I've done it, too. I've blown up on a man I'm in love with. I apologized, and he accepted it, and we decided to be just friends (but I love him more). He still checks in with me every now and then, offers to help with things around the house, takes me to lunch, and we hug when we say good bye. BUT he is dating others. I know there could be hope, but it depends on the individual man. What I would like to know is how best to bring him back and when to know there's no hope.
I have put myself back on the dating site, but my heart isn't in it.
