ago I become 18 years old, so I can widen the search range. Iāve tried it, and there are much more girls now! Whatās more, much prettier too
I just need a new profile picture. The current one was taken on the day when I first met with my ex, and Iāve changed a lot since then. The new profile picture will be taken on next Saturday, during the film shooting
With this, I can also show the āNew Meā for me for my ex. Actually, changing profile picture is also a little trick (for example, like the one Iāve mentioned in connection with smells). On Facebook, it counts as a big event, and that shows to our ex that something - something good - is happening to us, and weāre living our lives.
It came to my mind from the profile picture that actually, the day when Iāve first met with my ex, was also the day when the relationship started
Before that day (12th July) we only talked on the internet (facebook, snapchat, viber, and mobile calls). We got to know each other on the beginning of May. There was an online writing competition: she was a contestant, and I was the organizer
During the competition, and after that, we talked more and more, and around the middle of June, it came up that āwhat if we were dating?ā. This topic came up more frequently as time passed by, and few days before our first meeting, we only talked about this. We were so excited and nervous. At that time, we were definitely in love with each othersā personality, but we had never seen each other. Than the big day came, and⦠Uhhgr, Iāve never been so excited and nervous. I couldnāt even eat or sleep. And I felt that the 2,5 hours train travel to Budapest lasted forever. I donāt know how youāve met with your ex for the first time, but if not like that, imagine, that your first girlfriend is waiting for you at the train station and you donāt even know how she exactly looks like, only from some pictures, you donāt know how she acts, moves, what are her gestures, her body language, how does it feel to look into her eyes⦠Oh my god, it was one of the weirdest experience in my life. Weird, but in a good way. And⦠Itās easy to conclude what happened
We fell in love :3 But there wasnāt even a kiss! We only hugged each other, and held each othersā hand. The actual talk about the relationship - when we exactly said āyesā to it - happened at a top of a mountain (mountains in Hungary are like 100-200 meters highā¦
). I remember how the wind blew our hair to our faces⦠I think it was the only occasion when it didnāt annoyed me. It was so romantic. And I still remember how it hurt when we had to say goodbye at the end of that day, and weāve just realized how hard it will be and how much will we suffer.
I went to the capital as a single, shy boy, and I came home to my city with a girlfriend who lives 250 kilometers away.
Ahhhhggr, my heart is bleeding while Iām recalling how good it was, and then realize whatās the situation right now 
(And sorry, Iāve forgotten to say that storytime is incoming
)
I really think you should meet with that girl. At least a simple meeting. And if you get involved in a relationship like āfriends with benefitsā, you can easily get out of it I think. Much easier than in case of a real, normal relationship - because itās not a normal relationship!
8 more days for both of us until the āBig Dayā 
@aqua
Oh my god, it must be really hard to distract yourself from Facebook. If youāre online on Facebook, you feel like you must see what he wrote and you want to text back? Because if you can stop this desire somehow, you shouldnāt do this torture. But I know, itās very hard not to write on them 
If you follow the suggestions provided by this page and this forum youāll have bigger and bigger chances. Donāt forget to improve yourself! And donāt think about him too much! Instead, think more about yourself. Make yourself happy. I know that you can only be happy with he⦠But you must find an other way. An other person canāt give you the happiness. You were in a relationship for a year, now, you have to learn how to be independent. Actually, you can take advantage from this freedom and independence. Find new hobbies, try new thing, change yourself, etc. 
Whatever you do, I wish you a lot of success, and be strong! I know how hard are these times.
P. S. She hasnāt been active for 5 hours. She is spending very much time with that guy
Iām worrying. Really really worrying.
