Am I overanalyzing? Ex wants to be friends? I'm confused?

[Nicolas]

So 2 days ago I posted a long story explaining that I pretty much broke up with my now ex-girlfriend.

Here is the scenario, I told her I never wanted to speak to her again because she broke my trust (she didn't cheat on me), but I haven't been able to stop thinking about her and just deep inside want to be with her.

She said she wants to start fresh and I asked her how? She said by being friends. And I told her it would be weird if we were to be JUST friends with no affection whatsoever and it's not what I wanted. And if we can be friends and still do these things, THEN I am cool with taking things slow and see from there. She said Ok I agree.

Anyways I'm just confused. She says this "I did love you and I still do but my feelings have changed after this. Not saying I don't love you cause I do but I'm just holding back and being cautious".

I just don't get it? If someone loved you, wouldn't they say... Hey is there anyway we can work things out or maybe sit down and talk somewhere to see if we can get back together? It just seems weird that she is willing to accept a friendship so easily.

Am I overanalyzing? What do you think?

ex and friendship never really work out

In the end it's really up to you. If you want to be with her again tell her you want to continue the relationship and get back to the way it was. No friendship bs. But if she insists and you feel it's not what you want then move on.

you can become friends with her, that is already a first step (better then living as enemies)
Don't mind that you told her that you did not wanted to speak with her, people tell so many things in break up.
Women are in doubt after breakup, if the did the right thing or not.
You should leave her alone, if she calls you tell her that you are short in time that you will call back later. Call her back but make it short as well, give her the feeling that she is not your priority!
This will trigger her mind.
In the meantime do cool things with friends or alone, get in shape, buy some new clothes, horsebackriding, movies, travel, surf, etc.... (don't tell her about it, she will find out for sure)
don't post stuff on facebook about lovesongs, lovequotes, etc... post cool things you do with friends

If you want her back this, is the way. Use your brain, not your heart at this moment AND be patient!
