I think sometimes rejections may generate hate. Clearly, this guy has some issues, because who wouldn't want to talk to you? You can hope that by communicating your needs directly with him, he'll know what he needs to do and make those changes you want.

So he convinces himself that he wants something he thinks will work not because he made a mistake by stupidly breaking it off, but because he is settling for something he didn't want because he is not all that of a catch to begin with. H looked good as usual but when I saw her I felt nothing.

Use reverse psychology to get your ex girlfriend back

You know this scenario all too well. He's as often as you'd like; he's waiting until the last minute to make plans with you; you're feeling taken for granted. You're not sure what to do to , but you don't want to lose him; you've never felt the way you do about him with anyone else before and you don't want to risk losing him by saying how much you want more than he's giving you right now. But still your heart longs for more from him, and you struggle with just how much to say or not to say and what to do with all of this. Where do you go from here? You have a couple options. You can talk to him. You can tell him how you feel. You can let him know what you need from him. You can have that heart to heart talk that he doesn't want to have, but you need to have. You can by telling him all of this and more. You can hope that by communicating your needs directly with him, he'll know what he needs to do and make those changes you want. But the reality is, all too often it doesn't work out that way. And you only feel worse after talking with him; he doesn't respond well and subtly and you're left regretting saying anything in the first place. Which makes you feel even more scared of losing him, makes you cling onto him all that much more, making you feel more insecure and doubting yourself in the process. It's a cycle that can lead to that all too common place where that unhealthy push and pull pattern comes into play, with us pushing for more and him pulling away, a pattern that can be so difficult to change once it tugs on our deep-seated insecurities that stem from our own abandonment issues, and his feelings of being stifled that come from his own background issues. The more you feel triggered, the more he feels triggered, and before you know it, your relationship can become more about everything going on beneath the surface than it is about the two of you! Or you have another option. Instead of talking to him, you can choose to look at yourself. Instead of telling him what you need him to do differently, you can show him by your actions and your behavior exactly what. Instead of the focus being on him, the focus is instead on someone you can actually change; yourself! Instead of depending on someone else to do something different and change to give you what you need, by choosing to focus on you, he doesn't feel smothered, and your feelings of security and confidence in the relationship and thus your self-esteem aren't dependent on what he does or doesn't do, and you're not looking for him to prove how much he cares about you by whether or not he responds to your requests — when in reality his response is about how much he is feeling out of control and smothered and not about how much he cares about you! Do you see the difference? So if you want him to call you more, instead of telling him you want him to call you more, you don't return his calls right away, or even at all. And not because you're playing games with him, but because you're focusing on you and making you the priority. You're dating more than just him because he hasn't shown you that he's exclusive with you yet. Or worthy of being exclusive for! You're focused on the things you enjoy, you're keeping a full life of your own while you're watching to see where this might lead. You're out there doing things, , following your dreams and not staying at home or continuously checking to see if your cell phone ringer is on in case he calls! You're living your life first and foremost with the focus on you as the icing on the cake, and not a relationship with him! If you want him to make plans with you earlier in the week before the weekend rolls around, you let him know you already have plans if he doesn't ask you until Friday morning. Because you do already have plans! You didn't wait around for him this time to see if he was going to ask. You went ahead and made your own plans without waiting around for him this time. Sure, you prefer to do something with him. But the reality is, the only way he's going to get the message and start making his plans with you earlier, is if he sees that you require this of him. By the fact that you're busy when he finally calls you! It may take a while. It may take a while to get used to this new side of you; this confident, self-assured version of yourself that you never knew you had in you. But the reality is, if you want him to treat you differently, if you want to start having the type of relationship that you want with him on your own terms, without you on the begging end, but with you feeling like he's finally treating you the way you know in your heart you deserve to be treated, the way , then this is how it happens. This is the real you! You deserve nothing less than someone who calls you often and with enough notice to get together. You deserve nothing less than someone who knows what he's got in you and knows what is required of him if he wants to be in a relationship with you. The key is just remembering this yourself, believing