Take her to dinner Friday night. Nice place, good steak and wine. Fun conversation and catching up after 20 years.
Sunday ask her to lunch. Laugh, talk, share ideas. Mention maybe taking off work to have lunch together on Friday. Talk about anything that comes to mind. But don’t make any set plans.
Chit chat off and on through the week. Email from home, work, text message, call, etc. But don’t mention when you might get together again.
Thursday is Valentine’s Day…send her flowers. Stop by her work just before she gets off to say hi and see if she really liked the flowers. Still say nothing about when you might get together again.
Friday, the very next day, at 11:33am, text message her and ask her what time she usually goes to lunch. When she responds that she can go pretty much anytime she wants, but she already has plans, continue to text message her - interrogation style. Ask her who with, and when she’s vague with her answers or takes a long time to respond, act all jealous and short, with lots of attitude. Be sure to ask if “he” sent her flowers on Valentine’s Day too. Don’t forget to let her know the level of your disappointment, because, you know - this is all about YOU! And when she tells you over and over that you should have said something and she’s not a mind reader, just ignore it. Of course she is, because she must be as into YOU as you are her! Just the mere suggestion of time with YOU should cause her to clear her calender, suspend all friendships, avoid all homework and work around those kids. When she has explained her side 3 times…just blow it off, because after all…it’s YOUR feelings that are hurt here!
Then when she ignores you, keep texting her as if nothing was wrong. Mention that you’ve been going to her all her usual haunts and express your intense disappointment that she wasn’t where she said she’s going to be! You know she said she ALWAYS goes to these places. Even after she emails you and tells you she’s done with you…keep IM’ing, emailing, calling, etc. Don’t forget to call and whine some…that’ll pull her back in. Stuff like, “but you called me ‘babe’?” Very attractive when you put it all together. And act like you haven’t a clue why she’d be giving you the cold shoulder, not taking your calls, returning your IM’s, etc.
And finally, when she tells you straight up to leave her alone, stop calling, etc. Act all mad like you can’t understand what happened at all. You naturally do not see your childish behavior, selfishness, jealousy, lack of communication skills, or neediness. You’re a stud! What woman shouldn’t be falling at your feet to have you ravish her…and of course her, you.
Yup, crashed & burned, just like he did 20 years ago. Buh-bye!
We’ll that’s the gist of it. Most of it you know Jenny, but it felt good to write it out. Hey and - ask me how things are going with the Dr. next time we talk! He asked for my phone number tonight. The kid at the deli tonight was flirting with me (though I didn’t realize it until after I’d been down 3 aisles!), I got an IM from I guy I met last year (sports journalist, I believe) and I was also asked out for coffee this afternoon…so, all in all, I’m bouncing back nicely I’d say. LOL
Time for a shower folks. I pulled a muscle and desperately need a hot shower, some Advil and rest. Tomorrow’s another day. And who knows what it may bring!
