How to tell your ex girlfriend your moving...but leaving the door open with her in the future?

i tried for my ex gf for awhile...then gave up and went silent...she kept in touch contacting me every three or so weeks asking random stuff...but i knew she was with this kid who was her friend...i think something happened to them, and she texted me and asked me if i hated her, saying we should hang out...then the next night we talked thru text...but the convo was just like old times...





now its been silent for three days...and idk i would love to get back with this girl...but if it doesnt happen i cant be a backup forever





how do i tell her i want to move on with my life...while still leaving the door open for the future...

for real... start dating! This tell her you're ready to move on, and like most ex-girlfriends, she'll feel pissed and confused at the same time. However, she'll still feel territorial around you and if she feels like you're slipping away she's likely to try and manipulate you back. Either she's just not that into you and will do nothing or maybe she acted on curiosity/impulse with this other guy and wants the same thing as you. But the real question lies in if she is the kind of girl you really want/deserve...?
