"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.

For those who have noticed my posts over the past few months, i m always the guy who says cut off all contact with your ex! you need a clean break and a fresh start!. I always argue that the faster you forget about the faster you can move on, which is the ultimate goal. So cut off all communications with her!

well, that conviction came in part from experience, as I also had to let go of a girl who I was deeply attracted to (i guess i can say i was in love with her, whatever that means). But i stuck to my guts ever since and have not contacted her or returned or messages/calls. What made it easier for me is also that i moved more than 1000 miles away from her...

Anyways, she has been desperately trying to talk to me, always drunk dialling late at night on weekends and txting me during the weekdays. Now, her best (girl) friend, who is a mutual friend, called me, basically telling me I should "do the mature thing" and call my ex. That s some more matrix bullshyt right there, trying to make me look bad for not talking to her. Then she tells me that my ex has been trying to contact me (obviously i know that...), that she is starting to have "mental problems" (i know that all too well!) and that she really worries about me. The last thing our friend said really shocked me: i m not calling her because i still love her!

The point of my post was to show a real life example to all those who i advise to cut contact with the ex's. You WILL move on. you WILL stop caring about her. your life will go on, and some day you ll hear that your ex was committed in a mental institution because her pre-existing disorders got out of control when she realized how good of a catch she let go. But by that time you ll be so indifferent to her problems that it won't even feel like revenge. or maybe just a little bit...
 

"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.

i just heard through a good friend of mine, who used to date my ex's best friend, that my ex (of 3.5 yrs, broke up 1.5 yrs ago), is now having regrets about the guy she picked up right after we broke up. She moved to another city for him, and now shes having regrets, and saying she thinks she moved on too fast. Oh well. :crackup:

Amen. When you're right, you're right. The truth is the truth.

what really surprised me the most was how our mutual friend expects me to be there for my ex, now that it seems she cannot deal with her problems on her own, even though i haven't contacted her in 8 months...

this goes to show how hard the captain-save-a-ho mentality is reinforced in today's society.
 

"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.
