Q:My girlfriend broke up with me 3 months ago. I have called and called and sent her multiple texts everyday but she won’t return them. I have also sent her flowers, a bunch of pictures of us and a tiffany’s bracelet, but she didn’t even reply when she got those! How do I get her to love me again and get back together with her?

A: No response to any of that? Have you tried sitting outside of her house with a pair of binoculars and a journal that details her every action? How about writing her a nice letter that ends with “I would kill ten kittens just to get back together with you? You could also try beating your fist to your chest over and over again like Mark Wahlberg does in the movie “fear”. Yeah that could work.
Truth is stranger than fiction and while I doubt she will get back together with you, who knows maybe she will. If she doesn’t, just realize that it wasn’t meant to be and while it hurts now, it will go away. What I would recommend is to move on with your life and leave her alone. There are either two things that will happen once this occurs. A) You will get over her after a period of time and realize that it didn’t work out for a reason. During this process you may even find someone new or have some wacky adventures in the world of being single.
B) There is also the (very slight) possibility that once you leave her alone she will realize that she misses you and what you provided to her, even if it to me it seems a bit intense. In the meantime sometimes relationships don’t work and it sucks to be broken up with, but it’s not the end of the world and having a stalking charge added to your resume won’t help things out. Put the unmarked car back in the garage, erase her number from the phone and go have some less obsessive fun!
