What’s the correct way to approach this?

I broke up with my girlfriend of two years last night. We both agreed that we needed some space since we were facing a lot of challenges. After months of arguments, I made the decision to end things, and we both felt it was the right choice. In a way, it felt like a happy ending. We're planning to stay friends and continue talking; we still love each other, but being friends is the best option for now. We both believe there's a chance we could get back together in the future, and I'm already thinking about asking her out again at the beginning of summer, once college is over. Although it's only been a day, and we need to focus on ourselves for now, I already miss her. Deep down, we both knew that this was the right move for us. How can I navigate this situation to make sure it works out? I really don’t want to mess it up.

It's great that you're both open to staying friends! Focus on personal growth during this time. Give yourselves space, communicate honestly, and support each other. It's normal to miss her; just take it one day at a time. When summer comes, see where you both are emotionally before asking her out again. Good luck!
