"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"

You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.

Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.

Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.

Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.

Jesus, I don't think you stick with a woman just because "she treats you good".................I could probably find a million girls who will treat me good, but that doesn't mean that they are the one.

I think you have done the right thing, because there is no point in prolonging your own misery.. You have to do what makes you happy, and if for some reason you guys belong together then some time apart may show this to ya.

I support your move and I think you did with dignity......carry on.
 

"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"

You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.

For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.

Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.

The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.

She and I are meeting in 20 minutes to return belongings to one another and she apparently has a gift she wants to give me. She texted me today saying "Im sorry babe this is harder than i thought. I miss u. Love u 2 more than ul ever kno."

I was miserable in the last part of our relationship. The spark was gone. I think kingwilliam hit the nail on the head.

As for those who are thinking this was a foolish move and that there won't be another woman like her perhaps you are right perhaps you are not.

I truly believe I am doing both of us a favor by ending it now. Thank you to all the members here for their support, advice and wisdom.

Yo Commander Charm,


Walk the path you have chosen with your head held HIGH, soldier. If you KNOW that your decision didn't come from a place of maliciousness or malevolence------then carry NO guilt with you.

Because I believe if Shakespeare were a DJ here, he would have given you THE BEST advice when he wrote THIS line:

"To thine OWN SELF, be true."



Peace...one day.
