As for high IL, how do you guys personally do that with your GF.
I'd imagine anti-dump's advice of seeing her once a week doesn't appy anymore..
I've already read all the articles on the Bible about LTRS, but they leave much to be desired for.. . . Thanks
I'll give you some advice that works for me since my GF is still friends with a few of her EXs and so I hear about lunches they had together and I see them at parties and since we all are cyclists, we literally ride in some of the same crowds.
What I do is enjoy it. I stay in the mindset that I am with a woman who they loss out on. More so, I make sure that she knows that she is even more lucky. I do this by making sure her girlfriends always have a nice word to say about me. How do I do that? I DJ them, what else!!!
Understand that I never close on any of them but I do the things that make them feel good. I'm friendly, confident and funny with all of them so whenever they see me, they are genuinely glad that I am there. They even go to the extent of asking my GF if I would mind tagging along on some of their outing.
The key to this is that it is a MAJOR confidence booster and my GF can tell. Luckily for her she is a confident woman so she doesn't get overly jealous, rather she keeps herself in check. But no matter how much I flirt with other women, I always flirt with her the most and I do it in front of her friends. This helps boost her ego too.
In a nutshell women keep their IL high when their guy shows them respect, romance and affection. If you give her those things and stay calm and confident yourself, everything is a cake walk. As long as you stay a DJ and treat your woman well (who should be giving, flexible and have high integrity), you will be fine.
