She'll come around and it'll most likely be worth it.

Also, you'll note that most of this forum says not to do it, which is a sign that you absolutely must do it for success.
She'll come around if she wants to, not because he pesters her.

Um, dude, I believe you were one of the people telling me to back off of my FWB when I ended things with him. I did. A couple months after the breakup, I sent an exploratory "hey how are you?" type of text, asking him if he wanted some supplements I had ordered for his dog. He responded without enthusiasm and I let it go entirely. If she's not talking to you stay away for a long time. Make one more contact. And then let it be.

1. When the relationship is over, leave it be. Do you want to hear about the various men she's dating and banging?

2. She's upset now, but it's almost guaranteed the relationship would end later because of loneliness, someone cheating, etc.

3. It's over. Leave it be. She's probably already swapping saliva with some new guy.

This individual sounds a bit...jaded.

I'd consider that when considering his/her advice

hahaha, yeah I wasn't taking that one too seriously.

I gave it one little attempt to talk to her with a message and she wasn't having it. I'll just sit back and wait for her to talk, and if not.. oh well.

I think it's kind of crappy, but in the end.. that's life.

This is exactly why he SHOULD keep in contact with her.

Let me school ya for a second, partner.

When a girl gets dumped, she goes into her lonely phase and needs to have guys around. So she bangs everyone. Then OP calls her, gets things poppin. OP is Burgler so he's a pimp and he'll have another girl in his bed already. It's threesome central all the way baby!

Yeah, I was hoping to keep in contact with her because I wouldn't mind being able to hook up with her later when I see her again. Plus, she's a really good girl and someone I would want to keep my options open to in the future if I ever do get a chance to see her again. I don't think she'll be out bangin other dudes, and even if she is.. I won't know about it or ask about it. Who am I to judge? I'm already lookin myself.

There was a Mexican honey that I met here in Michigan before I moved away so I'll be meeting up with her pretty soon. She's already texting me as soon as she found out I was here in town.

I've been in an LDR over a year and a half, so I need to say a few things.

1. LDR's are extremely difficult to maintain even when the couple is completely functional and happy, establishing a friendly connection after a breakup via distance will be even harder and makes no sense.
2. Do not try and talk to an ex who you are not willing to engage in an LDR with. It makes her miss home even more, and makes the break even worse.

If you can't commit to her (and you have decided not to), cut it off. Completely.

What's the point of keeping in contact with her? If it's over, it's over and your next girlfriend might have a problem with you keeping in contact with an ex.

Because it was a good relationship and I liked this girl quite a bit. Plus, I am not looking to be in a relationship any time soon... I need time for myself, then time to date casually again. I probably won't have another girlfriend for a while.

The only reason it's over is because of distance.. not because we didn't get along or because one of us did something wrong.
