"She's Out of Your League"

You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.

Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.

She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.

Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.

I know you can't take a call right now, but I have to get this off of my chest:

I'm sorry I unintentionally led you on to thinking you could have me under your terms. As a serial monogamist, I think letting someone in emotionally and being content with them having sex with other people is equivalent to having your cake and eating it too.

The way I acted around you was no different than how I would act around a girlfriend. Outside of labels, you acted how a girlfriend would act, too. This sort of interaction is unhealthy between a serial monogamist and a polyamorist. Therefore, I don't think we should see each other anymore.

Regardless, I enjoyed the time I spent with you and I still think you're a great person. Best of luck with everything.

If it were me, I would tell this to her face. However, at hand, the letter is well articulated and contains a very mature message that often gets lost in this community.

Is she your academic colleague in social sciences at Oxford university ?

If not then i think that was unnecessary.

Is she your girlfriend??? Nope.

So no need to give her a break up letter. Just ignore her from now on. If she asks why tell her your looking for a serious relationship.
 

"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.
