<div style='font: 12pt ; text-align: left; '>Girls are just one thing in life. Often relationships can be a battle; a battle for dominance and control, even if it is just subconscious. One member of the relationship generally finds themselves doing a lot for the other person, not as a favour or gift anymore, but because they are supposed to, it's an expectation. The person who becomes expected to do these things normally cares a lot about what the other thinks about them, and the other persons wishes and delights become more important to them than their own wishes and delights; it's the same with a lot of friendships as well. By your post, it sounds to me like you were in one of those battles, and I'm sorry to say Eric, but you lost that battle.
Now's your opportunity to pick up the pieces, you don't need to care about what she thinks anymore, it's time to take back your own life. What has happened, is that I think you have forgotten about how great life is, how many damn opportunities there are to live well. There's a world here, and you have your own town/city, there are probably a million opportunities there alone. take back yourlife, remove the bitch straps and be the man. Remember, she's just a girl, that's all she'll ever be, but in your life you are THE man, no one is more important to you than yourself, if you don't love yourself more than anything, than you're missing out big time on enjoying life to its fullest. Now, I'm not going to tell you what was wrong with your relationship, that doesn't even really matter anymore, it's over done. Seriously, give yourself some more self respect than wanting a girl like that, even if you did go out with her fro three years, even five, even twenty. You have no kids, no obligations. Judging by your situation, it sounds to me like that relationship ending was the best thing that has happened in your life in a while.
Now come on, it may have been a while since you got to use your game, but you can pick it up. Well, this is all simple enough if you put the effort into it, and if you are serious about the game, you will. First of all, you need your links, and since your friends aren't going to be reliable in this case then it might be a good idea to seek out a job, you have two classes, you have the time to work part time. That's a way to get some quick cash, a bit of cash is all you really need. Next stick around and talk to people in class or work, and try to get some of them to go out to the clubs or bars some night. From there you pretty much have a good chance of meeting at least a few new people, maybe make a lunch date and ask how you can reach her; if she says no, or some BS excuse, big deal, wait a few minutes and then move on, or if the bar is small, move to a different bar. Anyways, here are 10 basic game tips for now:
1) Say her name as much as possible in reasonable limits (otherwise you'll sound a bit moronic), everyone loves to hear their name said.
2) Smile and be sure to look her in the eyes, everyone likes that, she will too.
3) When ttalking about yourself, talk about things that the two of you have done since you started going out, and if it is right at the beginning of things, and you're talking about yourself, make it about the future. Talking about the past which doesn't really involve her in any way is boring; think about how you instinctively tune yourself out when girls talk about things for hours and hours and hours (or so it seems) about things you care absolutely nothing about, sometimes you want to die, even if she is drop dead hot.
4) Little gifts can be nice, sending some flowers or chocolate to her work place is good, just sending a gift will get a little bit of a response, but sending it to her work will get you places =)
5) Never say things that are negative about you, her, or anything like that, if she corners you on a conversation say, about some sport you don't play (but it can be anything), like Hockey, instead of saying "I suck at hockey" or "I don't play hockey" say "It's actually something I'd like to try some day.". Same thing goes with cooking "I'd like to learn how to cook this..." guitar, and just about anything.
6) Compliments can be good and bad; compliments like "I like your eyes" or "I like your smile" are just saying to her "nice face, lets fuck!" kind of a turn off, but saying something like "Those are fairly cool shoes" or "That's a nice outfit" works differently, since girls put effort into buying their shoes and getting the right outfit, they see that as a compliment on the effort, and not just a line to get into her pants.
7) When bumnping into a girl and trying to get her to go out with you, a number is not enough. Get the date, and then ask "Is there a way I can reach you?" Think of it this way, when you get a girls number, does that really mean anything more than just a trophy that you'll probably never use because you know a better girl anyways? Well, girls tend to have big crushes on people who they will never ever get, and you're just secondary to them if anything unless you actually have a date with her. If you catch my drift.
8) Don't worry too much about talking, most of the good girls are the type who love to talk the most. Be a man of few and meaningful words, like James Bond. Use your game, get her to reveal things about herself and then use that to your advantage. The most basic game plan, find out her opinions and then agree with them and push the conversation forth from there. The cool thing about being a dude is that game usually comes naturally =)
9) Another basic game plan, kind of an expansion of above, whenever she asks you about your future, jump on it and sound as reasonably ambitious as possible, but on top of direction, make it seem like you are keeping a wide variety of options open.
10) Lastly, when girls talk about jokes, they often mention who said it; that's a hint that they are thinking fondly about the person who said it. Guys are the same way, but we never mention where we heard the joke,it's part of our nature, it just doesn't matter to us. Anyways, here's a joke you can use, and I guarantee you that no one has heard it before. We'll use Sine as the name of the main character just to simplify things:
Sine is on a trip to South America and decides to go to a nude beach. Unfortuanately no one speaks English there, and Sine doesn't speak a word of Spanish. While at the beach he gets with a girl who knows English, but no Spanish, she says "You need a rubber before we go any further." Unfortuanately, neither of them have one, and in South America they are very rare to find, but on this particular beach there is a convenient store which sells them. "Just go to the convenient store, give them this dollar and put your cock on the counter, he'll know what you mean." Sine seems a bit surprised, this doesn't sound like a good idea to him, so he takes the dollar and goes to the convenient store, and comes back after with no condom, "where is the rubber?" she asks: "Well I did exactly as you said, I took my dick and put it on the counter, and then I put the dollar on the counter. The shop keep then put his dick on the counter, and well.... His was bigger so he kept my dollar."
Come on Eric, I know you want to try some of these gameplay tips out. They're fun =)
Anyways, as some parting words, don't waste your time being upset, get out there and do something fun; life's too short to spend time being upset, and life is too important to throw away over another person; that's just kind of stupid, don't you think? Come on, be the man, and play the game.</div>
