You absolutely do not have to wait for them. There are countless stories in the Success Stories that have resulted from them reaching out to their SP first. However in order to be successful the intention has to be positive and unattached. If you are worried or feel fear about texting or him responding then no and I really encourage you to really figure out if it is something that is coming out from fear because if you aren't ready and you aren't detached this could be a very painful thing if they don't text back. If you are in alignment with yourself and the intention is fully coming from a loving and positive place then go for it! 

My advice for you is allow the Universe to guide you with something like this. When he broke up with you I am so sure you felt so much pain. But there is something different about this guy right? He is special, he could be your forever guy so visualize those things and when you live as if and then you are in the best place of your life that is so powerful and your vibe will be high. So then maybe you might want to reach out to him or not. Whatever you want, the world is your oyster. 

Thank you Jen, that is extremely kind of you to say. 

I hope this helps you! 

Id like to think of it as if I was texting a family member or friend. I wouldn't worry if they didn't reply back, I'd just continue on. This happened to me, I texted him this week and we had a good conversation. Then I decided to text him a few days later and no reply. Probably because I was nervous that he wouldn't reply, and well he didn't. But it's okay. I'm not going to worry about it anymore. I know he's mine, I know he wants me. I know he loves me. And I know I will be with him soon. There are so many different ways he can come back so I let go of the outcome. I hope that helps. Good vibes too you and everyone on here!
