HAHA... good one. I get it!
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.

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.
Wow. Just stumbled into this thread. Holy crap it gave me goosebumps. I've had more than a few BPD women in my life including my most recent ex. aliasguy hit it on the head. That's why you love to mess around with these BPD women but never marry one.aliasguy said:You're right. The crazies f*ck SO well.
She calls you when her car breaks down. When she needs help moving. When some guy she's actually dating treats her badly.
You're the listener. The reliable one. The guy who would treat her so much better, if she'd just open her eyes.
She won't. You trained her to see you as the low-effort option — the friend who requires zero risk and zero investment. Every favor dug the hole deeper.
The "22 Rules" break the pattern. You'll stop auditioning for a role she already cast and become the man she chases instead. It starts with Rule 1.
Yeah I showed her. There's a lot of good info in this thread she can learn from.Bible_Belt said:I also sent the girl in question a link to this thread so she can read the valuable few first posts.
wtf? Tell me you are joking about that.
Do I just let myself accept the fact she is going to fvck other guys?
Yes. Everything went wrong because you showed jealousy. My bpd girl usually has a flock of guys hitting on her. I have another gf and could care less.
THis was my experience also from wasting 2006 on a BPD woman.drmeathead said:GET AWAY...or be miserable and heartbroken. it is your call.

YEs that is true ,BUT you need to be willing to accept the inevitable brain damage that she will cause you..Bible_Belt said:but the sex....the sex is so good...my bpd girl is asleep in my bed right now.
Welcome to this board - your experience with a disturbed woman is something that a lot of us share here.gadd1966 said:I am new to this site so I Wish to respond. When you were in relationship with someone with BPD traits did you yourself ever feel like you were being pulled in so many directions, feeling as if you were about to go crazy. Did it ever feel that no matter what you did it was never enough?? or that one minute they wanted to be with you and the next they no longer did????? that their mood swings could go from 0-100 in a second flat??? I ask becasue this was my experience. All I can say is that I never felt so crazy, so confussed and bewildered in all my life. All of my friends thought she was odd and strange but I never paid attention- I thought she was exciting and interesting, in the beginning. Toward the end the psuh pull, go away closer routine jsut about drove me insane!! She has had tremendous amount of sexual abuse in the past, starting at age 2 all the way through teen age years. My relationship with her was beyond reason at times- I'm still recovering.

gadd1966 said:Alot of it rings a bell- much in the beginning didn't ring true until the end. She always said she was the one to end relationships- no tte other way around. Overall I think I offered more commitment than need be- she for the most part determined how fast things would, where they would go, how fast it would- manily it was all on her terms. She had prior hx of seeling drugs for sex and sex for drugs. Sh e is by far more street smart than I am. SHe grew up in the city where as I didn't. She has far more life experience than I do- plus she has been "out there" on the wild side/ dark side than I would ever care to go myself. But I don't to paint her as all bad- she's not. and certainly i have my own issues as well that proably didn't help matters- and everyone said STAY AWAY She SEEMs ODD- she is a professional and makes a good living- its her personal realionships with men that seem to have been chaotic. she has had alot of trauma in her life. She can move so quick to being a vulnerable little girl to confident adult- its just strange. perhaps I have been too NICE in all this- most others would say I'm too nice- so I learned the hard way
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.
