"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.

How do you deal with a girl whose not over her past bf?

She never talks to you about him, even when they were going out, but you know shes not over him!

Is it a case of getting as far away as possible?

Also another question id like to ask, this is based on me rather than some girl, even tho it sounds like the same sort of thing (Its not)

But....What do you do when you know somethings bad for you but you still cant let it go?

“The 22 Rules That Flip the Script With Women… And How You Can Use Them Tonight”

Most guys accidentally kill attraction before they even speak. They assume they need a bigger bank account, a better physique, or smoother lines. They miss the point.

Female desire operates on a specific set of psychological triggers.  Break them, and you're invisible. Follow them, and you become magnetic.

I learned this the hard way. Years of freezing up. Getting friend-zoned. Watching other guys walk away with the girl I wanted. Then I discovered a set of 22 simple rules that rewired my entire approach.

Let her go.

Give her space to sort out her feelings. It's not going to do either one of you any good to stay together if she's not over her ex.

And, if something is bad for you, you have to get the courage to let go, or else it will destroy you.

im in the same sisuatuon

i told the the girl straight up.. i wanna take things slower because i know u still have feelings for ur ex and i dont wanna be a the rebound guy

she agreed and said cool

she doesnt wanna hook up with him.. thats a fact.. haha she even tells me that exs are named "exs" for a reason... i never could hook up with them back..

im taking this dating **** long as hell.. i would say just about 2-3 months then i will see about a commitment..

u have to let her know ur better than him BUT at the same time u cant take shiit from her.. if shes using u as a emontional tampon... tell her to fuk off.

when do u guys think its safe to move closer toward an commitment? to aviod being the rebound guy

I've been in this situation many times and you can't win. As long as she feels an emotional connection with another guy, you can only come second, regardless of whether you're the coolest, best looking, richest or smartest cat on the block! Emotional attachment overpowers all logic and even sexual attraction.

Like T Square said, back off and let her come to terms with her feelings.

You could stick around as her mate (note: NOT her councellor or shoulder to cry on!) for now, show her a good time and help distract her from her ex. But don't pin your hopes on her (or any one girl). Keep your options open and keep dating other women!
 

"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.

Defintely DO NOT get emotionally involved. I just got out of the same situation. Everyone, including her, knew how much better of a guy i am than her ex, however she kept finding her self torn between the two. Eventually, so much drama went on that I ended it because it was starting to bring me down.

Anyway, you can still try to get with her, but honestly man do not emotionally invest yourself in to this girl. Do you really want a chic that wants some other guy also?
