We aren't in grade 2 anymore, there are no "take-backs"...

I change my mind a lot, I can be very indecisive. Before I leave the house, I will probably have changed my outfit at least half a dozen times. But after changing my mind and going back to Jake so many times only to have it end again, I decided that I would never go back to an ex again.

There’s only so many times you can go back to a person and pretend the problems that you’ve always had in the relationship suddenly wont be there anymore.
I was dating a guy and things were starting to head towards “in a relationship” status. I was fairly indifferent on the matter.
We were talking one day and he turned the conversation to what we were doing. I asked him what he thought and he said “I want you to be my girlfriend”. (He also said a lot of other romantic crap that quickly becomes void with the next part of the story)
I said sure, since on several occasions he had already introduced me as his girlfriend anyway.
Then I get a phone call about a week later. He said “I don’t want you to be my girlfriend anymore. But I want to keep hanging out.” To which I replied “Ok, and no, we wont be seeing each other anymore.”

He kept calling me and sending me text messages, but I wouldn’t answer them. I went out with a couple of girlfriends about 2 weeks after he had ended things. He showed up and started following me around. I ignored him until he came up to me and said; “I take it back. I miss you. I love you.” (We had never actually said I love you when we dated)
I didn’t know what to say to him, I had no words. Not because I was flattered by his proclamation, because I wasn’t. I was more embarassed for him then anything. So I didn’t say anything back except “I need to leave.”

I continued to ignore his calls until they eventually stopped. About 2 months later I ran into his best friend. We started chatting and he decided to let me in on a secret. Turns out their group of friends had a bet going and the first guy that “settled down” and got a girlfriend had to pay up a $1000. Classy.

Looking back I’m beyond happy that I didn’t go back to him. Exes are like drugs, they are always going to be there to tempt you, but remember to just say no!
