"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.

When the ex-girlfriend comes crawling back showing absolutely no dignity?

Just got a random text, "How are you?"

I send back "good"

She then calls me, starts rambling about her spring break, and then drops a nice gem about how she was seeing some guy and they broke up. (He dumped her ass, just like I did -- or she got bored of him)

I stopped her dead in her tracks, after laughing, told her I didn't have time for this story, good luck.

She has been texting me without me replying for a few hours. About how we need to go get a drink together and catch up.

Nothing gives me a bigger grin than this.
 

"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.

Just about all of my ex's come back eventually, but usually not for a few months - by which time I have written them off forever.

I usually hold on for the first month or 2 because I know that once I really let go, I'll never like them again.

I was like this for a while.

Now, it's like after a week, I am done.

As fvcked up as it is, I think its one of the best feelings in the world. But even I know that the feeling is only feeding my ego...You feel good when an ex crawls back because it makes you think your such a hot sh!t. One can't let it go to your head all the time...
