Been there. She said she needed time to find herself. I gave her the time. Now we're both happy and in love... with other people. So the moral of the story is.... um, no idea. Nevermind.Originally Posted by rodnunley
But I agree its a mistake to send the letter.

because they all want to get a letter like that. in theory. but they also all say they want to date nice guys too. this isn't a movie. sending of the big heartfelt letter isnt' going lead to the big happy finish walking down the beach into the sunset. sending it right now is just going to make a bad situation worse. give it time.Originally Posted by rodnunley

You can't make her happy, nobody can.

Wait until her head is on straight.
and Rod, I swear I'm not just trying to rain on your parade. I'm really not. I'm only saying any of this because I've written that letter before. I've sent that letter before. It's best just to give her the space she needs right now, and work on yourself. I know it doesn't feel that way, but it is.
I honestly feel that movies and TV impact people's expectations in situations like this.Originally Posted by Brad P
