Hi bob,

When a woman is done, she’s done.

It doesn’t matter that she chased you in the past. It doesn’t matter that she wanted to get married right away, or was clingy.

Even though you bought the ring, even though you had a deep bond, even though you finally realized you loved her, it doesn’t matter now.

She made the decision. She’s done.

If she is indeed gorgeous, I’m not surprised she found another guy so quickly. The other guy was probably lurking in the background this whole time, patiently waiting for the relationship’s demise, alluring her with the promise of a better match.

Dude, if you truly want her back, your best bet right now is to back WAY off! Don’t contact her again for at least a year. Every time she decides to ignore your or says “No”, that is only working to solidify her decision in her mind. This time you wait for THIS relationship to fail. THEN go to her (remember, still go no contact until 2019) THEN say, “How are you doing?”

Good Luck,

Inky
