You shouldn't explain yourself to her even though you have the natural urge to. (don't tell her your next 6 months dating plan)
your just making your self look weak and AFC to her.

make of it whatever you feel and move on.

continuing to think about it will only hurt.

Just move on Brother.

Don't contact her again.

You gotta understand bro that, "Life is all about the journey, not the destination" (Remeber that)

You have to go No-Contact for at least 30 days straight (95% of the time they start wondering why you are not contacting them, and thinking that you moved on!! (because these chix love for you to suffer, when they think you are living life to the fullest AS WELL AS YOU SHOULD!.. Then they get into that sad depressed zone when they start questioning if they have made the right decision by leaving YOU!..) ....

1) GO 30 DAYS WITHOUT ANY CONTACT WITH HER NO EMAILS, NO PHONE CALLS, NO TEXTS, NOT EVEN GOING ON HER FACEBOOK!! (OUT OF SIGHT OUT OF MIND)

2) TAKE ON ACTIVITIES AND HOBBIES GO PICK UP MORE GIRLS MAN (AFTER A FEW SUCCESSFUL GIRLS YOU'LL REALIZE YOUR GIRL WASNT THAT SPECIAL)

3) TIME HEALS EVERYTHING= HALF TRUE,, THE OTHER HALF DEPENDS ON WHAT YOU DO WITH YOUR TIME... AND THATS TO BE ACTIVE!

IF YOU NEED HELP WITH ANYTHING LET ME KNOW... I WENT THRU THIS ROUGH TIME 6 MONTHS AGO....

Hey man, thx for the reply.

Im worried, what if 30 days pass by and nothing happens. She told ME to contact HER, in mannny months. Its as if she doesnt care and leaves it up to me.

If she can be so cold and callous to me, even after 30 days I dont think she is going to want to talk to me or even call me.

So I have to just let her go because when the 30 day mark comes and goes Im going to feel sad if she doesn't call me or msg me.

Do yourself a favor and don't ever talk to this girl again.

harkkam08 said:
Well I sent her a few txts to say goodbye and basically this is what she said.

"I wont be against the idea if you contact me mannyy months from now...its just that I kept saying no because you wanted three or so months. Contact me when ur ready...and I mean truly ready. If you havnt changed truely, then obviously ill know right from the start and never ever try with u again. However many months from now, I dont know where ill be. Or whom ill be with. But it never hurts to try ;) lots of luck and goodluck."
Translation:

If in a few months from now, I happen to be single... feel free to try and ask me out. Of course, I won't go out with you, but I'd love all the attention that you can shower upon me. I WILL, however, lead you on into believing that you might get a chance at this... because of course, if I am single, well, I'd love to have a few orbiters around me.

I love to have men chase after me, even if I have zero intentions of getting with them. MAYBE if you magically turn yourself into say... Brad Pitt... I'd totally date you, but since that won't happen, nice try.

Don't delete my phone number so that in a few months, once I'm bored and have run through a list of all of my prospects, I can randomly text you just to see if you're still interested and still will jump at the chance of seeing me or even go out with me... even if I could care less.

I then said "well I dont plan on dating or hooking up with anyone for six months because I want to take this time to work on myself and you already know how I feel about your dating someone"
Don't ever show your full hand again. Why are you telling her that you have a six month plan that doesn't involve women? You essentially told her that you're going to be waiting for her... for the next six months.

Are you nuts?

Even if that wasn't your intention, that's what she took from it.

Do yourself a REAL favor, move on from this one. There's nothing left there. And the day she texts you again (AND SHE WILL), ignore it and delete.

Ma man.. You dont need this chick your in an emotion rush and needy as hell..

30 days of no contact is for YOU!!!! to forget about her.... And you will... once your emotions dry down youll think more logical and clearly again.. and you will see your EX from OUR point of view!

So take this time to heal brotha

So its been about three week since I havent contacted her. The pain seems to be decreasing as in having a memory of her doesn't make it feel like my chest has exploded.

However I feel like I am getting depressed, I wake up and I watch TV and go to school and come home. I go to the gym with my younger brother and my younger brothers best friend almost everyday to keep myself focused on something to give me purpose.

I am also taking classes as an EMT so that I can work in a volunteer ambulance Core.

I am also taking summer classes in my college to finish up and graduate soon.

----

However I dont have any friends. My good friend from HS is in florida and I am in NY my other friend is in Connecticut.

I have literally have no friends to do anything with. I am isolated totally.

----

This isolation makes me feel bad, I start to miss my ex more and more, and I start remembering all the wonderful times we had. I would do anything to get her back and take these feelings away.

Its not so much her I think, maybe, but the loneliness of not having someone to hold, to kiss, to share my day with and KNOW that they are there for you and you are there for them.

