Check out some of the thousands of email questions teens from around the world have sent to Terra. You may learn something useful from her answers:
“I want him back!”
(Continued)
Hey Terra,
This is me again. I was just writing to say I took your advice and I didn't jump into things with that guy, which is good since me and my ex got back together! He wrote me this incredible love letter and he started crying in front of me and that was it. I lost all strength and told him I needed time to think and I did. And the next night I took him back. He told me he couldn't live without me, which I know is so cliché, but it worked and I believed him so we are together, so thank you.Not Lost Anymore
Dear Not Lost Anymore,
Great news! Keep the lines of communication open between you, and handle things (when they come up) with respect and sensitivity. Remember that the word "friend" is in boyfriend and girlfriend. Be good friends to each other.
In friendship,
Terra
