Hey there,
I recently dated for the first time and lost all my chats with her due to losing all my WhatsApp chats which has been bothering me for some time now. We broke contact in January and said goodbye positively and respectfully because she was not interested anymore (due to long distance and her having doubts). We kept talking for a long time even after she said she had doubts, so it was more like being friends at some point. However, she was always positive and very respectful. Is it weird to now message her and ask her to export our chats because it holds value to me as I really enjoyed talking to her and we had a lot of conversations? Or is that damaging my self worth and seems desperate? I’m sure she wouldn’t mind and she would react positively. It just feels like this is the last chance to ever see that chat again as it is quite recent, waiting any longer would make it weirder.
(The chats just hold a lot of sentimental value for me from a good time, it’s not about her but about the moments and stuff surrounding it. I don’t really care that it’s weird from one side because I will never speak to her again anyways or see her again and having these texts back would lift a weight from my shoulders. Other part of me doesn’t want to be weird).
Thanks for your thoughts!
