What is she saying?

[Burgbud]

jak, it might help if you think about it like this...(if not, forget about it and try something else!)...

What can you do to get her back tomorrow? What could you do to get her back the next day? What about next week? What about two weeks from now?

I can't answer for you but I'm willing to bet the answer to all of those questions is: nothing. She's likely not coming back tomorrow or the next day or next week. God might produce a miracle and make it happen, but you cannot.

But what about in two months? Or four months? Or six months? What could you do to get her back in that kind of time frame?

The first step, since she's asked for it, is to give her space; let go and detach. Don't try to find some method to get her back into your life. Figure out how you can change to *attract* her back into your life. Write down the changes you'd like to see in yourself. Start with not emailing or talking to her about your relationship for awhile (a month? two months? until you get some positive signs? how long can you take it?). Maybe figure out something interesting to do on Saturday nights. If you do interesting things, especially if you didn't used to do them, you'll be more interesting to her.

The idea is, if you have a plan and have written down some goals, it will make it easier. It's still hard and it still sucks, but it's easier.

Good luck!

Oh, I almost forgot...I agree that her message is quite hopeful. But it's hopeful for the future, not for tomorrow or next Wednesday, etc.
