It isn't. The world is build on hope. However, you have to be very careful. Of all my friends who broke up, only two ever got together again and it worked (and also after dating other people) - so while it's ok to be hopeful, you have accept that most likely you won't get them back. I would say, let the hope carry you through the hard part: getting used to being alone again, having fun by yourself, and being happy. Once you are happy without them, one of two things will happen: Either you can get them back and it will be much better, or you will find you don't need them. The important thing is that in both cases, you will be happy :)

Not at all, love is love no matter who you are. It all depends on how the relationship ended though and how you both were with each other. But in life never give up hope for things you truly want. But if you are not sure you should try asking yourself if this is really what you want... you both broke up ... was it for a reason? Ask yourself if that person was to come back would you be happy with them ? Or be back to square one again with them. The answer to these questions are crucial if you are ever to move on from this person if they never return. But if you truly want this person back it’s never wrong to be positive and hopefull to get them back. I hope you get what you want.

Yes and No. Yes, if that someone is not interested with you anymore. Respecting someones decision should come first before your feelings. Putting yourself first may be the best decision but in this case there is someone involved other than yourself. You should think about the persons feelings too. No, if that someone yearns for you too. If both of you have the same feelings or are on the same page. If it is right for the both of you to be together again, if there is no issue and the past issues are well discussed. Communication is the key, try communicating with each other and see if you both still click.
