text: Dude , you gotta listen to those words in your head, she is saying, there is someone else, this is for the best-translation: this is for my best interest. If in time our paths yada yada yada: leave me alone and don't stalk me, if I get kicked to the curb by my new dude, I may give you another shot to build my self esteem back up. "I need some time" : I need some time with my new b/f. what you should do is say thanks for the memories, and part company, I know that may sound like I'm making it sound easy and it's not but you have gotta do it. all of our relationship skills come from past relationships. you gotta learn new skills when ending a relationship or you will resort to using past skills, no matter how tough it is, don't pick up that phone and call her. being a guy, you are inherently built with the idea you can fix this lil problem. that their has to be a solution, problem is , you aren't dealing with a problem, you are dealing with a female, if she wants it a certain way, she will have it her way. every lil mind game you play, she has seen it and probably played it before.\nmen aren't built to lose, we have really big egos and this little fragile thing told you that you weren't good enuf for her anymore.\nit happens, get use to it. the sooner you learn how to deal with being dumped, the better you will get at it. good luck........
