44? You sound like you're about 19. You have a lot of maturing to do. I have no idea how that happens.
Hold a boombox outside her residence. That always works.The one day reprieve gives you time to make an awesome mix tape of all the romantic songs you‘ve enjoyed together over the years. Have it delivered to her tomorrow morning at work with more flowers.
You're now George Costanza and you should do the opposite of whatever you think is right. Every time you think she's perfect, amazing, you blew it etc. Just remember how bad you're hurting......she's knows your hurting that bad......and she doesn't car
Don't be ridiculous. What I got out of that movie is to order a pizza delivery in class. Awesomeness.Watch Fast Times at Ridgemont High. Take notes on Damone and Rat with Stacy. Don’t be like Rat. Be Damone
And how would she describe you?@Spiderman
I missed it. How old are you two? What do you guys do for work? Where city/cities are you in?
I am 44, she is 32. She is extremely mature. I have never met somebody who is more intellectual/smart.

Love going down the cringeworthy memory lane at your expense GB. This feels like younger you all over again.And if that doesn't work try her mom. Then her best friend. Maybe drive over there, too....You should call her at exactly 7 o’clock and if she doesn’t answer every five minutes there after. Shows tenacity.
You are totally@Spiderman

Man, 44 is a money spot to be in if you're single. Still young enough to look good. Presumably has a decent job with enough dough to splash around. The age spectrum can be generous here: 25 all the way up to MILF age.Yeah I was not expecting 44. I sort of can’t wrap my mind around it. Maybe she’s famous? Emma Watson, Margot Robbie and Jennifer Lawrence are all 32. I would grovel for any of them.
Please, please, please say this and nothing more..."Glad you liked them. Talk tomorrow."I'm doing it again.....
Hi, I did get the flowers that was a nice gesture. Let's talk tomorrow after work.
1. It's definitely brought back some memories. I probably hadn't thought about the ex for months to years (@Spiderman take note) until this thread. Nonetheless, this thread has forced me to reflect on it in a good way. I obviously wish I handled it better - in hindsight with more objectivity I did some really cringeworthy stuff that I regret far more than doing what I could to make the relationship work (because it was probably going to always fail as I was almost too into her that it was a toxic level of infatuation). And, probably, the biggest regret was spending the 1.5 or so years it took me to get over the relationship when I should really have been enjoying that time with little to no responsibility but for not failing law school. I spent so much time sitting in my apartment and/or on this board moaning about it when I should have been playing sports, hanging with friends, and casually dating (I stupidly turned down some easy care free sex during that time ). Should have been 4-6 months max recovery time. Anyway, no overall regrets as I got to have some subsequent fun dating and being single for a few years and then met my wife (who is a significantly better match for me in the long-term). FWIW, I believe the ex is in a similar situation and seems comparably happy (we're still facebook friends) so I'm genuinely glad for her. All worked out in the end. Just wish I had that extra year or so in my 20s back.Love going down the cringeworthy memory lane at your expense GB. This feels like younger you all over again.And if that doesn't work try her mom. Then her best friend. Maybe drive over there, too....You should call her at exactly 7 o’clock and if she doesn’t answer every five minutes there after. Shows tenacity.
You did better than I did. I couldn't make it through the 1st post.I bailed at the end of page 1. I presume the conclusion was there is nothing he can do now?
No, but let’s not look a gift thread in the mouth.There's no way this thread is actually real, right?
This is a bad sign…..over already IMO.@Spiderman

Another new feature of the new boards, Friday threads now start on Tuesday!There's no way this thread is actually real, right?
We should all chip in and buy him an Iron.Maybe she just doesn't like wrinkly balls
Do they make an iron for your balls? I'm asking for a friendWe should all chip in and buy him an Iron.Maybe she just doesn't like wrinkly balls
I case they do, don't forget to set the temp at "delicate"Do they make an iron for your balls? I'm asking for a friendWe should all chip in and buy him an Iron.Maybe she just doesn't like wrinkly balls
You couldn't tell me this before marriage??Man, 44 is a money spot to be in if you're single. Still young enough to look good. Presumably has a decent job with enough dough to splash around. The age spectrum can be generous here: 25 all the way up to MILF age.
The glory years.
Yeah. Sack and Pecker makes one.Do they make an iron for your balls? I'm asking for a friendWe should all chip in and buy him an Iron.Maybe she just doesn't like wrinkly balls
Update:
I did ask her earlier, on chat, how her work project went and she said the draft was done, but still working on it.
I then asked if she was good with 7pm tonight to talk. She said 'yep'
She just asked a moment ago if I can 6 pm now (vs. 7 Pm) so she can attend an excercise class at 7pm that she wasn't able to make earlier today.
Obviously, this means that our conversation will not last more than 45 minutes, if goes that long.

Good luck. Keep your composure either way.Obviously, she expects the call to last under 1 hour. That's probably because we're done and she's going to state that so she probably doesn't need more than a few minutes to explain her decision.
--Yes, 'gesture' is just a word. A cold, arms-length, acknowledgment word.I think she probably did appreicate them, I don't that that it's enough though to change anything. A gesture sounds more complementary, but it could be a small reminder that I'm trying. Ultimately, it's just a word though.Yeah she called it a nice gesture because it is a nice gesture and she'd look awful for not acknowledging them.“Nice gesture” doesn’t denote romance. That’s what I’d say to someone who offered me their seat. If she goes into a big, long winded speech on what was wrong with the relationship and you, please just hang up.
Doesn't mean they did anything for her.
In those few words you shared from your exchange today, you are coming off like someone too anxious for this call, and she like someone who is dreading it. Amazing actually, with so few words. JMHO, most people would not put off a call they want to have with a romantic interest using a work excuse. I'm starting to think that isn't a bad thing in the grand scheme. You could be inauthentic/suave and intrigue her enough to keep it on life support, but that's not sustainable. If you are needy, better for you to appear needy, learn the consequences of projecting it, and get on to getting on with that experience.
This is setting a definite ending to the call, not a good sign imo.Update:

He is on the pier and we are in the water.Was it ever discussed what the "long distance" is here? Where is Spidey and where is Gwen Stacey?
How long does decent phone sex take? 45 minutes is probably plenty.This is setting a definite ending to the call, not a good sign imo.Update:

I’m fully expecting the final update to be:
”she broke up with me. She thanked me for a wonderful last year but said the relationship is no longer working. When I balked at moving out to be closer to her she got scared so she’s moving in with her auntie and uncle in Bel Air”
I’m an over-analyzer by nature, so I can appreciate what you are doing here. But jesus man, as an impartial observer this is exhausting. Like no joke, some of these posts feel like I’m listening to three clones of my wife all at once. Again, I get the anxiety you are feeling. All of us have been there. But dude — the repetition and over-analysis. Are you like this with her? If so, I mean, maybe take a minute to get honest about the experience you are creating for her.Obviously, she expects the call to last under 1 hour. That's probably because we're done and she's going to state that so she probably doesn't need more than a few minutes to explain her decision.
