Hi,
I have tried to get back with my ex two times already and for different reasons we havent been able to find the right timing to do it. First it was me leaving the US to go to study abroad for two years. At that moment she wanted to start something, but she told me it wouldnt be a good idea to start dating again in a long distance relationship. The second time was last summer and she told me she wasnt ready to be in a serious relationship and if she were to start dating she would definitely want to stay with me, but that wasnt in her mind now.
After that I stop all contact with her and erase her from every social media, phone, email etc. She contacted me until last month in my birthday just to wish me a good day, I just took it as a nice gesture, but I didnt understand the point in her doing it. Then last week I started to think a lot about her and suddenly yesterday she contacted me out of the blue with a very general question: What do you think about whats happened in the US elections recently? I mean is just a general question nothing about me personally or even us, but again I didnt understand what is her point contacting me just for that.
I responded to her text with a simple and funny message and she replied again. I want to continue talking to her normally, but at what point I want to know if her feelings have changed or find out why she texted me, but I dont know how to do it without her thinking I changed the conversation quickly or maybe it wasnt her idea in her texting me initially.
I really need help knowing how to approach this situation. I am currently not in the US, but in Europe studying. I have the freedom to choose where to go for my last semester and of course I thought for a moment besides this happening on going back to the US to her same city, but I wouldnt want to go there again without being sure that at least she wants to try things out again.
Let me know your opinion. Thanks!