I feel ALONE, like drift wood. When I was with her at least I could call her up and go to the beach, or go watch a movie or just make love in my car.

She had traits that now I look objectively that a lot of women dont have. She was gentle and kind and caring, she never started fights with me even though I did with her. She came from a poor family and she was very humble and respectful toward society and people and she treated everyone with kindness.

She loved being free and doing silly things at the spur of the moment, and I always used to get embarrassed at her for that. In my GUT i know that she might not be the ONLY one that I will love but she was a woman who I will always wonder about.

She didnt have health care, and sometimes barely any food to eat. She worked hard for a living helping her parents support their family. I came from a middle class family.

My parents didn't like her, because she had a different religion than I did, which we broke up and got back together many times and she eventually decided to convert because she said "i love you and dont want to loose you"

Thats ACTION on her part. We would go to the beach and she would make me take my shows off and chase her and we would fall down on each other and kiss each other. We would play in the snow and jump on top of each other and play wrestle all the time.

One time we were on the Boardwalk and a lady was crying, my ex got up mid sentence and walked over to the woman and said "hey is everything okay sweetie" and I just stood there amazed at her ability to care.

I remember one time we were at a Mcdonalds and there was a person throwing up and feeling sick she was with a guy who didnt know how to take care of her. The manager threw them out, me and my ex both decided to help them and we got them water and I called the ambulance. My ex got down and patted her on the back and made sure she was feeling okay even got some puke on her shirt. The cops came and said "Wow your girlfriend is really nice man" and I said "I know Im lucky" he said "thank you so much"

She loved to sing and do covers of songs. Sometimes she would make me hold her hand and dance with her while we were walking and we heard some music. One day we were at my school and she told me to go up a flight of stairs and say "I love you" and I so badly wanted to, it seemed like fun and exciting like pushing my boundaries.

SHE was INTO the community in fact I had met her while she was hanging out with some PUA's. She was shy and quiet and she had decided to change her life and was becoming more social and I met some PUA's my younger brother had known and she was with them.

She had a hard life, her mother was hospitalized for mental problems and she was very lonely within the first few months of our relationship so I was always there for her, making her feel better.

We got through the issue of our parents being against our religious differences but that took a tole on our relationship.

I was insecure in the relationship and I would start fights with her, and every time I did we would break up. We had broken up about 3 times in the last six months.

Then the final blow, I found out she HAD herpes. SHE had told me but i had no idea what HERPES was. Until I saw it in a text book while studying for a class. I got so scared I dumped her. Told her "The relationship isnt solid, we keep breaking up, I cant risk catching the Lip kind of herpes because of this"

She got so angry and upset and told me that "I never really broke up with you I just wanted you to change because you would never listen to me and I even cried for you to change" Which is true we would argue and I only took her serious when she would break up with me.

And she was upset that I dropped her "You let all of our memories and love go when you left over herpes, its like I didnt even matter"

I later learned that the lip kind of herpes is very common over 50% of people have it.

Many times during the month that I pleaded to her she told me "After the herpes incident I lost all desire to be with you"

She said "I realized you will never love me like I need you to" and "If you had HIV I still would be with you and not leave you, and you left me for what"

I apologized so much to her for my mistake and over reacting but everyday I apologized and asked for a second chance it got worse and worse and eventually boiled down to

and "I knew all along you arent right for me, now that I am not with you I have no doubts so thats why I feel this is right for me"

and "leave me alone now" and "You hurt me for a year get over it"

-----

I would be driving my car and she would be there smiling at me and Id say something funny and she would kiss me on the cheek. We would be on the beach and I would watch her jump into the water and just try to drag me in.

We would go to Manhattan and we would sit in union square and listen to all the musicians playing and make out on the benches and we would walk the city streets finding new places we had never been to before.

-------

Now I am alone, and it just sucks. The place that I once was and the place that I am now in. Seems like a dream


-----

I started lots of fights with her, over many things, about her being late, her attitude towards things, her clothing choices, her choice to help her family with money, how many kids she wanted, what kind of values we would teach the kids. We FOUGHT and argued about all of these things. But not because we were incompatible but because I was CONTROLLING.

We planned on living together and she even told her dad she was moving out to live with me.

I look back and think to those fights we had and how Utterly STUPID the things I used to say. I look back and realized how immature it was even argue about these things so early in a relationship but we were very close and really had decided to be with each other. Even then I had no RIGHT to be controlling and I should have loved her for the choices that SHE wanted to make and many time she would want to COMPROMISE and I told her "NO" its my way or the highway. She told me

"SO many of our dates were filled with fights, you had to always come out on top and you didnt care about how you were hurting me"

I acted like a Jerk and just railroaded her all the time.

