I'm hoping for a Usual Suspects/Keiser Soze twist at the end of this saga where No 16 is actually the ex-girlfriend and then No 16 vanishes from the FFA. "The greatest trick the devil ever pulled was convincing the world he didn't exist. And like that, poof. He's gone."
 
"Just promise me one thing. Please take care of yourself and be safe. Please." She pleaded with me. A look of concern on her face.

Not surprising considering you were mixing large amounts of alcohol and amphetamines all night.

4 mollies after boozing for 6 hours is not an amatuer move. At least the self grat is more interesting with her.

Actually, it's definitely an amateur move. Professionals know how to not flirt with death when dying isn't on their wish list.

I stopped drinking around 2100. Didn't really have much at the reception. I believe I had: 2 glases of wine and 2 jameson and ginger ales from 1730-2100.Stopped drinking alky when I decided to take the mollies. I took 2 mollies around 2100... didn't feel much of a kick after waiting an hour plus so I took the other two.

Also, I don't plan on making this a habit. Really only for special events and big raves. I don't even smoke weed anymore because it stays in your system too long.

I doubt it's just your ex that's noticing your behavior.I'll bet the word's getting back to her through all your mutual friends.

:nerd: It depends. We use it when a crew works past midnight on an extended shift. "I came in at 0900, lunch 1500-1600, dinner 2100-2200, out at 2600" makes the math easier.Edit: wiki says it's common in China :shrug:

I figured 16 would want to know how to properly use military time in the USA since he's an aficionado of it.But, if we're lucky, there could be an entire back story behind his dad being in the military in China thus ingraining the importance of using military time in his young son and 16 growing up with his dad saying 2400.

Eh. Don't care at all what she thinks or what gets back to her. It's funny. It seems like I'm partying like crazy but look these past two weeks in June had been super busy and packed. Before these past two weeks, my life had come to such a drag that the thread wasn't bumped for a while.I think I've found a good balance of fun and downtime. The past two weeks are not the norm.
 
I will admit I'm now not convinced this isn't a fishing trip, but I am completely embarrassed to say the last couple days of 16's responses have stuck in my head as I went through my weekend. I do not say this proudly. I realize this response is a waste of my time, but this thread is a complete car crash for me I can't take my eyes off of. So I do not apologize for the potential harshness of this response, I will say that I cannot explain why I'm even bothering to evaluate this. And I start by saying that I have been following this for 6 months feeling for 16 as he'd obviously been through a decent amount emotionally and respected the open-ness with which he confessed his feelings.

