I'd say she is one weird encounter away from filing a restraining order.
Let it go.
I was thinking that it is true that she freak out. But at the same time, maybe she is embarassed to let me know that she is with this ex now. She told me before that she may be abstain from relationship for a few months.
She did told me before that she accidently met this Gary ex and he had called her asking for a meeting. At that time, she told me that she was not sure if she wanted to meet him.
About the restraining order, it's unlikely so. As far as I remember there's 2 recent things that upsets her about me: 1. throwing all her gifts in her knowledge. 2. Dropping her brother's stuff at her place (I assume she'll be upset)
Also, I came to realize that you guys see this from a westen mindset. This is an asian girl we talk about, it may be different in a way we think and act, free sex is frown upon here, if you get caught you probably go to "religion"court. Yes, they eexist here. Even they're still have woman nature, there's a set of values and rules that restrict her behaviours, counciously and uncounciously.
At this point, I haven't been able to let go... there's too much investment there for me, from all of my exes.
NewMan, you said that she probably associate me with neg feelings. That raised another question. What is the other probability?
What I do believe now and use is time (cut contacts) and self control. Well, so far so good. However, as an AFC, I do still look for ways to win her back. It is VERY hard to JUST let it go.
I cannot help it.
I was still thinking to win her back, if she has this negative feelings about me.. as you said NewMan, I must CHANGE. I must first have to neutralize the neg. to zero, maybe by eliciting values, pattering, kino and living well. Keep going doing this as a "friend" who keeps the distance (like meeting her once a week) I MAY accomplish it and finally raise her IL.
I need a lot of opinions on this, if anyone kind enough to bend the DJ rules for me?
At least for practice sake or experience, please do help me think this one out. At least I tried it in a different way to her, at least I got first hand experience. I'll worry about my heart later.
However, if I then decide to proceed with this, I will CERTAINLY keep my options open and keep looking for other dates.
If I go ahead, I will not charge her like a raging bull. Self control is on top of my list for my self improvement, so I'll take to sleep any ideas and strategies here to try make the so called "I'm-Possible" happened. The limit of the impossible is to go beyond it, I'd like to find out how far beyond it is. If, only if I made up my mind on this. Now, again... I'm still not ready. Not yet...
Now, NOT to disrespect and belittle your supports and advices...
I know you guys has shown care and concerns about my own well being and I thank you all sincerely. However, big parts of me is still largely "anchored" to her, as many of you will be able to understand and experienced yourself on various degrees.
Also, you must also consider the amounts of probabilities and how different an asian mind works, which also will produce a different results. This is, in a way, a challenge. There's different cultures, values, religions, and upbringing to be considered.
I'm still undecided how do I go about this. I'm still holding on as strong as I could to not to contact her, while developing my mind and control my heart. I agree 80-90% with DJB, but still, it is written for westerners mindset and cultures.
For the time being, I have no plans on her, and focus my best on myself, whenever I can help it. I hope I don't crack myself on this. In the mean time, I'd like to hear your ideas (other than MOVE ON) on this so I can gear up to achieve it as DJing her. As I see it, there's nothing to loose here since success is build upon the ruins of your cherished plans and failures. No pain no gain. You'll never know until you try.
I know this is not really a DJ thing to do this for you, but consider dating as a numbers game, for me (as a minority ethnic group) it is really a small numbers. O yea, I could always go for non-HB (personality and looks) on the group (which I have one that is more than ready to jump on me), but the HB like she is...rare. I blew it. mmm lets do the statistics... around 50 - 100, for my age group I wanted age 21 - 26, and this is for 2 major cities I traveled and lived in), see... not like 17.000 something like in the states there. You understand now why it is hard for me. Other ethnic for dating/marriage is not an option.