----

Its hard getting over a person you loved and know it was YOUR fault for SO many of the mistakes that were made.

I dont want to put her on a pedastal but she was really the WOMAN I wanted to be with. She had what I wanted.

Right person wrong time

----

Now I have no friends, I am lonely and I dont even want to look at women. I have never been so hurt and destroyed in my life. Sometimes it feels like life isnt worth living

How do you deal with the loneliness slick?

Have you forced yourself to date other even when you didnt want to?

Plus I dont have any friends and dont really have the energy to make new ones.

I dont even feel like talking to people. Kind of like just sink into my bed or watch movies all day.

harkkam08,

Ordinarily when I read posts like this, I wish I could reach through the screen to strangle the nonsense out of the author :trouble: Why? Because I once was where you are now, and it was that experience and the time I now realize I wasted on it and her that made me realize I was doing something very wrong and HAD TO CHANGE. I also met some nearby SoSuave members who have since become good friends and they helped to point me in the right direction.

However, you seem like you are in bad shape right now. So I feel a more effective solution than the violent unbridled brutality I referenced above will be to accurately translate your musings. When you see what you really are saying, I think even you will be disgusted with you.

It's her, no question about that.

Wow, how could you let her go? Here you have the only woman in the U.S., the only one out of at least 150 million others who has this perfect combination. This free spirit, this fragile vase, who wouldn't hurt a fly, and now she's gone. How can you possibly go on?

harkkam08 said:

With health care costs rising nearly 15% - 20% a year, this is hardly a surprise.

A-HA! Here's the PROOF that she still loves you and that there is STILL A CHANCE she will come back! Oh, but wait...

Again, no other woman could possibly do any of those things. Maybe she should consider becoming a Nurse. She could make decent money, and provide health care to her family that can't afford it.

WHOA, MAN! This is why if you ever had any chance of a relationship with her, it no longer exists. What man ALLOWS a woman to MAKE HIM HOLD HER HAND? What man would even entertain the idea of ascending a flight of stairs to proclaim his love for a woman as if he were a mere character in some fairy-tale most likely authored by a girl? This is not pushing your boundaries, it's pushing your male dominance out of existence. In the PUA world, pushing your boundaries means getting her to do different stuff in the sack.

Nice going, Romeo. You helped Juliet feel better, just like a good FRIEND would. But you know, things still could have worked out if not for that darn religion problem...

You were needy. You weren't sure what to do with her. I'm sure she did things that bothered you and you couldn't figure out why she would do them. She saw deficiencies and insecurities in you and she realized you weren't the MAN she first thought you were.

harkkam08 said:

You're 24 years old and DIDN'T KNOW WHAT HERPES IS? Under what rock have you been hiding? I can smell inexperience here, and I have no idea where you are. She was right in front of you...

There was a time early in your relationship she wanted you to change, to grow into the man she wanted. You didn't change, time passed, other men came
harkkam08 said:

She said "I realized you will never love me like I need you to" and "If you had HIV I still would be with you and not leave you, and you left me for what"
And who can blame her? Here she takes care of total strangers. Like a woman crying on the beach and a drunk girl who is puking her guts out at McDonald's. And you dump her because of a cold-sore. Shame on you!

harkkam08 said:
I apologized so much to her for my mistake and over reacting but everyday I apologized and asked for a second chance it got worse and worse and eventually boiled down to "I knew all along you arent right for me, now that I am not with you I have no doubts so thats why I feel this is right for me" and "leave me alone now" and "You hurt me for a year get over it"
Sounds like you lost your masculinity on the beach... or at McDonald's...

You were in way over your head here. These things are discussed only when a commitment has been made. Not during dating. You were planning your life around her, and some preferences she had seemed incompatible with your plans. You were controlling? What does this mean? That you voiced your opinions and preferences? Is that what you mean by control? That you weren't a simple yes man to this fragile angel of mercy?

Well, you did put her up on a pedestal. Not just now, but when you were dating her. You glorified her, let her lead you, you looked up to her. And she looked down on you. As every woman would.

harkkam08 said:

This is how you should view the time you spent in this relationship. I wouldn't be proud of the boy in that situation either. This is the painful realization an AFC has to go through before he shutters that element of his character forever. Now I'm going to deal you the final blow...

THIS GIRL IS GONE FROM YOUR LIFE FOREVER. SHE WILL NOT CHANGE HER MIND.

If anything, she will only contact you if she is bored and when she is not being pounded by one of the PUAs your younger brother knows (Yes, this fragile angel does enjoy sex, and don't worry, it may be painful for her but she won't break and she will enjoy it). She may contact you to tease your emotions, to make you think you have a chance. But you don't, and she doesn't want a relationship with the boy who cherished her company and every magical moment you spent with her.

