My ex-gf and I broke up almost two years ago because she had to go abroad for university. She felt the long distance thing would have been a struggle and wanted to break it off for her final years at school. The break up was hard on me but I respected her wishes, and let her go without issue. We still kept in touch here and there by email after she went away, but only to update each other. One day, almost a year later, I cracked and wrote to her how I really felt about her; That I missed her and can't forget about her but that I understood her position. She wrote back saying due to priorities, she can't be attached to anybody right now but that she never ruled us out and that timing wasn't good.

During this time, I've tried dating others but never found the same connection and love that I had with her. She's finished school now and will be returning home soon. is it normal to still think we can be together again? Lots of my friends think I'm foolish for believing so, but a part of me still hopes we could.

    I'd say... you deserve a real answer.

    "I'm not ready to commit but I haven't written you off yet" to me isn't a real answer.

    To me that's saying, "I'll date whomever I please but I like knowing you're home waiting for me."

    In all honesty if she's ready to settle down and have a relationship with you, yes try it... but if she's not, then she should let you go. Otherwise it's just stringing you along when you could be living your own life.

      I agree. It sounds like she's trying to string you along, using you as a fall back.

    I think you've a good chance. Good on you for holding out, and at least trying other relationships, good on her for keeping contact and for explaining her situation and that she hadn't lost faith either.
    Make sure to give her some space when she arrives, don't jump to ask her out immediately, let her sink back into life: if she comes to you though, don't hesitate. :)
