If you were, she'd give you a definite about putting it in your account/cheque in the mail. Yeah, but it would be funny to write back in a week or two and accept her "kind offer" to pay you back...
BigB Posted June 29, 2005 Posted June 29, 2005 If you send any kind of reply wait at least a week. Make her wait!

Damn right. In fact, that's something I'd do - just because I can. Is that another chapter for our book??
ReluctantRomeo Posted June 29, 2005 Posted June 29, 2005 Originally posted by miss-gonewest Is that another chapter for our book?? "How to profit financially from the break-up"? I think a guy needs to write this one... How is our book doing, btw?

I don't know about that... I personally ended up with a knife block from my ex. It was my birthday present. He on the other hand ended up with a new wardrobe, some guppies, wine glasses and lego... I know who got the better deal - I'd happily trade those darn knives for the lego!
Sal Paradise Posted June 29, 2005 Posted June 29, 2005 The best thing you can do is not answer it at all. If you reply are you're nice and tell her you're happy for her, she will feel as if she has a chance with you. If you're mean and tell her to buzz off, she will feel that at least she mattered enough to get a response at all. If you ignore her it will drive her insane which is what she deserves.

westernxer Posted June 29, 2005 Posted June 29, 2005 Originally posted by ReluctantRomeo Of course she is. She wants a second go of the ol' BA magic... Yep. Sad to say, she still hasn't learned from this. I received a letter like this once, and it broke my heart (again) to discover she hasn't changed a bit. Self-centered and self-righteous -- just like she was back in the day when I dumped her ass!
ReluctantRomeo Posted June 29, 2005 Posted June 29, 2005 Originally posted by westernxer Sad to say, she still hasn't learned from this. And BA has... definitely gives him the edge. Go BA! Woohoo!

Ouch! Methinks you haven't gotten over it yet... unless of course you are a machine, not a real man?
UltimateZen Posted June 29, 2005 Posted June 29, 2005 Originally posted by blue16 Now, BrotherAaron is calling the shots. You win, it's over. You don't have to do a single thing and you still have the power over her...which will eat away at her. I agree with blue. JUST DROP ALL CONTACT. When it is over it is over. Move on. Go out. Have fun. Meet a girl who deserves to be with you. Marry her. Have many babies. Retire. Grow old knowing that you made the right choice in moving on.

Just expressing my thoughts as guys do with their buddies, that's all. Plus it relates to the subject matter. Don't take it personal.

Don't take it personal. Not personal at all Western... I admire your brutality. If I came out with that, I'd be classed as a man-hater; I'd get the 'no wonder you're single' speeches...

I'd never say this around the ladies, unless they're familiar with the way I talk. It comes across as being brutal because it's written communication, but that's just my non-formal way of being a guy. Just to balance it out a little, women also have the right to dump a guy's ass! (Sorry, miss-gonewest. No offense on my part.)

(Sorry, miss-gonewest. No offense on my part.) Stop apologising! You'll lose your status as the 'harsh & wise one'! BTW, it take a lot to offend me... give me a set of knives and you'll see what I mean!
