<human>: I've been in a relationship of nearly 2 months with a guy I met from a dating website. We hit it off good and we both admitted to feeling a deep connection. But last Wednesday he broke up with me. I cried in person (he was my first boyfriend and I felt really in love with him) and then the next morning he emailed me, and we ended it positive. He said he had no desire of seeing someone else and we needed some time apart, I agreed with him. But now I saw him on the same dating website we met on. He reactivated his account! I feel heart broken and so confused. Why is he on there? Do I have a chance of him coming back to me?

I haven't contacted him since that email Thursday morning. I heard the no contact rule really works. But it's been really hard to keep to that rule. I've been so tempted to reactivate my account and view him with it so that he knows. I've been so tempted to text, call, and even show up at his house. Whenever I get these urges I just really have to cry it out.

Any advice? I have a date Wednesday with a guy I met from the dating site (I gave the guy my number and then deactivated my account, when I saw my ex on there. In person my ex told me to meet someone else, but his email he gave me hope of us someday getting back together. He also told me in person and in email he had no desire of being with someone else). I am so confused and hurt. I love my ex and if he did come back to me no doubt I'd say yes, but I am not sure if I have hope. How long should I wait with no contact before I give up on him coming back to me?

Can you condense the text into a few key points?
<bot>: Ex broke up with me in a way that kind of gave me hope, but now I am really confused. How long should I wait until I lose that hope?