I worked out hard because I wanted to show her I could have a personal trainer body.I planned as many cool trips as possible to show her I wasn't the "boring" guy she left.I went out as much as I could and took pictures with as many women as possible to show her that I didn't need her in my life.Everything, I had been doing for the past 6 months was so that on this night I could prove to her I wasn't the man she left. That I was different. Truthfully, I'm not sure what I wanted or expected out of this night. Should I be nice to her? Should I give her the cold shoulder? Should I try to #### her? #### someone else? With my life being busy I didn't have time to consult with the FFA. I had asked my friends in a drunken stupor the night before the wedding, so the quality of the advice was not reliable. So it was up to me.The only thing I did know was that I wanted her to know that she ####ed up. That she made a huge mistake leaving me...{later} With the prospect of being in a suit for the next 12 hours, we obviously waited until the last moment to get ready. I took extra time in making sure my shirt was pressed nicely, ironing it twice. I made my tie, and re-made my tie until the tip just barely hit my belt buckle and the knot width was just right. My white pocket square was carefully placed so that the peak was dead center. I had to look like million bucks and with the time I spent..... I did.
Click to expand...
Not ideal...but I'm sure many of us have been there...can't beat you up for this. Facing an ex at an event can be really tough. The vanity here isn't particularly charming but I guess it's honest.
Before, we got to the car anticipating the midday California sun, I put on my tortoise Carrera sunglasses and Rusty, John, our friend AJ, and myself loaded into the car on our way to the wedding. There's no feeling like feeling like the best looking guy in a group. Rusty was a good looking guy, but his suit was ill fitting. John talked as if he knew how to dress his fat pudgy body, but in a suit he still looked fat and pudgy. AJ had the style down, but he didn't have the smoothness and confidence to pull it off without looking like he was trying too hard. They're my friends, I don't mean to put them down... but when she sees me next to these guys it would be hard not to look good.
Click to expand...
Honestly, I think this is when, to use a wrestling term, you went from face to heel. Are these your friends? I will tell you that any "friend" I had who was happy to attend events with me because he'd look good standing next to me wouldn't be a friend thereafter. But I guess I'll leave my personal feelings out of it as much as I can and say that this statement reeks of a lack of self confidence in ways you have flirted with to this point but never reached. I pray you read this a year from now and say "who the hell was that guy", because I can't even fathom this mindset. The girl you're still in love with will be happy to see you because you're attending it with people who aren't as good looking as you? What?
except for one thing.... the color of her dress. She wore coral. We had gone to numerous events together that required dressing up and I always encouraged her to wear coral. I knew she would looking beautiful in it. Hell for our 3rd anniversary dinner, I bought her a coral dress to wear, but she wouldn't wear it and wore a teal dress instead. For someone as beautiful as she was, she didn't like to wear bright colors. Her wardrobe consisted of blues, purples, grays, and blacks. So I found it a bit funny that after 7 years she finally wears a coral dress after breaking up with me and you know what.... I was right. She looked damn good.{later}During our conversation the Chinese dude sat quietly by her side when he wasn't off taking shots, I could feel he wanted to secks her as well so I would have competition. Oh well. Game on. I didn't linger with the two very long and eventually just continued catching up with my old friends. I was enjoying myself and honestly can say I didn't give one thought about the ex.
Click to expand...
Women are funny. Obviously she knew you well enough to know she'd get in your head with that dress. I can only imagine your posts if you were the "Chinese Dude".. anyways, you're full of $%$# that you didn't think about her. Not sure why you bothered to lie about it. She was the predominant thought in your mind, and everyone reading this knows it and understands why.
After about 30 minutes, I finally notice that coral dress at the cocktail hour sitting on a bench. She is sipping on champagne as well, but is in a smaller group with her old college friends, 3 of them to be exact. They look like they're enjoying themselves like friends would by the backyard grill, but it's no where near the level of the group that I am in, partying like we're at club.
Click to expand...
Who thinks this? You're at a wedding and judging someone(who by the way you would have run up to that altar with and married as a supplement to the wedding) because the people they're talking to aren't partying as hard as you are? Christ almighty.
Dinner is finally about to begin and members of the wedding party start to herd us all inside. As I make my way towards the reception hall walking and talking with Demi, Alyssa comes out of no where, squeezes my shoulder, and obviously a little buzzed says, "How are you?""I'm doing good," I reply as I give Demi an apologetic look.
Click to expand...
Like every other attendee of this wedding except maybe the senior citizens, Demi knows you want Alyssa. She ain't buying your act.
I hop from table to table just talking with friends and almost each time Alyssa, would pop up mid conversation, and try to get my attention. There were numerous times where the person I was talking with and I would just roll our eyes at how awkward Alyssa was making everything. Each time she did it, I became more and more annoyed with her. I would respond to her questions, but would never continue the conversation and eventually would leave for the next table.
Click to expand...
Then why not...well, talk to her? Again, I don't know how well I can understand her level of pursuit, but take you at face value, why wouldn't you have some small talk? She's opening the door here. And you were annoyed, you loved it.
"Hey. It was good seeing you. You look good."Well wish I could say the same you ####### #####."Just promise me one thing. Please take care of yourself and be safe. Please." She pleaded with me. A look of concern on her face.Really? Now after all this time. After throwing our relationship away for some piece of meat you met in Vegas, you want me to promise you? You got be ####### kidding me.Finally I responded, "You don't get to tell me what to do anymore. You have no bearing in my life. You lost that right.""Really? That's how you want to say good bye? You want to be a ####?"
Click to expand...
I just picture this like you think you're in a 1980's romantic comedy...I mean, you don't have to be her friend, you could just say, "Alyssa, its just too damn hard to talk to you and pretend nothing happened" - you could say "Take care of yourself as well". I mean, I realize what you want to get across...but instead you prove 1)she certainly DOES have bearing in your life..and 2)for all the pressed white shirts, pink ties, ugly friends, crackin dancing, and cool parties, that she did make the right move moving on. And yes, that's how she walks away from that conversation. Now, date who you want...but she handed you an opening. Now, she was being a woman, and most likely was just doing it to make herself feel better. Likely you'd have ended the conversation pissed off at her being a tease. But you'd know. OK. I am done with this. My conclusion - 16, I am totally convinced you are a good guy who is still going through post-traumatic stress (I'm exaggerating) from this breakup. You've got trust issues, personal pain, hurt, whatever you want to describe it as from this breakup. You put everything into it and she killed you. A year from now you'll feel a lot differently about things. But my god, stop pretending things are great. Enjoy your life as best you can, but it's all right to hurt, so long as it doesn't bury you. You'll move forward some day when the next Alyssa comes along, you won't be looking for her, she'll be charmed and likely start a conversation, and you'll be friends and then more, and maybe she'll end up Mrs. No 16 or maybe not, but just...relax. You are making having fun and partying sound stressful. And we've all been there. I truly hope you look back at this wedding a year from now and laugh because the life you have is fulfilling...maybe better, maybe the same...but not based on some quest to prove some 20 something girl who doesn't have her act together yet either was wrong about you. And thats the last thing...she's as confused as you. Immature likely, unsure of what she wants, open to a new future...if the wedding proved that she's not entirely over you, not with the Vegas guy (assuming he'd have attended if they were), and maybe wishing things happened with you differently...well, maybe it was worth it.I'm now really done.
 