A woman wants a man who will LEAD, not a boy who she can lead into the ocean or up a stair case. A woman wants a man who will kiss her in the car when he feels like it, not a boy who waits for his fair maiden to kiss her. A woman wants a man who understands the difference between a cold-sore and Herpes. A woman wants a man who is decisive and can take charge. In short, a woman wants a MAN.

Yeah I know she Isnt coming back. I dont expect her to, I hurt her more than enough.

I would grab and kiss her all the time. I was just alluding to the fact that she was a good woman that had affection. I know how to be a MAN, our sex life was great yada yada.

She was the woman I wanted to be with. I brought my value down by fighting over things that were stupid and I should have not done that. I wish I had been more secure.

THe only mistake I made was acting insecure and not being secure in things.

Its just so painful to even discuss this issue. I am just alone and miss her company. The thought of her being with another guy having sex with him, does hurt me just imagining it her taking her clothes of another man and enjoying it just kills me inside. But what can I do now I got to accept the truth that she will or already has.



-------

The pain sucks because I have dated women before her, I had two LTR's before her. I have hooked up with about 7-8 girls so Im not inexperienced it just I wanted her to be the one.

I wasnt ready and she slipped from my fingers.

Tell me about regretsville.

What can I do now? I dont have any friends to even make me feel better.

Im thinking about seeing a therapist.

The intent of my reply was NOT to make him feel better. I think I made that entirely obvious from the beginning of my reply, which was this:

Ordinarily when I read posts like this, I wish I could reach through the screen to strangle the nonsense out of the author :trouble: Why? Because I once was where you are now, and it was that experience and the time I now realize I wasted on it and her that made me realize I was doing something very wrong and HAD TO CHANGE. I also met some nearby SoSuave members who have since become good friends and they helped to point me in the right direction.

However, you seem like you are in bad shape right now. So I feel a more effective solution than the violent unbridled brutality I referenced above will be to accurately translate your musings. When you see what you really are saying, I think even you will be disgusted with you.
The intent of my reply was to EDUCATE him. What he needs now is not everyone sobbing with him which may only give him the false sense that he was entirely correct in the actions on his part, when it was those actions that caused this to fail. I don't like that he feels so sad, but any relationship ending will make you feel sad. And the reason harkkam08 feels even worse than just sad is because he does not yet completely understand that he has to let this go, and he is placing all the blame on himself for the wrong reasons yet still placing his ex-GF on a pedestal. His last reply proves that:

harkkam08 said:
I brought my value down by fighting over things that were stupid and I should have not done that. I wish I had been more secure.
I think what harkkam08 is trying to say here is that he had one point of view and she had another. Because he asserted his point of view, thus his male dominance, and she apparently did not win the argument, that the fight was stupid and he shouldn't have made such assertions. Essentially, he feels he should not have stood up for himself because doing so irreparably hurt her and caused her to end the relationship. A man has the RIGHT to assert his point of view because a man is an equal partner in a relationship.

harkkam08 will not feel better overnight. This will take time, but meanwhile he should learn what he did wrong and why his ex-GF is not a delicate vase that he broke by being a little dominant. She did not break off their relationship because he was dominant and won a few arguments, she broke it off because he was needy, became too much of a friend (AFC), and, ultimately - by his own admission - was insecure.

Lastly, I really understand where harkkam08 is coming from because I was once there. Suffice it to say, when my Oneitis fell apart - under very different circumstances incidentally - I was literally crushed. Every day was painful. I would get very emotional at times. Daily activities and work were bogged down with constant thoughts of her. It was as if half my brain was with me and the other half elsewhere wondering what happened. It took me a long time to get over it and her, and now I look back and wish I had not invested the time and efforts I did into both her, and wondering what happened. During this time, I read this site and met people near to me who helped me to understand what I did wrong. And I did a lot of things wrong. I learned about Oneitis the hard way. I am determined to not allow it to happen to me again.

Slick101, you want me to tell him what to do next? I can't do that. All he can do is read through this thread and try and learn from all the replies. At that point, he will be better educated to make that decision himself. But if I was in his place, I would certainly be upset about the relationship ending, but I would try to understand that it was not because he asserted himself while she did all these wonderful things for strangers. It was because he fell into the trap many guys fall into when they get advanced in a relationship, they start to become complacent, less masculine, start allowing the woman to make decisions, and somewhere amongst all of that, they essentially turn AFC.

Until harkkam08 realizes that she did not end the relationship because he hurt her, but rather because he turned AFC and insecure, he will continue to have the real bad emotional pain he is enduring right now.

I'm sure he will have several good relationships to follow. Now that he is learning the mistakes he made here, hopefully he will not repeat them. I look forward to eventually reading about his next relationship and how successful it is coming along.
