Alright that makes sense, but you are going off on these lectures and the thread is about broken condoms.
"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"
Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."
You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.
She's been waiting forty minutes.
Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.
Broken contact..Set back...ugh!

"I just moved here from Florida."
That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?
She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."
She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.
I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.
Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.
No not really. Everyone just thinks it is. It never is. More often than not, the person you leave to "go to the other side", moves on eventually..that drives you mad that she know longer fawns all over you, then the cycle begins just the same. You want what you can no longer have.tick37 said:

Ooops..nervermind.. Broken contact.. broken condoms.. whatever.
You know I've realized something since coming here. I was a pvssy. BIG TIME! I had no idea what a loser I was. I'm a good looking guy, I have a great education, and a great job, but my attitude was all wrong. I thought I needed someone to complete the list. Guess what! I don't need anyone. I'm a little drunk right now, but I'm speaking my mind. I'm sick of the BS! Anyway...what was I saying?SunnyD said:
"She Laughed All Night. Then She Ghosted You. Here's Why."
Dinner ran three hours. She laughed at everything. You walked her to her car thinking this one's locked in.
Then: nothing. Two texts. No reply. What happened?
You did what most men do on a great date. You filled every silence, answered every question, and left her with nothing to wonder about. No mystery. Nothing to sit with when she got home.
Rule 3 of the "22 Rules" changes the ending: tell her a little, hold back the rest, and let her imagination do the chasing. The ghosting stops too.
I truly think you should end all contact. I'm looking out for your best interest because he has no respect for you. He's playing your emotions. Look out for yourself, baby. just take care of YOU.
Whew, I figured out what I was saying...

I think I'm getting the sweetest "revenge" anyway. Not intentionally...but it just happened that I am becoming very good friends with a girl I work with. I did NOT like her because I was sure she was after him the entire time I was with him..but turns out my jealousy was directed in the wrong direction and he was likely the one after her. He used to go to clubs with her and tell me I couldnt come because I'd get jealous if she hit on him infront of me and cause a scene. Give me a break. I'm not like that at all..but I admit I was jealous of whatever it was between them and swore they hooked up. People told me they did, he denied it.
Anyway, not the point. He left our place of employment for another job, lost touch with her I guess along the way. He and I had our falling out, I had to work with her more and actually got to like her, we get along great and hang out now and I know people have told him. He probably thought it'd be a cold day in hell me and her would ever be friends.
I just remember reading here in advice somewhere..that the best revenge is no revenge, and becoming friends with his girl friends..haha.