No 16, I've been following along from the start and haven't been saying much cause I really don't have much advice to offer. Unlike most other FBGs, I've never been some casanova womanizer, so I can't help you there. I do agree with Long Duck Dong in that you seem like a good person who is obviously still pretty hurt by what happened...I would be too, if that happened to me. No question.

But I say this with complete honesty (not trying to make fun of you/her) - take care of yourself. Be careful. <insert look of legitimate FBG concern here>

That's all I got.

I gotta say, that was spot on. No. 16 seems like basically a good guy who is badly in need of some tough love / straight talk.
Click to expand...
Not really. At first, maybe, but the ridiculous romance-novel nature of these updates and transparent attempts at confidence have gotten embarrassing. Really, all he's doing is what the first wave of advice told him to do: act like he doesn't care, attempt to bang a girl every time he goes anywhere and "have fun". Or at least, all he's doing is telling us that's what he's doing.Now it's just coming across as manufactured and hollow. The more arrogance he pumps into these stories the less interesting they're becoming. Trying to write like Nora Roberts isn't helping.

Don't go to the wedding.

Or just go to the ceremony. Don't go to the reception.

Whotf cares what people think, they're all gonna know soon anyway. And unless this is YOUR best friend getting married, they couldn't care less if you are there or not.

:goodposting: we've all told you what to do to make your life less painful. most of it with lots of schtick, but it's to make your life better, easier, simpler, more fun. the main impetus behind the advice is that we've all had our hearts CRUSHED by some chick along the line. i was 2 or 3 steps ahead of you, i had bought a house and moved to phx with her. i ####### hated phx. she dumped me 2 years into phx. talk about devastated, i had uprooted my entire life for this chick, so she could go to medical school in phx. thank god the house was in my name only. i listened to my step dad there, like you should be listening to most of us.

you're a good dude, it'll take time. don't be too hard on yourself and distance yourself from her and her friends. even if they are friends in common.

and i'll be in the bay for monday night football 9/10, cornhole? i'm staying at the embarcadero hyatt.

Dude, so you are now stooping to taking E to have a good time at one of your best friend's wedding reception? I certainly hope you are embellishing your story for our entertainment.I did my share of #### when I was your age, but breaking out the hardcore drugs at my best friend's wedding was certainly not cool. So you were just rolling balls in the middle of all his extended family at the wedding reception? Sure he appreciated that.At least, that is what 'mollie' was back in the late 90s, unless it has changed in the past 10-15 years? MDMA powder...

Pffft... A bunch of tripe if you ask me. Tells 16 he shouldn't be judging people (when he wasn't, he was merely observing) and then proceeds to judge 16 himself. And he's WAY off base on his judgments/assumptions about 16. Then he even has the nerve to insinuate that 16 should in someway be open to getting back w/ his ex?!? HUH?!?

You know, theres nothing you say that's necessarily wrong. I probably shouldnt have made the posting. I won't delete it because it's been quoted but you're probably right as it relates to judging. The vanity offended me more than it should have. Only thing I feel I judged. But I didn't suggest he should get back with his ex. I suggest that if you're going to get dressed up and make the whole point of the night to show the ex how great you are, and the ex makes contact, not sure I understand how doing the passive aggressive thing at that point makes any sense. Rest of it, you're right, I don't know 16. I can only evaluate what I've read. I'm assuming you know him offline and as such all I'll say is that what you know isn't translating into typed word.
