Why "Whatever You Want" Keeps You Single

She says the movie looks dumb; you suddenly agree. She tests you with a little attitude; you apologize for nothing.

You think you're being easy to get along with. She reads something else entirely: a man with no edges. Nothing to hold on to. No friction, no tension, no reason to wonder what he really thinks.

The "22 Rules" taught me to push back — playfully, calmly, without needing her approval. Strange things happened after that.

So I have a new girlfriend, only known her for about 3 months now.
And apparently my ex, visited her "qqzone", which is facebook for china. Then she asks me for her number so she can talk to her. I didn't ask why.
And other times before she's mentioned becoming friends with my ex or asking just talking to her. But last night we were talking online and I flat out just said I would feel uncomfortable with this situation. She then tried to say she'd be comfortable with me being friends with her ex bf. But I still said no.


- First of all, I don't exactly know why she wants this. I should've asked. I think I asked before and she casually just said wants to be friends.

- Secondly, I believe she's going to ask her things like why we broke up and blah blah. I'm not afraid of anything, although I did cheat on my ex; my ex is still in love with me but I doubt she'd do anything to hurt my new relationship.

- Thirdly, I am very uncomfortable with my gf and new gf being friends. So far my gf has asked me and did not go ahead with any actions of this nature behind my back, so she's still on my good side.


So what do you think? Did I do the right thing and just said no? What would you do? How better to explain the situation to my girlfriend so she understands how I feel.
 

"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.

Better explain the situation? What the f**k? This situation should need no explanation...Is your girlfriend 12?

Your ex is your ex for a reason. She's in your past. If your new girlfriend can't understand this, then she shouldn't be your girlfriend.

Weird stuff like this would make me dump a girl. Or at least demote her from "girlfriend prospect" to "f**k buddy". I damn sure wouldn't trust a girl who'd think it was normal to want to befriend my ex.
