Peter’s lament
I have a friend… let’s call him Peter.
Peter is 21, tall, fit, funny, interesting, etc etc. His job pays well, he gets a lot of hours, and on the side, when he’s not teaching hip-hop or cheerleading for York University, he’s a DJ at a local club. In short, Peter is a fuckin’ CATCH AND A HALF.
Peter is recently single.
Now I know what you’re thinking. “Holy shit, this guy must be STOKED! He’s smart, rich, and free of girlfriendly attachments!” Peter is anything but stoked. Since the breakup, he has pined and bitched and generally NOT been cool about the whole thing. Peter has thunderclouds in his MSN handle and says things like “I would do anything to make it better” and “My fate has decided my life” and Dashboard Confessional-type bullshit like that.
Gentlemen: If (God forbid) your possessive, controlling, possibly philandering girlfriend cuts you loose, you are better off. When you’re in a relationship where you put your heart, time and cash into making things work, and the other person just sits there and receives it all, and all you get is passable sex, you can probably do better… unless you are really hairy… or completely hairless.
If you (for some bizzarre reason) want her back, here are a few strategies GUARANTEED to make you miserable even if you get your wish. 1) Pine for her, arrest the rest of your life 2) call incessantly 3) Tell her “I’ll do anything” 4) Write poetry and send it to her 5) Talk to all her friends to find out what went wrong 6) Blame yourself for EVERYTHING (unless you cheated, then it is your own fault you bastard).
The best advice I ever got from a girl was “women like MEN”. If you want to impress this bitch, then be a man! Tell her “I don’t know why you’d give up the good thing you’ve got, but if you want to talk to me about it, you have my number”. Then, SEE OTHER PEOPLE! Jealousy is an aphrodisiac. If you let her think that she can control you, then she WILL. If you say you’ll wait for her, she’ll make you wait. If you say you’ll make it work, she’ll make you work. If you say that you can do better, she just might believe you.
But seriously don’t get back together with her unless she has a big booty and a nice rack… or a best friend/sister/mom with same and you have a reasonable chance of a threesome.
