What do you do when a girlfriend dumps you?
My sister was musing the other day on the whole bros-before-hos and chicks-before-dicks conundrum. She was saying that friends are not necessarily more reliable than lovers.
And this is true.
I had a great friend back in high school. Immediately after meeting, we connected on all these super-absurd levels.
We remained good friends through college and afterward.
After a while, we were hanging out and speaking less often, our lives had become so
busy.
But when we did reconnect it was always just like old times.
I’m not sure what I did but she hasn’t returned my phone calls for months.
I was racking my brain for some transgression, some slight I’d committed unwittingly.
Did I owe her money (possible but unlikely)?
Had I flirted with a guy she liked (certainly not)?
Did I forget to call her on her birthday (ok I’m guilty of this one but all who really know me know not to take this personally)?
Had I let too much time lapse between phone calls (probably guilty of that one as well)?
But she ended our friendship without even discussing it with me; something you almost expect from a man but never from your best girlfriend.
I still call and leave a message every now and then, to ask how she is and to let her know I still think about her.
But I know she won’t call back.
And yeah it sucks.
With a man you can in many cases easily get over him by dating/sleeping with someone else (or so we love to tell ourselves).
A girlfriend however, a good girlfriend, is not so easily replaced.

I couldn’t understand some parts of this article girlfriend dumps you, but I guess I just need to check some more resources regarding this, because it sounds interesting.
Whatz up, I am glad I pressed harder enough until I found friendship dating, because this post on girlfriend dumps you was extremely helpful. Just last Monday I was pondering on this quite a bit.
