Search Results: getting over being hurt

Things came to a head with someone I was briefly seeing. I hurt her, and she wanted to end but said if i got my shit together she would reconsider. So i go to agree to a month-long break, with 2 weeks no contact, and then she'll let me know what she thinks. Is there a chance she wants this time to just get over me and move on?

We still like each other, but we both agree that it wasn't good for us rn, and that there were too many problems in our lives which were making us miserable at the moment. Most of them were on my end. I need to work on myself — and i had promised her that I would, and was really trying to — but it was too hard with everything going on to actually do that, because there was just so much stuff happening. The stuff that was going on was stuff that I wanted to fix so that I could make us happy, and be a better partner in the future, but it was simultaneously getting in the way of me focusing my efforts in that direction — I told her that and she agreed/accepted it. Like I want and wanted to be better. And was trying to.

Still, she said she would consider it again in the future, in a month or even later at some point. I really like this person too, and I think we could be really happy together if we sorted through some of our problems first (especially me). I also know, from myself, her, and mutual friends, that she is a very straightforward person who usually, but not always, says what she means. My worry is that she isn't serious about this and that it's a soft rejection.

Like i get that she's ending things, but is she serious about being willing to consider after a month or in the future?

So I've liked this girl at my job who is also my supervisor. Since I've been there I've tried complimenting her every now and then and asking how she's doing etc. But she never showed the same amount of interest as me and I felt like I wasn't making any progress so I kinda fell back and stopped making as much of an effort. Last week she called me during our break (she pretty much only texts me and even then it's only ever work related). But I was going through a low point in my depression so I talked myself out of answering the phone thinking that if it was important she would text me or call again. That entire week after not picking up her call I felt weird energy between us, she would walk right past me not saying a word or even looking at me but then smile and laugh with some other guy who just started there... Ever since then I can't stop thinking that I fucked up because I was too busy being petty trying to make her think I wasn't interested as some sort of revenge. And then just yesterday during our break I'm sitting in my car waiting to go back into work and I see her getting out of some other guys car smiling hard as fuck. I know I shouldn't be obsessing over her this hard but I can't help it, she's all I think about and it hurts me that I don't know how to just tell her how I feel without making it weird or awkward.
