Answer
You let him know.....chances are he misses you too. 6 years ago next month..my fiance left me. we were together for 5 years. im 24 now and i still love her. i haven't even seen her in 5 years.

Answer

First off you have to be sure your boyfriend doesn't have another girlfriend. If he does, please don't bother him. You made your choices 6 years ago.
Now if he is not seeing anyone, perhaps you could meet him somewhere. I think talking on the phone to him is not good enough. It is better if he can see your face and body language and there is a higher possibility he will believe what you are saying.
When you see him tell him what is in your heart. Tell him you made a terrible mistake and in these past 6 years you have grown-up and everyone is entitled to one mistake. Only say it if you mean it!
Good luck Marcy  

Answer

I think you should look him up. I was very much in love with a girl in 1998 and our friendship was so nice and she came along at a wonderful time in my life. Sadly, she turned me down when I asked her to marry me because she was moving away to finish college and I wouldn't see her for two years. I didn't want to let her slip out of my life and when she said no, I was so heart broken and it took nearly 3 years to get over her. Worrying about losing her hurt the friendship and unfortunately we never recovered. And the hard part was learning to move on. Here it is now slightly over 6 years later and I'm still unmarried (almost 31, never married) and I date occasionally. I still wonder from time to time if she even thinks about me....or would cry to learn that I still haven't found anyone. My advice, check in on your old boyfriend and NEVER talk about other guys you've been seeing since you left him!! Guys have a real problem hearing about the other guys in-between. If you truly love him, all he needs to know is that there's no one else in your life. Good luck!!  

Answer

oh my God... tell him how you feel... NOW. Please, life is too short. can you manage to know? OR can you manage to never know? you choose!!! DO IT!!!  

Answer

Be honest and give it a shot, I guess, but after 6 years it's probably best to just let go.  

Answer

Why over complicate love like this? We both know that when people want to be together it is mutual and explosive. There is a REASON that you two broke up in the first place. How quickly we forget. Save this beautiful new yearning, for a NEW man, get out of the ex-boyfriend rut. A little lonliness will have you good and ready when the time comes to find a new man. That angst of actually wanting a new boyfriend will give you confidence and if you keep exhausting that on ex-boyfriends, you are going to drench yourself in ex-boyfriend pee, a smell repugnant to new guys thus keeping you away from new beginnings.
Never deeply regret your life decisions. If you truly deeply regret being yourself, even if being yourself resulted in breaking his heart, then you have a guilt problem and you don't need to be thinking about finding a man; you need to be thinking of how to work on your indecisiveness and try to search your heart for why you would "deeply" regret your actions.  

Answer

I disagree with the two answers above me. I think you should go for it. Talk to him again and tell him EVERYTHING.Remember, '..all the things I thought I'd regret doing are the things I regret not doing..'I think this is one of those,you'll regret not telling him and always wonder what would've been if you did tell him.Maybe you still think about him after 6 years because its fate. Maybe its meant to be. I'd say go find out!

I understand what you are saying. I had a boyfriend of 2 years. Throughout the schoolyear, my parents had told me we were GOING to move to a different state. I told my boyfriend and well, i broke up with him. Then after a little while he got a new girlfriend. Then she broke up with him and he now has a new one. he moves on fast apparently and the worst part is that my parents THOUGHT we were going to move. My dad became the finalist but didnt make it. He thought he was a 100 percent true we were moving. now it turns out that i still love my ex-boyfriend to death and cry for him often. i even still have the bday gift he gave me and i hug it too much. i don't let any of my friends touch him unless like i ask if they can hand him over or to hold him. but that's it really. the reason why i became a little protective over my gift (its a stuffed dog...its cute) is because one of my friends ripped it a little...she was threatening me on something. but i still love him no matter what. i really do, and if only he could see what is going on with me would he understand...but life goes on...and im still trying to move forward. good luck!!! sorry this didnt help.
---- comment: Hi... why don't you muster all the courage you have, and set a date to call him back and tell him it was a misunderstanding, apologise and tell him all that is on your heart (all... don't go half measures, throw yourself in it fully)...
He might still love you, and these girls might be nothing but rebound girls... which would explain why he breaks up so quickly. Do not assume anything, normally when u love someone it means they still love you back... althought maybe they don't know it or don't show it.
Dont underestimate love, it doesnt come easy and you don't know when (if ever) you will find someone else. So don't throw away a good thing before trying your best.  

Answer

If you still love him, then he might also still love you back. If you don't love him, you might still want to try to meet him, but you may have to start everything over again. Dont assume that it will work... It is not nice to plan love out... :) but what do i know, love doesnt follow any rules. In the end you'll have to listen to your heart.

answer:
7 years ago i met my friend Chris. we never had a relationship. the only thing we did was makeout and the next day i had hickies on my neck from him. i never met a guy who took his time out of his life to remove the hickies off my neck staying with me for more than 6 hours. i thought it was sweet, but i never told him. our last semister in college we parted sadly i thought we lose communication. but we didn't i long to see how he was. and we stayed in touch now being 2010 7 years later he just told me that after one makeout session and still remembering what we did no sex he tells me that I'm the girl he wants to seattle with. so never give up hope no matter how far apart you are from each other. we live in different states and our feelings for each other grow strong. he tells me every day how much i mean to him and we haven't seen each other since may 2003 we see each other only on facebook and myspace. we are going to meet next year though so im excited!!! prayers do come a long wways and some are answered
