My Aqua broke up with me 2 weeks ago without giving me any explanation over text. I asked her how come she couldn't face me and had to do it over text and she responded that she could see me. I asked to take her up on her offer but she didn't respond. Next morning I broke my phone and currently using a loaner phone and do not have any of my contacts. I was supposed to get new phone delivered today but looks like there was delay in shipment and it will be delivered next week when I'll be out of the country.

I want to try to reconnect with her one last time. If she says no I will forget her and move on but part of me still has feelings for and wants to at least try. If you dont try you never succeed. I have the following options and wanted to get opinion from others on which you would think would be best.

1) Wait 1 month after break up and to give her a call and ask for us to meet in person (this will be roughly after I come back from my upcoming international trip and when I would get my hands on my permanent phone and access to contacts)

2) Wait 2 months after break up and give her a call and ask for us to meet in person (this will be when she will be done with school and will have more free time)

3) Send her a letter - this part is tricky. I met her during summer on a dating app, we originally chatted while I was on international business trip (10k miles away). Now I just happen to go there again and can send a letter (she would never expect that). The reason for sending a letter would be because I wanted to check how she was doing since I know something happened this week that would greatly affect her and she would be feeling bad. I would just check on how she was doing and try to cheer her up by including a small gift (I'm actually bringing it already with me, so it wouldn't be any more hassle) that is DIY and related to something that she always liked about and I think it will bring a smile to her face. I know where she lives but I was never inside, would it be creepy if I send something to her?

Advice from female Aqua's would be appreciated.

You're asking all these questions but you broke your phone and have no idea whether she has contacted you at all. I don't get it.

You should send a text as soon as you get your phone and say "Hey, just checking to see how you've been. My phones been broke the last couple of weeks and I just got it replaced."

Waiting around when you don't even know if she's contacted you at all is not gonna help your situation one bit. Things will get back on track faster if she did like you and you ease her mind with what actually happened, instead of what she is assuming, which is always the worst, unfortunately.

Be friendly and casual. Don't wait. She will either ignore you or answer right away. If she ignores you, then move on, if she answers right away then keep being friendly and hold back on the romance.

Save it for later when you know she likes you and you can bombard her with it and make her uncomfortable but she will have no where to go!!! 😆

BTW, you wont get much help from the Aquas when it's stuff that's common sense, lol- FYI.

They answer when it seems intriguing but then when all the details come out and it's just typical common sense or shit that's easy to figure out, they wont really bother with it.

This is my opinion of course. But as a fellow Sag, I'm just giving you what my take has been. Your best bet is to read through the Aqua forum and read lots of posts. Typically the same questions are being asked and sometimes an aqua will grace you with the presence of an answer. 😄

I did put my sim card into a loaner phone and I did not get any text msgs or voice mails from her. I have a temporary phone I am using where I can receive calls / texts but I do not have any of my contact info. I would need to login into my Google Account and right now I am using an Iphone. Due to a delay in shipping and my international trip tomorrow the earliest I will have it is 11/13.

I read a lot and understand why she broke up with me.

Update - So I finally get my new phone but there is some sort of problem with restoring my contacts. I got 0 contacts synced up and therefore I do not have her number. I wasn't planning on contacting her but now I don't have any way to contact her other by sending her a letter.

I will stick to my original plan and not contact her and I'll try to look for someone else after my birthday next week. If I'm still single and think of her in February, when her birthday is perhaps I will send her a present by mail.

Update2 - while I was not able to restore my contacts I was able to get to my call logs and got her number. Still not calling her.

Good job waiting 30 days.

That’s the rule. Call her now.
Its actually just a coincidence. She broke up with me on 10/15 and on 10/16 my phone died, my temp phone didn't have any contacts and new phone just came in today also without any contacts. I was able to recover call log that went upto 10/12 (4 days before previous phone died) and I got her number out of it & will scan to find some other numbers to recover.

I've decided not to contact her for various reasons.

Let’s call them guidelines.

By waiting 30 days, you give them personal space. Time for them to reflect, miss you, get over the issues that were bothering them, think with a clear head, etc.

Instead of pushing them them away even further by doing the opposite, such as being clingy, emotional, causing pressure, etc. constantly after a breakup

Your ex broke up with you over text with NO explanation. Why on earth would you pursue this person or give her a second thought? That's incredibly disrespectful to you. When someone pushes you out of their lives (and you don't want them to leave), just let them know to contact you if they change their mind, then move on with your life.

You don't really need to go out of your way to say this to her if you haven't already. From your other post it sounds like you were possibly too available, which may have smothered or bored her. Women will always let you know how they feel about you through their actions. This particular woman didn't even care enough to break up with you in person OR give you a reason why. That should tell you everything.

Leave her be and move on with your life. Find a woman who is a better communicator who actually values what you have to offer. It's only human nature to want what we can't have. Instead of trying to "reason" with her, show through your actions that you are a man of value with the internal strength to move on when she pushes you away. She needs to see that your life and happiness don't stop just because she chooses to end things. She needs to be the one who feels like she lost someone, not you.

Do this and she will eventually come back if she has any interest in you left. It may take 30 days, it may take 6 months, or it may even take 2 years. The point is, you're not waiting around for her.
