I miss him

So long story short. My ex and i broke up the week of our 1 year last year in February, it was a mutual breakup.

We were pretty much best friends after, just cause we started out as friends and had such a close bond.

We didn’t get straight into talking after.

But when we did start talking it was like check ups and normal conversations, even invited me to his sisters wedding. But earlier this year in April, during one of the many talks he said “I can’t just be friends with you, I’m still madly in love you with”.

So when I went back home from college we caught up and I pretty much told him that the best thing for us was a break, cut communication for 6-12 months just so we can both work on ourselves and mainly for him to allow himself to explore and I guess get over me. And talk again after the break.

We solemnly broke up because I went overseas for 3 months, came back and was leaving straight to college. And also I’d just lost feelings.

I always think about him, just cause he’s an amazing person and I just miss talking to my best friend.

It’s been just about 6 months. So pretty much I want advice on when is the best time to talk to him again or should I just not talk to him at all?
