I think its what your comfortable with and what your gut tells you....
I have had readers tell me both, not to contact or too contact.. or same thing... if i reach out then it will speed things up, if i dont i'll just have to wait it out.....
Always go with what u feel is right not friends or readers..... its hard not to let readers influence you but its so important to take it at surface value and use that they say with your own intuition.
No one knows better than you.....
me personally in my situation i had reached out few times...(3) .. which i feel is reasonable.. with responses 2 out of the three.. but that's not the kind of relationship i want or a norm for us in the past....remember you train people how to treat you. I know for my ex if he is into it... he'll be the one reaching out.. so for me i gave him my side of things... he knows where to find me.. and for me, for things to go forward i need him to step up and be the one to reach out without prompting..... this way it'll validate for me - he's in this again.... I'm prepared that if he doesn't than he's not worth it...
So go with your gut! regardless of who tells you what to do.
