"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.

How do you guys handle retrieving stuff post breakup? My ex has had my watch since the breakup, thing is I never mentioned the watch to her and took her two weeks to finally reach out and say she has it.

Was arranging to pick it up at her place but schedules conflicted, we both work near each other...asked to stop by her job to get it. Would you guys ask her to come outside or walk in? I really don't want to go inside not knowing what coworkers know and what not. Any thoughts?
 

"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"

Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.

You've been "getting ready" for two years.

She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.

Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.

Just walk in dammit. Why do you care what others (of whom you will probably never see again) think of you?

Forget it . If she doesn't offer to return it then you know she is trash. Walk away.

Get online and look up "demand letter". Draft one demanding your stuff within 30 days or you take her to small claims court. Mail to her via Certified US Mail and require that she personally be the only one who can sign for it. Now gather any receipts you have that may prove the stuff is yours. Or any evidence you have that you can prove its yours; a picture of it, a text message or email where you talked about it, anything.. If she doesn't respond to your demand letter, take her azz to small claims court.
