"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.

Ok, this my first time in THIS forum. I've always liked this forum for a long time so I decided to tell a story about a situation of mine....^^:;

The girl's name has been changed to [Girl] for privacy sakes^^;;


About 2 1/2 years ago in late august of 2001 I met a girl in my art class named [Girl]. At that point i had secretly admired her then at some point in September i then showed visible signs that i liked her. Then when my birthday came on the 13th, she had made me a cake and i loved it very much. Then during that month we were best friends then i had asked her to be my girlfriend soon after. We had so much in common and we got along really good... we really clicked! We were doing excellent for she is my first real and steady
girlfriend even today. We had encountered some situations and problems but we did do ok on most of them. One thing that would end up later hurting the relationship was that i wanted us to have sex. Her parents wouldn't allow such a thing for her age, but i didn't know any better at that time...i just wanted that from her. It wasn't the only thing on my mind but i had felt that that would strengthen our love. During the summer of 2003 we had officalily broke up because of that. I took it hard like i was natually supposed to since we had been together for a very long time in my mind, 2 and a half years to be
exact. I didn't want to fully let go of her so i still wanted to be her friend. Today as of December 2004, we are extremely great friends. Before the New Year i had moved to another part of the state but i
was still able to reach her by car and hang out and i was doing just that.


Now that i have given you a good picture of us my question is this;
I had and still do really care about [Girl]. Her personality was unique to me, and i loved her a lot and very much respect her and i still do today. I am now in Florida and have been down here for about a half a year now. I have this
feeling inside me of not wanting to fully let go of her. I know how to move on with my life and not be obsessed with her too much like i used to be. My mom says that i should try to not think about [Girl] so much and go on and try to find other girls. But that is just it...i don't want to let go of a love that i had even though we had broken up. During the times we were together after the breakup and before I had moved, sometimes she would hold my hand and allow me to kiss her on the cheek when i leave her house and she hugs me for a while. She knows what i'm feeling. I know that we both feel that since i'm about to move somewhere very far...that we start to realize how
much we really cared for about each other. We are not going to physically see each other again and i feel that i'm going to lose someone really important in my life that could possibly be with in the future. I try to keep in touch of her now and then and she said that she visit me whenever she had the chance. Today as of December, we don't talk very much as in sending emails...she is in college and she is busy and i'm trying to keep busy and continue working on my portfolios for college.

At one point i really cared about this girl and even though we broke up, she still wanted to be best friends and i also wanted that. I just have the feeling that i'm not going to meet another girl as fantastic as [Girl] like that again. I understand that i should accept the fact that we will be distanced...but i just want to keep thinking about a future with me and [Girl]. I keep having the feeling that there was so much potential in our relationship if i hadn't screwed it up by not accepting no for an answer.

What does anyone suggest I should do?

After reading my own post...I might be coming off as a noob here. :rolleyes: but i'd love to hear from the intelligent minds out there about this.
 

"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.

You sir, are the shinning example of an AFC.

I direly suggest you read the bible, and get over that slut.

I'm not gonna argue, you are pretty much AFC material, but if no one ever learned otherwise, just about every guy would be. Anyway, I haven't been with a girl for 2 1/2 years ever, but I can understand. Especially since you went out with her when you were younger, plus since she was your first, you got extremely attached. When I broke up with my first gf, it was really hard for me to imagine myself with anyone else. But what you really need to do is go read more stuff. Read the Bible about losing oneitis and read more posts and articles. Then just find other girls and you'll get you're mind off of her. Picture yourself with other girls. You might think she was great and really loved you untill you think about it a little bit..

Then you'll realize that her saying her parents "wouldn't allow it" was a TOTAL bullsh!t excuse not to have sex. If she liked you enough, she would have just done it, it's not like she would have had to tell her parents.

Just read the Bible and go test the waters. You'll most likely find yourself MUCH more satisfied.

I would do what he said /\ and try to get over her. Try as hard as you can to get with another girl and hopefully, this first girl might get jealous. Believe me, they won't admit it, but everyone gets jealous when you see your ex with someone else...

GivNothingKev & i am me, thank you very much for the honest and positive replies. I've been doing good so far without her and I have kept my mind on other events. I shall look over the Bible some more.

Once again, thank you. Your replies are very much apperiacted
 

"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.
