"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.

Well, at first I'll share "the breakup" story:

"I loved my girl and she loved me back. We had been together for like 1,5years. One day she got this free training lesson flyer from a gym close to home. She was thinking of not going, and i was like pushing her to it. I said it could be good for her cuz i love to train. Well, she listened to me and went. She liked it and signed up at the gym and started training regulary. 3 weeks after the first training lesson she told me that she hadn't got the same feelings for me any longer and it would be wrong to continue. This came like lightning from clear sky. 1 week earlier we had just been laying in bed and she told me that she would have given up life if she hadn't had me (she has experienced alot of family & work related problems, which i helped her through). But suddenly everything we had said and done together didn't matter any more. I tried to make her come to senses, but she had made her mind. She wouldn't give me a second chance. I packed my things and moved home to my parents totally heartbroken. Some days later I found out she was dating the training instructor. Yeahyy, great!! F**** *****!!! Absolutly incredible."

So thats the story, now 1 month and 3 weeks has pasted since the breakup. I've sent her two letters during this time (together with picture cd's from our vacations). In the letters I wrote how decieved I felt and so on... I haven't talked to her at all, but last day I got a letter where she explained the abscense of communication from her side. She said that she didn't want me to get more hurt and that she didn't break up because of the new guy, but because she just didn't feel I gave her enough attention (!!). However, i don't know what to believe... I feel she have some right in saying that cuz of the way she is (she is very needy and wants to be in center all the time, thats just her personality, and no days has passed in 1,5years without talking to her).

Well, it's complicated. I still miss her like crazy from time to time. But what should i do now? I'm thinking every day about sending her a text message explaining I would never talk to her again cuz she has totally ****** me up! I respect her decision, but she has no respect when she starts dating a guy just days after the breakup, I thought she was a "better" person than that. And that I thought she wanted to keep me as a friend (after 1,5years) and she has now ****** that up too. I know this isn't the way to go, but I need to get it out in some way. How should I proceed? It's christmas, should I send her some kind of message? Or just ignore her? Are there any ways that I can turn this situation half around? Should I act like Im already over her? I just want her to feel the loss. hehe, I sound like a crazy guy when I write this, but I can assure you Im not, im sure others have felt the same "anger" :)
 

"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"

She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.

Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.

The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.

Next her man,don't let her get to you.And what's all this about "I respect her decision, but she has no respect when she starts dating a guy just days after the breakup" , you were not married or something and she became a widow.And by the way,she was dating him before the breakup.

NO you don't send her a message!
NO you don't send her a card!
NO you don't call her!
NO contact what so ever!
She treated you like CRAP! Why would you want to go back to her so she could do that again?????????

What you do is go out and find another girl to date. Living well is the best revenge.
This new guy won't be nearly as fun as she thinks he will be. He'll be very critical of her body. (As a trainer's GF she has to look perfect all the time. It's a matter of pride for him.) She'll also get jealous of all the other women he trains, she'll be FIGHTING to keep his attention. And if he's a good trainer, he'll have to work alot, so he won't have a lot of time for her either.

She'll realize her error, but by that time you'll be over her and on to another girl!

"Why Women Dump the Guys Who Try the Hardest"

You paid for dinner. You drove. You said "whatever you want is fine" every single time. All the effort, no expectations.

And she left anyway — probably for a guy who makes her pick up the pizza.

Painful. Also predictable. Her mind quietly concludes that anything requiring zero effort from her is worth exactly zero. You became a free sample, and free samples get taken for granted.

The 22 Rules flip the dynamic. Small shifts that get her investing effort, money, and time in you — until SHE'S the one afraid of losing YOU.
