So I should probably make it clear before I continue, I am a senior in school.

So my ex and I were extremely close, we were only friends with each other; both our personalities don’t really like other people. We were officially together for 6 months but we both said it was unofficially 10. There was love and care but at the start of the year she became engrossed in school work and began to only really care about that. She became distant and eventually she broke up with me.

A month ago she started talking to me again and we have become kinda close once again. The only problem is that I have become horrible in conversations, I can’t initiate then, I often don’t give responses that grow the conversation etc. I really rely on the other person to contribute. I was like this when we first became friends but it was no where near as bad as this.

I really need advice as to what I should do, because I still have feelings for her but I can control these feelings so that I can view her mainly as a good friend. I obviously would love to get back with her one day but I understand it may not happen.
