I regret how I ended things with a girl I dated a few months ago. Would it be a bad idea to reach out again?

A few months back I dated this girl for about a month. The first few dates/hangouts were cool, but then we got into a big fight over whether or not to use condoms during sex. We recovered well from that fight and didn’t have any issues until a couple dates later when I felt like she stopped putting effort into her appearance, her breath stank, and she disrespected me in public.

Instead of trying to talk through my issues with her, I didn’t text/call her for 2 days, then I call her to tell her I don’t think things will work out. She was sincerely apologetic for most of the issues I brought up and even took accountability for her actions which shocked me. In my previous dating experiences, no one has taken as much accountability as she did.

When things were good with her, they were really good and I miss that. I want to give things another try and I will communicate better.

I’m scared she’ll say no or that she’s seeing someone else. I think I really hurt her feelings and it sounded like she was trying her best not to cry. I feel really awful and wish I would’ve talked to her sooner and given her a chance. The last thing she said before we hung up was that she’s not going to fight to keep seeing each other because she doesn’t want up be in a space she’s not welcomed. I liked her a lot, just not the her disrespectful actions, which I now think were fixable. I want to welcome her back into my life and always have her around. Should I go for it?