in yourself, and having the confidence and self esteem to know this is the real you. Dear Jane Thanks for a truly empowering post. And in the bargain what we get is more pain and disillusionment. We need to be happy in every circumstance because every ones situation is different but being happy is a decision that we make. There is peace and rest in just letting go of fantasies of how life should be and giving to ourselves first, and that leaves our lives open for the good to enter. So thank you for taking the time to share and being the caring , empathetic person you are God bless ann OMG, Jane. I'm going through this right now, and I feel like I just needed an external voice to reinforce this mindset. Because, truth be told, if he doesn't make the effort to change and see the dynamic woman in front of him, I'll still be awesome with or without him. It's usually just been, they keep trying, and keep trying, and keep trying, the same way they tried before. What if it's just a generational thing, where people nowadays don't make plans in advance, unless it's something involving tickets or travel? Just my two cents. While certainly cultural and generational differences can play a role, if you're finding that the same guy isn't getting this, you can certainly take the more direct approach and let him know that you need him to make plans with you earlier in the week if he wants to get together on the weekend. Someone who is really interested in getting together with you, won't have any problem with that. When he contacts me, I will decide if I answer his call, I will decide if I want to see him. This already makes me feel stronger, I just hope I don't give in and fall back into my old pushover ways. I'm so glad I read this. NEW ME here I come!! I'm so glad this resonated with you, Sam; and yes, you can do this! Know that you have every right to stand up for yourself and and choose for yourself what you want your life to look like. This is in all that you are, and all that you have, and all that you have to offer someone who. NEW ME here I come is right! He got in touch with me last night wanting to see me, I didn't reply as it was far to late in the evening for my liking. I feel stronger for not acting on his text but I'm not sure what to do next. He needs to know I won't put up with the last minute texts, I want a real date, plans made a few days before etc.... What can I do to make him see I am my own person, I don't need him like this I want him to want me and treat me with more respect. Should I continue to ignore for a while and see what he does next? The more you show him, the more he'll see this, Sam. It takes awhile for someone to see that we're going about things a different way now - and not settling for old patters of behaviors. I wouldn't think of this as playing games with him, as much as taking the focus off of him and putting where it should be - on you. If you haven't already read my post on, you may find it helpful as you sort through this. And if you haven't already communicated this directly to him, make sure you do that. Sometimes someone who's going to get there eventually - and is truly right for you and on your page - simply needs these reminders along the way. He told me he would try harder, but not much changed, so my only option left was for me to step back and see if he missed me enough to do something about it. I do keep my options open even though my heart isn't really in it. I will keep doing as I'm doing and will see what his next move is. At the end of the day I have nothing to lose by doing this and maybe I might have something to gain by standing my ground with him. Exactly, Sam; in time, it always becomes more clear what's really going on. If you've already talked to him about it and now you've stepped back to allow him to fill in the space, you'll soon come to see the reality of what you have and where he's at -and if you're both on the same page here. I completely understand about your heart not being in it when you try to keep your options open. If it helps, remember that this is a mindset more than anything else; that you're worth being with someone who loves you the way you deserve to be loved and sees all that you are and all that you have to offer and doesn't need to be convinced of why he should want to be with you! Hi Jane, Came across ur website last night and i just couldn't stop reading all of it. I've been in a relationship with this guy for two months. Things went so well in the beginning and when we had our first argument about my ex boyfriend, he mentioned that things went very fast for us so there is no reason to take it slow anymore. I agreed to it, i made him realised that i am totally over my ex and things were fine, A week after that he started to withdraw a little bit, there were less phonecalls. He was even reluctant when i mentioned that i would like to meet him during Christmas. That Christmas morning when he said his parents are coming and that i need to leave his house, i felt so rejected and cried in front of him. Things just went worse afterwards. When we met afterwards he just mentioned how i could get so emotionally attached to someone i just know. In his opinion, there were so many stages before reaching a boyfriend girlfriend stage, this includes the going out stage, dating not exclusively and dating exclusively before becoming a boyfriend. I felt so stupid when hearing this but still decided to compromise as i dont want to lose him. Just recently i found out that he is actually still meeting his ex gf regularly, when i confronted him about it, he