Been on and off talking to this girl, couple dates etc over the past few months. Wasn't progressing. Started reading TRP but still didn't have the balls to cut her off. Friends telling me she ain't right for me and that I can do better. Finally she takes interest in a friend of mine while drunk. Let her have what she wanted, didn't beta out and cry about it or tell her no.
Ran into her last night and just gave a courteous hello have fun (I don't believe it's professional to not do this - makes you look like you have baggage). My friends were all like "wow she's gotten uglier" and "wow look she just wandered off and literally has no friends here and keeps looking back at you."
For the first time I stuck to my guns, and (key point here) didn't overthink it and try to come up with an asshole way to "get her back" - just accepted that it's over and that I can do better. That was the biggest relief of all. No oneitis-like "I'll never do better" or "maybe she'll come back."
My mood, work performance, drive, and everything has gone through the roof already. I haven't felt this good in months bros. Went out last night with friends and didn't awkwardly keep thinking about how to see her again. Already got great new prospects on the table that I'm excited about too.
If you know deep down inside that you're keeping someone around who you should next, trust me, just do it.
Thanks TRP.
Edit/update: went out for the holiday and had a great time with friends. Work performance is back up, my appetite is back, sleeping less - all things I didn't even realize were related. Lined up a girl I've had my eyes on too, and met another who's super cool last night (and way better and cuter than the one I was hung up on). Best part, oneitis girl's attempts to contact me, which I knew would come in time, aren't phasing me emotionally at all. Swipe, delete conversation.

Any tip for when that girl is a coworker ?
I'm not exactly an orbiter (she has very clearly expressed both verbally and physically that I made her wet) but she has an orbiter and I want to truly move on. I've kept the flirting alive for so long, out of boredom at the workplace (seriously, i can't have 8 hours a day of NON STOP productivity), because i thought i could manage it and because it felt good that the sexiest girl at the job felt that way for me.
But it's taking a toll on my sleep, appetite, drug use, overall discipline, and interest in other chicks.
The OIS is mild enough that if she were to just disappear out of my life, I'd be totally fine. But I have to fucking be around her most days if not every day.
And yes, I'm trying to look for another job (I would be doing that with or without her in the picture) but I believe I'll have to stick for a long while still and build something I can sell to another company.

Thanks! I spent years doing it the other way. Always trying to prove I was better, or looking for a way to "win." I didn't realize I was simply causing myself more stress and embarrassment. Plus, girls can't really throw you any drama later if you're not playing games etc.
StraightGlueWater 8y ago
I'm surprised she didn't reapproach. That's pretty common when the table is flipped. Girls who used to have power over you, and knew it, generally get quite taken aback when you suddenly show signs of being back in power (controlling frame).
This demonstrates, in her mind, that maybe your SMV has increased such that her power over you is gone.
Especially great with exes who come up after a cordial "Hey, good to see you, have a great night." And say "Really, just gunna say 'S, good to see you?'"
Guaranteed fuck if the above happens.
[deleted] 8y ago
She'd have to come up to me and shove her hand in my pants at this point for me to even consider taking her home. Not worth going back otherwise. More motivation to meet better girls.
I'm sure there will be a text or two attempting this over the next few weeks that I'll just have to handle accordingly.

This is off topic, but I just want to point something out here. I am a non religious Buddhist, but I also consider myself pretty alpha. Sometimes on here I see things that I cannot agree with, just too much sometimes, too far. I am on other subs and see Red Pill hate from plenty of users, mostly from people who clearly do not understand what it's all about. But sometimes I see things like this post and it is just so positive it makes me proud. That's really it, just an observation. Keep it up op.
TheOtherWalternate 8y ago
It's because you see he handled it maturely, still treated her with respect, but moved on.
[deleted] 8y ago
Buddhist as well...and part of that for me is self respect as well. But I also tried the whole "be a dick to people" life and it didn't get me far. Back to being nice these days whilst standing up for myself.

It sucks to be the one to say that, but it's not that easy. You'll be thinking about her for a very, very long time, whether you want this or not. You can boast as much as you can, and sure, you'll be patted on the back by a bunch of other redpillers, but it takes ages before you can really recover. If ever.
[deleted] 8y ago
Yep definitely truth to that. I just try to remember why I checked out and don't like her, and how happy I am now. Gives me motivation to stay out. It's been years since I've been through this, and I remember it can take a while to be totally free
Auvergnat 8y ago
Well done.
Wondering how to behave when a girl does X or Y? Ask yourself:
"What would I do if I had 100 other girls at the moment?" (credit deangelo)
Even if you don't have other prospects/plates, the answer to this question is often the best thing you can do in any situation.
[deleted]
[deleted] 8y ago
This has actually helped me as well, as far as something you can do without the help of others.
Or go out, find a girl you think is really attractive, and imagine she has all the qualities of the girl you're hung up on. Chances are, you'll realize you can do better.

resolutions316 8y ago
I had the same thought, but I think that's the point. Aloof + self confident = more success than putting in a lot of "effort."
I don't have first hand evidence of this (I'm married - the principles are similar but I've never applied Rp to dating), but I think this is what the response would be.

