Advice to a friend

That's a good idea about giving me the cell phone. I think you're right about him not taking action and really I don't think threats of you not being there anymore are going to help him make a decision or take action finally. Hopefully the therapist will help him sort things out over the next couple of months and then maybe down the line he'll be ready for a relationship with you. I wish I could say I thought he was ready now, but he's just not. That sucks about the picture being back up. Sever the ties on Tuesday and don't look back till he comes to you! Know what I mean??? And call me when you feel like calling him or go out and have some fun. Make out with random guys. Oh, you know what helped me when I was pining away for this guy who was throwing a bone here and there but was totally sending me all kinds of mixed messages and I was having a really hard time letting go? Every time I thought of him, of why he hadn't asked me out for the weekend or why he called but then didn't ask me out, or why this or that… I just said to myself "I don't care." I don't care I don't care I don't care. And I know that seems silly and the truth is that I did care but I got really good at stopping myself from obsessing by using that one line and eventually I didn't care. I saw him and he tried to flirt and I walked away laughing thinking, "and to think I once cared! Hmph!"