asked me to give him time to think. He felt that he owes his ex because they had abortion together before and now his ex is diagnosed with some sickness which makes her unable to concieve anymore. It has been three weeks that i havent heard from him, he was away on business trip and i saw his ex actively commented on his fb activities. I am not sure what i need to do now. Should i just let go or should i wait for his decision. That's the key here; it has to come from you in a way that's authentic -anything else will show through. She would say it when something totally unexpected happened that was baffling and annoying and irritating, but she was not going to let it get to her. Her tone was partly humorous and partly edgy. I can see her shaking her head and half-frowning. It is occurring to me now that her words came from a place of self-esteem or, at least, self-preservation. It's been nearly two months since I last took a walk with the man I had been so hopeful about. We did talk briefly the day before Thanksgiving which he was planning to spend with his adult children and granddaughter , but after that he didn't call me, and I decided to stop calling him. I did have one weak moment when called him a few weeks ago, but he didn't return the phone call. I am working today Christmas Eve and noticed his phone number on my caller ID. I didn't pick up the phone. I felt angry tears welling up as I looked at his phone number. I am in the early stages of going on with my life again maybe for the first time. I have been honest with myself about what I want in a relationship, and he has not been able to give me that. He is not a bad person. He is just one of those troubled men who don't know how to be in relationship. He has not been in a committed relationship since his wife took their children and left him 25 years ago. He has been a good father to his children and a respectful ex-husband. Why am I standing up for him? Why don't I stand up for myself? I remembered another difficult relationship where a man I had loved sent me a vase of red roses months after I had last heard from him. I was so angry at him that I took the flowers to the chapel at the hospital and left them there, knowing someone else would enjoy looking at them. As angry as I was, I couldn't throw them in a dumpster. I tried to let the roses and him go, but I found myself going back to the chapel to look at them until they were removed. I find it so difficult to let go. Given that this attempt at relationship after giving up on relationships for many years had not seemed to be going anywhere without my keeping it going, I finally found the strength to truly let go of him earlier this month. It has been very difficult but I want to be true to myself this time. Just like last spring! I have learned so much from you and this community since then. Right how I am feeling afraid to listen to his message, if there is one. The way my mind works, too, is that it is telling me that his cell phone probably called me accidentally. My feelings are so mixed. Frightened now what do I do? I almost hope that his cell phone called me accidentally. Then I am off the hook. I feel too angry right now to engage with him. Maybe that is a good sign. I deserve better than this. I need to get back to work. I am giving him the power to throw me off the balance I have worked so hard for. I want to detach from him with love, not anger. He is the way he is. I am the way I am. I am worthy of true love. Before I go back to work, I have found the courage to listen to the message. He said that he wanted to wish me a Happy Christmas and a Happy New Year on this sunny Christmas Eve afternoon and that he would talk with me another time. Of course I have mixed feelings, and I can detach with love. I can take the message at face value. It is a simple straightforward message after a long silence. He asks nothing of me. He makes no promises. He is thinking of me today. I was thinking of him in the past tense today until he called. Now I need to be present for myself. I need to be true to myself. I wish he hadn't called. And I need to get back to work. It's good that I am self-employed! Thank you for being there and understanding how this feels. I loved your mother's saying. I'm taking that one for myself from now on. Thank you for that. It's a great one. I understand that anger. What I have learned is that that anger pops up for me because deep down I know these men are being selfish by showing up again. It's not about me, it's all about them. I find that anger has propelled me to move on definitively and quickly when I have used it. I channel it into never returning their messages, blocking them and just moving on. That's usually how my healing process begins. It begins with sadness and pain, but quickly they turn to anger. I prefer anger because of that. It roots me out of hoping and idealizing someone who's wrong for me. Be patient with yourself and see your anger as a gift. Merry Christmas to you. Don't give him your power. Always here, Ella, and understanding how this feels more than you know! I'm so glad you're leaning so much here! It's your new spring. Anger is just a cover for something so much deeper. Yes, you absolutely deserve better; get clear on why you do and you're most of the way there!

While I was studying in med school. I know I should have worn that red dress with the extra cleavage. What does this response achieve. Do not keep tabs on your ex. He promised to meet me yet never did. Solo Andrew- I think that Madeline was truthful that no response is the best response, esp.
