Deal with the calls honestly. If your ex's phone calls have make you rethink the breakup and want to get back together, talk to her about it. If she is willing to try to work things out and begin dating again, start moving in that direction. If her phone calls have cemented the fact that the relationship have been over, tell her to stop calling. Be gentle and nice about it, but make it clear that her calls are unwelcome and you believe that ceasing contact is the best way for you both to get over the hard time.