Agreed, this is exactly how it's done, you just be courteous and show them that they didn't get the best of you and they'll be the ones feeling like they missed out.
I was in a similar position once and told her I thought we should just be friends. Few weeks after that she contacts me asking if she could come over but I held my ground. She spent the next few months looking at every single one of my snapchat stories literally the instant I posted them.
It ain't nothin' to cut that bitch off
[deleted] 8y ago
A good friend of mine used the friend card to his advantage like that. Girl kept asking him to be friends after they'd had sex. He finally said "okay, you wanna be friends, let's be friends." He then went and found more girls and treated her just like an average guy friend. She was crying about it in no time.
In my case, I made a point too about her asking for my friend. Nothing dramatic, just so she knows I'm not naive and that it doesn't bother me.
kealh 8y ago
I had a conversation with a this girl at work the other day. She is a 4 at best with a horrendous personality. We were talking life, relationship w.e and she told me she was dating this guy. She then asked me, " what if a girl that don't like you but you like her, would you stop or trying to make her like you?" I literally busted out laughing, " No, what for, she can leave." The looked on her face, "No, I don't agree with that." "Ok, i don't care."
This girl then go on and told me about her bf who chased her over time and she of course finally let "HIM" won over her heart. (he was orbiting for 6 months and she finally give him a chance because her ugly ass can't find anyone else.)
I can tell this bitch will branch swing the moment she find a replacement. So I probed her and she told me about how her bf cry all the time and she didn't like that. This is a classic case of weak man with weak frame dating ugly ass woman who thinks they are better and act like cunts. GOD, I feel sorry for this dude, but damn I guess when you're that ugly you have to settled. LOL. I can't stand women who act like cunts. I don't mind ugly women. I can't stand ugly women with entitlement personality.

Insendi 8y ago
I love this. I was an orbiter to a chick except we had no dates at all I was just blindly thinking I'd have a chance. So one day I just told her flat out I like you do you feel anything for me yes or no? She said no and just like that I cut her out of my life.
It's been 2 months and she's tried to come back into my life in so many ways. Especially cause I've lost like 30 pounds since we last spoke and I'm turning into a hot god so she defintly tryna get some. But fuck those chicks ????
Edit: Because people took the weight cut literally Im gonna be more specific. In truth I went down 27.8 Lbs. From 203 to 175.2 from April 27th to today July 3rd. I went on a Ketosis diet and worked out twice a day lifting in the mornings and burning at least 1000 calories doing HIIT whether it be inclined sprints or stairmaster. Alongside I would on somedays train in MMA.
Second Month I was fasting for ramadan, which lowered my caloric intake by a lot less then it already was and still was working out.
TL; DR: It's possible to lose like 30 lbs in 2 months
[deleted] 8y ago
Similar situation here man. It's crazy how time goes by and you don't even realize it. Then months have gone by and realize how much energy and time you've wasted for nothing.
Also helps when a female friend (which I do believe is fine to have) is there and points out the girl's flaws which you noticed but turned a blind eye to. Really hit me hearing "dude she's a loser because xxxxxxx, you can do way better" from someone I trust.
BobLordOfTheCows 8y ago
Lesbian friends are best for this
jb_trp 8y ago
Yup. Especially if you're fatter, you can lose a lot of weight. I started keto weighing 181.6 lbs, and went down to 162 in about 40 days. A lot of the initial loss is water weight, but it felt good to slim down. I would rock climb a few days per week for several hours, and lift a few days on my off days. I also did intermittent fasting (breakfast at 8 am, lunch at 12, dinner at 4 pm). I haven't been on keto for two weeks, so I've probably put on 5 lbs or more.
LibertyIsNotFree 8y ago
Fwiw intermittent fasting hasn't really been shown to do anything as long as you wait 12 hours from dinner until next meal. That pause is important for the body to properly burn calories internally without food available as a source of energy.
There has been some pretty good correlation to IF providing benefits in reduced appetite, fewer hunger pangs, and so forth. So it seems it might have some psychological benefit but not necessarily any real difference vs being a natural deterrent to calories in.
Pires007 8y ago
You lost 30 pounds in 2 months...
LordThunderbolt 8y ago
Definitely possible, he also lost a lot of muscle I bet.
niczar 8y ago
Completely possible with keto, in part because some of the initial loss is water but not only. I a bit more than that in 3 months myself.
LibertyIsNotFree 8y ago
I lost 25 in one, 50 in 3 months, 65 in 4.
At this point I'd be losing some still but now I'm gaining weight back in muscle mass (digital scale tracks not just weight but muscle weight, BF%, etc)
Later this year will be the knives to eliminate the skin I should have never let myself stretch out. But I didn't have control over my actions before where as I took ownership of them and record everything I eat and drink that has more than 40 calories.
I've went to the gym somewhere around 91 days out of the past 105 days. I didn't start keeping records properly far enough back to know precisely. 30 out of the most recent 36. Actually missed the most in a while with holidays and vacation etc. Generally it's 7 days a week, sometimes one day I won't run or won't lift, usually it's both.
Also at this point I'm doing lifetime maximums in lifts. Pretty much every exercise is up 20-30% in weight from merely 2 weeks ago (been on creatine and whey now for almost 3 weeks, seems highly correlated)

Plus, everyone knows that just being friends isn't going to win a girl over. If you need a little BP to help ween you off, just think to yourself that the only way she'll ever come chase you (giving you an opportunity) is if you walk.
Do car salesmen drop prices when you sit there and tell them you can't afford it, or when you walk?
Psychocist 8y ago
Great analogy! And why do you do that? Because you have the power of options and they feel the competition.
Of course, a car salesman really wants to sell you a car. To women, men are disposable. It's important to build attraction first.

exit_sandman 8y ago
This is key.
If you want to free yourself, you have truly accept that a certains hip has sailed and also get into the mindset that you wouldn't change it even if you could. And this change of heart must be genuine, not just sour grapes. You must be willing to kick her out of your bed if you found her there tonight.
Once you get into that mindset, the oneitis will disappear.
banjew 8y ago
Guess what, you are thinking about her now. In fact probably you are thinking about her constantly.
Do you think I would spend my time writing 2 words about some bitch I used to date some years ago? No. I truly forgot them. I have nothing to say about them, because they are out of my mind. Don't remeber even how many of those bitches I dated.
Don't fool yourself, you don't forget somebody if you write articles about them in the internet.
