    Don't take this the wrong way CRC, but unless you are in a homosexual relationship, don't be the b**** in a relationship.

    You're a man, so ball up and let her know what you want, and leave the ball in her court. The key is to quit being so wishy washy and determine what the hell it is that you want. You either want to be with her, or you don't. If you think you can expect her to wait around and not see anyone while you decide what you want, you're selfish and naive. Life is too short to mope around with your d*ck in your hand pining over a past relationship. There are plenty of other girls out there, and as soon as you hook up with one of them, you'll know how you really feel about this girl. Sometimes we mistake the absence of loneliness for something other than what is really is.

    CRC -- you just have to make a clean break. i decided, "that's it...i'm not calling her anymore...i'm not going to take her calls anymore...i'm moving on...she broke up with me...that's it." then i graduated high school and left on a trip for destin with some friends...got back and started dating another girl...dated her for about a year.

    the old flame called a few times...and i talked to her a few times...and she made the same old overtures she had made before...but ultimately she didn't want me, and she didn't want anyone else to have me either. that's what it boiled down to.

    i'm a better person for having had that experience...it made me infinitely more appreciative of my wife, once i met her! :) i developed as a person and grew up a lot during that experience. it really strengthened my relationship with God in more than a few ways.

    and now i can draw on the story like an old man sitting on a rocker on the front porch...talking to you whippersnappers! ;)

    in all seriousness, few things are as important as we make them out to be. "don't let the troubles in your head steal too much time, you'll soon be dead...so play." a wise man once said that.

    Well, unfortunately, I have no choice in the matter, so I've got to move on. For me, the best thing I've done is stay active with friends or dating new people. It's been mainly miss with one indirect hit on the dating scene, but it's all been therapuetic in one way or another.

    Thanks Coma,

    I wish I can get over that... my ex is currently having a boyfriend... common sense telling me to let go but she's the one called me first & gave me some signals... since then I just can't stop thinking about her... & I'm not the type of guy that can commit a new relationship if I'm still thinking about someone else (un-Kobe like ;) )... so it really bothers me lately... & the thing is my current lifestyle/reality side of thing are preventing me to really thinking about relationships anytime soon... & that's the problem...

    OK, here's my story.

    Dated a girl for two years in high school.

    Went to different colleges.

    Saw each other at Christmas. Wrote e-mails.

    Now, many years later, I live on the east coast and she lives on the west coast.

    We send each other pictures of our kids.

    It all works out in the end.

    Thanks Madmax,

    I've tried to forget about her the past 2 years every single damn day but had no luck... especially true after my Ex called me about 2 month ago... the thing is, I feel like she still thinks I'm the one & I want her too... so obviously there is a chance we can get back together (maybe that's why I've been so bothered by all this)...

    And the situation I'm in right now... the only person I can think of that can be in a relationship with me right now will be one of my colleagues... I've been caught up with all the work & other things that just preventing me dating anyone outside the office... well, & I can tell you there are no women in my office... :(

    yeah! kevin arnold and winnie cooper didn't end up together, either! ;)

    just because at one point of your life it seems "meant to be" don't make it so!

    It surely is!

    By the way, do you guys have any suggestions on the modes of communication? What are the most appropriate ways to communicate with your lover in certain situation? Which type do you prefer? Is it effective?

    Communication modes:

    Face-to-face? Phone? Letter? Email? Gifts? ICQ/chat? Communicating through friends?

    been there, done that...

    OK, here's MY story.

    Dated a girl for 3 years in high school.

    Went to different colleges.

    Saw each other at Christmas. Talked on the phone some. Dated when we were home.

    Now, many years later, I live on the gulf coast and she lives on the gulf coast.

    We don't have any kids, yet.

    It all works out in the end.

    Broke up a couple tiems for over a year stretch.

    14 years after we met, I married her.

    I've tried it several times, only because the girl wanted to stay friends (I have always been indifferent about the issue). However it has never worked out due to my indifference. The friendship was never reciprocated on my part because I just didn't care about the person anymore. After a few months, each of the ex's realized it and stopped calling me. Since I never called them, the friendship just fizzled out like an unloaded firecracker.

    Is an "indirect hit" something Baqui would be proud of? ;)

    Mulder,

    So you managed to overcome the problems that caused the break up... nice to see! I'll be interested to hear your take on that & how it's been done...

    That's a good way to let someone forget about you...
