Long story short:
My ex loved me, but I was insecure. After 1,5 years he ended it. I fell in love with him, I realized what I had neglected. He gave me a second chance two weeks later. Two weeks after that he dumped me again. He didnt feel anything he said. I cried. I called him the day after. It felt good to talk to him, as always. I said (but only kidding) that I would call again the next day. I didnt, and he called me. He said I was a manipulative brat! But he said it with humor while laughing. The next day he called, three times. He even called to say good night. I took care of his pet for four days. When he returned we ate in a restaurant, and went to my place. He sat on my lap while we talked. We kissed and I left for my 5 week vacation. I returned not knowing what he wanted as the signals had been mixed. I went to his place, drank some wine and it "clicked" for me. I needed answers. And now! He said he felt better off alone, not with me. I said we should have NO contact. He felt REALLY bad and convinced me to remain friends.
I stopped calling and texting him, and he sent me a text message 10 days later wishing me well and humorously saying I was strangely "silent". I answered. Today I called. We talked for 30 min. Nothing special, no "loving" vibes. Just friends. He seems afraid of sending me wrong signals again because he knows I want him. But he is still relaxed enough to talk and laugh with me.

My question: I really want him back! I have no longer expectations, just hopes. What do I do next. I said id start training 5 days I week. He said "Ive heard that one before". He has, many times. But Im serious now! To prove him and most important – me!
Had I not gone on my vacation he would not have gotten used to not seeing me so much.

What do I do…?
Ive told him I want him back already. But he doesnt want to.
Should I remain a friend? I dont want to be stupid and ignore him. I neglected him too much as a couple already.

Firstly, I do not want any answers that are like "You’re an a**hole" or "Forget about the past" ect.

BTW – There’s a tl;dr version

I have always had a big crush on this girl, since I was like 11. She was one of the nicest people I have ever met in my life. We started dating around November of last year, and I’d enjoy everyday of her. I would always write her poems and love letters, and such. And she would always make me happy. And I never met anyone like her. It felt like she was like my soul mate, in some ways.

Than are relationship went down hill, her so called "best friend forever", hated my guts with a passion. And now I believe it was due
to "jealousy", in my honest opinion. She would always make up nasty stuff about up me, and tell her I was so called "cheating on her". I never did.

Eventually, we broked up around 3 times, due to this little brat. The 3rd time was it. After, that I did alot of stupid sh*t. And I acted like a complete a**hole and d**chebag to her. Something I regret.

Than she went out with her so called "true love", who only loved her because of her boobs. It didn’t last too long, it lasted for around 3-5 weeks.

Ever since she broked up with me in Febuary, she went out with around 8 guys, which I think is really odd and whorish. And I did go out with some other girls too, but I never really find them as amazing as her.

She currently has a boyfriend, who is my best friend. I do not plan to ruin this relationship for him, because I’m not your typical "teenager". My friend isn’t really commited to her, because he told me he wasn’t going to stay with her for long.

What can I do at this point? I just feel empty inside.

tl;dr version:
I met a dream girl, her bff ruined it. She is with someone now, who probally won’t be with her very long. How can I get her back?

I would also like to add, that she still may like me. She stills txt me everyday, and we talk on the phone every now and than.

k so I went all psycho on an ex, nothing physical, just acted irrational, wasn’t sure what I wanted at the time, I didn’t cheat or did anything immoral (thank goodness), I mean psycho as in I acted like a total brat..

:-/

k well this is the first guy who respected me, treated me well, was the best bf ever…I loved him so much and I pushed him away, I feel so sad and depressed. I know what I did wrong and am trying to take some 6 months off from dating to figure myself out…

I was thinking, what about the future? when I’m back to go out into dating, would any guy not hold the past against me?
i’m in my 20s if that helps
