Any of you cats ever have a ex-GF who burned bridges with you ever try to comeback into your life?

"She's Out of Your League"
You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.
Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.
She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.
Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.
Burned bridges..
- Thread starter DoubleA
- Start date
"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.

They can come a knockin' but you don't have to let them in.

Francis,
That comment reminded me of Indiana Jones 3, where the guy says,"Tough luck, kid. Just because you lost today, doesn't mean you have to like it." He gives him the hat that would be his patented trademark.
Funny how almost six years ago you go from finding out an Ex is married through her mother. No invite received. To six years wanting to find out if I still care. It makes me angry somewhat.
Why she'd think I'd take her back with kids as a reminder of her marriage..I'll never know? I really hate to say it but that would be like rubbing it in my face, after telling me we had no chance of getting back together. :kick: Maybe I was an AFC....HAAA...I WAS AN AFC. Maybe I should have Cave-Man styled it? it's too late fo maybays.
Thanks! I been around. But not enough to be tolerant of someone pickin at an OLD wound.

:woo: FRANCIS?? Is your time so stretched that you can't type 'co' for a guy??!!DoubleA said:Francis,
Anyway, consider this; if you are living your life right as not to have let the breakup hold you down, your ex may want you back because you have become a better man. As long as you see yourself as having outgrown her you're safe. Guys who felt as if they were lucky she would date a guy like them normally go back and end up getting burned again.
Francis... Pfffftttt......

My bad!
I am a better man. I don't know if I've "outgrown" her. I can't say. I know what I can tolerate. But I can say I'm not into getting sloppy seconds, if you know what I mean. She wasn't thinking about me now when she got hitched and had kids, right?
Life is funny.
"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.
