Well, just thought I'd throw one final update in here if you guys are interested.

Have heard from this girl a few times, and I have been warm and polite to her, but nothing more than that. It is weird that she keeps contacting me.

And the date with the Asian girl went well, but not spectacular. Shortly after that, I met a very sexy brunette and have been seeing her for about 3 weeks now. Great sex, good connection, lots of fun to be with.

Things are good :)

Yea, I was sort of expecting it, that's why I spent quite of a time above and recommended lots of patience in stead of just ]"next". Next is still probably the best option, but it may not be the most optimal one, if that makes sense...

Once you create a good connection with the girl (and you did), she will always remember you as a great guy. Does she want to dump a great guy? If she is normal she would not, and if so she would have to feel quite guilty about it. Which is BTW the reason why girls try to blame the guys before the break up, they make it seem that it was all his fault and they have to justify it to themselves, so they don't have to feel guilty about it...

She doesn't want to dump you but at the same time she may not be open or ready for relationship. So what she does is, she wants to keep you around as a sort of an Orbital. But remember, you've already slept with her, so this is a different sort of Orbital that is usually described here on GC, she's already created a good intimate connection with you, so you are simply orbiting but in much closer Orbit then guys who are interested in a girl but never slept with her...

So simplest way to deal with it is to remove yourself from the Orbital, simply Next her, forget her...

But there is another way, more advanced, which is to remain in the Orbital.... This requires lots of patience as described above... You just don't know when she may reach out to you - it could be couple of days, it could be weeks, months... But it could also be YEARS. And it could never happen as well, you just don't know. It is a game mostly with your feelings, because if you keep thinking about her and try to somehow "get her", you are constantly investing into her while she keeps distance... You may suffer a lot because of that...

So a good way is to keep the possibility open without investing into her. Simply remain open to her while at the same time you are focusing on another girls (as you do). Anytime she contacts you, you show an interest. Anytime she pulls away and go distant, you don't chase, you let her go, you go distant yourself...

What I would do in this situation is, I would create sort of a game in which she is investing into you (you are already doing it, she is investing into you by keeping in contact). She may be wondering why you are not chasing because she knows you are interested, but all you have to do is keep showing an interest in her and in her life. In this situation I would remain passive (since she canceled the date), I wouldn't ask for another date - it is her turn to show that she wants to see you. So once she does (and hopefully she will) it is a good sign. At that time I would stand up to more leading position, suggest the date and place where to meet. She will most likely accept since she is the one who offered, yet at the same time you are remaining in charge by selecting where and when... Then go from there...

Keep us updated, it is an interesting story.

Nah, Drck. I gotta be done with this chick and close this chapter of my life.

I got zero notice from her that she was moving on, zero opportunity for any type of closure, zero explanation after the fact, zero anything. She is nuts, I think... I should have known that for a long time, but a strong emotional and physical connection tends to cloud things. I only saw the good and blocked out the bad. Radeng was kind enough to spell that out for me, and I can see it now pretty clearly.

The brunette girl I spoke about in my last post that I've been seeing for the past 3-4 weeks has been amazing to me so far. She made me my favorite meal for dinner last night, and we drank wine and had amazing sex again (as usual with her), and spent the night. I think I am in a good place.

I am still haunted by the memories and such, and how I can just be discarded so cruelly after 2.5 years. Only time will heal me of that.

YB,

I think that she sees you as part of her past life with her husband. You are probably a reminder of him. In order to move on she has to leave you also. She probably feels guilty for doing so and does not want to confront you. It is not fair to you but you will be better off also. The best thing to do is remember the good things in the past and live in the present.
