Did you ever notice that girls ALWAYS seem to find a new love "BEFORE" you break up so that they run right to this person the next day and are together with them.
DAMN, If I had known this was going to happen I would have had someone in the waiting to run to and start seeing.
In all reality I had a good one and blew it off. So naturally now comes the time for the next few weeks where I have to sit and think about what I lost.
I have already been with someone but it didn't feel the same at all so who knows.
Sometimes I guess you have to just realize that you ****ed up and theres nothing you can do that can bring them back.
I am SURE almost POSITIVE Ill get blasted for this but I would bet that almost EVERY guy on this site thinks about one certain girl they were with and wished it could have worked out better.
Call me AFC But I guess I have learned that when you find someone whos pretty special you need to drop the bull**** and be there for them, do things for them, be the best BF you can be or some mother prick is going to do it for them and your history.
Nah I don't think it's AFC to think a girl is special.
But...if she's your ONLY real option, then she's going to appear more special than she really is. If you know you could get with several other chicks at the drop of a hat, and you STILL found this one truly appealing, then you might have something special.
And about "dropping the bullsh*t" and being a "good boyfriend"...does something make you think that you can't be a good boyfriend and be a DJ?
I swear, this jerk/nice-guy obsession is really detrimental to the people on this board.
You can be a good boyfriend. You SHOULD be a good boyfriend if you believe she has proven herself worthy. Now...this doesn't mean go become her tool. You have to respect yourself first, and then her. You need to be a man who loves her, and wants her around, but at the core of things doesn't *need* her. A man who will put his foot down.
This doesn't mean you can't do anything for her. The best way to do things for her is to do them spontaneously, randomly, and without her prompting.
You'll learn how to manage yourself in a LTR over time. It is the hardest area of DJ-ing...one that this board cannot help you with very much b/c it's neccessarily based on YOU and not a set of 'techniques', and, despite their best attempts, the other members here cannot help you b/c they cannot understand the specific intricacies of your relationship; nobody can but yourself.
The most important thing you can take from this site is the DJ mindset. It is what will guide you through life and LTR's.
And if it's any consolation-- Last year about this time the chick I had finally gotten as a gf (thanks to this site mainly) after having a long-ass AFC 'crush' , broke up with me. She started dating her old ex. I got pretty down...the DJ mindset I was cultivating helped me not get too depressed...but I seriously thought I would never find a girl that special again. That all the other ones would pale in comparison. That I could never feel that way about a girl again.
Now...I've just ended a 6 month relationship with a newer girl. And thinking back on that AFC crush girl, even if I could have her, I wouldn't want her. Her 'specialness' faded and I can see things I don't really like.
I got over her due to the "DJ mindset" (girls are not that valuable, I can find another one), getting a good social life, and then eventually having a LTR with another girl. I don't even think about the old one much anymore, even though we still talk.
So just stick with it, the stuff here is really good. You just have to learn how to suit it to yourself. Now that you don't have a gf to worry about, work on improving yourslef, and then move onto finding new chicks.
You'll be over her in no time.
Good luck- -E-Z
