Say you were on a five-date shindig with a person, and you made love. Person eventually moves on.

 

Is it OK to text them like a year later and tell them you've gotten a makeover, gotten in better shape, some cosmetic work, a promotion at work, etc? (if it's all true)???

No. It sounds needy. Why would you give them the satisfaction of knowing that they're on your mind? One day, you'll come across them. That's when you show them how fabulous you are and what they're missing out on. Then you keep walking, because you've got better prospects and you remember the reasons for why it never worked out.

It is a "her," and I'm not sure. I'd be limited to phone or text right now for practical reasons, and would only realistically use the latter. I suppose in-person would be swell, but that of course would be initiated with one of the above and might need some qualification behind it to go through.

 

But as to "how," in the other sense, I don't know. I haven't thought about that too much, but I guess I'd just be direct and blunt about it. I mean, if I'm gonna try, I might as well try.

 

The thing is, some of the things I listed have already happened, others will. Yet more things were misunderstandings, but I guess not much to be done about that.

Tell her about your promotion but not about your change in appearance other than you have started to take better care of yourself or go to the gym regularly or whatever. Let that be a surprise when you meet her.

 

What type of cosmetic surgery did you have? If it was something drastic, she might not even recognize you.

Just no, unless your sole purpose for change was that person.....plus if you feel you need to tell them a year later its because you looking different ,or having a makeover is what you think will make you more attractive to them or they will view you as more attractive so you can be what they want you to be.......

 

 

and if its a guy or a woman.....and you are the way he/she wants you to be now....he doesnt deserve you anymore....now you can find the person who does....it is tempting when they made you feel less than zero....but not good for you as a person....just good for them...you would always have that in the back of your mind....especially fi you are certain they woudl not have left if you were the way you are now or in the future.......deb

I'm in better shape, but was in OK-to-good shape before. Let's say the "cosmetic surgery" was new teeth (veneers or whatever celebrities get).

 

Anyway, the job thing is something I'm focusing on, because on our last date, mysteriously about 4 minutes before she told me "she's not feelin' it," she was grilling me about the specifics of my job title.
