"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.

Hello DJ's Wassup???

Ill try to make this as short as possible...
lol but no guarantee'z
And excuse my english...
HERE IT GOES...

Me and my girlfriend have been datin' for 4 months now (knew her for 2 months before we started going out)
Everythings been really smooth up to the point where I had to make a family trip to COSTA RICA for 2 weeks...
When i was on trip I did'nt contact here once
(for various reasons lol)
When I got back she started acting a little bit different...
But that same week that I Got back from my trip
She took a trip to MEXICO for 2 weeks...
So thats 1 month that we didn't see or speak to each other...
She got back 2 weeks ago and we been talkin' on the phone almost every other day...
I been hella busy with my job and my music classes...

Now heres the problem...

Last week she started to act different... And we havnt really talk too much untill yesterday...
She calls up my phone and leaves a message (I was @ work I couldnt pick up)
In the message she states she she needs to talk to me ASAP to please call her back...
A couple of hours later I get off work and give her a call...
I ask her what was that she needed to talk to me about and she says ITS REALLY IMPORTANT BUT SHE WANNA SAY TO ME FACE TO FACE...
I didnt let it get to me so I tell her that i'll stop by her spot tomorrow (well today now lol) And we could talk about it
She agrees...
We talk for a few more minutes and again she brings that up and says "I really gotta talk to you"
And I remind her of what I had said earlier...
Alright I talk to her for around 10 more minutes and THEN she starts bringing that up OVER AND OVER AND OVER AGAIN...
So I told her "Why dont you tell me now then"
Well she says " I Dunno... this is something really hard to do... but i think its for the better"
Thats when I catch on that she was gonna break up with me...
I try to get her to say it to me but she would'nt so I just came out and said "What??? you wanna break up with me is that it???"
She she starts cryin' and sayin' that its because we dont see or talk to each other as much anymore...
I play it cool and told her thats it's cool I wasnt mad or anything and that I understood
and i tell her "Do what you gotta do, whatever makes you feel happy... take care"
And i hang up with her...
She calls back a few minutes later crying and apologizing
and saying that she loved me that is was a mistake what she said and she didnt know what she was thinking blah blah blah
I completly ignore this and told her to take all the time she wanted since she was so confused and all ...
then she says (No Im Sorry I know what I want And I want you! I love you give me another chance...)
I didnt respond to her question and told her that I had to go but MAYBE I'd call her later and talk about it...

Anyway Sorry for the long post lol
But I wanna ask Would it be good if i took her back???
Or just move on? what do you guys think about this
Any comments and questions is cool...

"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.

Hey Demon, good job on countering her crap. This is going to happen again in a week unless you pull this next part off correctly. You have to make her feel like you are care. Staying cold is not going to get you anywhere (experience speaking). It would be wise to talk to her and explain to her that you were very busy on your trip and just because you didn't call her doesn't mean she wasn't on your mind (or some variable). Next, hint that it was pathetic that when she went to Mexico she did the same to you. She probably thought you were cheating, didn't care etc. She should have simply asked what was up.

Right now, you've both been busy and it's understandable that you guys didn't speak for awhile. But I sure as hell would have called my girlfriend within a month. But that's just me.

For obvious reasons, being your interest level and what you did on that trip, your girlfriend is just a toy. You make the next choice.
