how long does no contact take to work? I've heard 4 weeks,

>>18652353
No contact as in: You're avoiding contacting someone first in order for them to contact you first?

Elaborate pls

GF of a year and a half dumped me, so I'm changing my life around and hoping to get back in touch in awhile, and hoping to show that my life changes are permanent, and then hoping that sparks some interest again. A lotta hope here, but I'm making the changes either way, so if it doesn't work out, I will still have a better life than before.

Not OP but I kinda imagined it means avoiding contact with literally everybody until you go mental and start hallucinating anime girls

I'd be OK with that if they were real enough. maybe I should upload my consciousness online.

If she dumped you then the only thing you should be concerned with is being the better person.

Change your life for yourself and yourself alone. Fuck trying to impress her or spark interest in her again. I've been there and done that. Does not work, and only more problems will arise. I've gotten dumped by the same woman twice. Fuck that.

Use this as a stepping stone to greater things. Focus on yourself firstly, maybe even find a better GF. Keep in touch with your ex if you'd like, but don't make it the end-all goal.

Yeah man, the breakup really opened my eyes. I realized I've been in a rut, and I've been getting in my own way. I want a rich life. It would be nicer with her in it, but I want this for myself. It's a really weird feeling. I've never really enjoyed living and I'm sort of tired of that now, and ready for a change.

>>18652468
It would NOT be nicer with her in it. She dumped you. She doesnt respect you. Even if she starts respecting the new you for some time, she will go back to being herself and will dump you again. You be better version of yourself. You will find a better partner than her. Be indifferent towards her. Dont be so desperate for her. Girls can sense this desperation from a mile. Forget her. Move on.

what if she meets my criteria for a partner?

i get what you're saying, and I feel some of that myself, but I'm pretty specific about who I go for. Should I try to convert her into a casual FWB?

Even if she meets your criteria, as of now you dont meet her criteria. She didnt want you when you were yourself...as if she is better than you. She thinks she is but she is not. Everybody's shit stinks the same. She disrespected you. Forget her. There are plenty of fish in the sea. You think she is 'the one' but that's just your hormones talking. Remember, a girl's value decreases with age and a guy's value increases. Teenage years are the best for a girl and the worst for a boy. It's all downhill for a girl and uphill for a boy. You will see that your gfs will be better than the previous one as you age.

Fwb never works out. Fuck her if you get a chance but don't expect it to be a fwb situation. You are already smitten with her. Imagine you two are fwbs and then one day she tells you that she got a bf and so will not sleep with you. It will break your heaart even worse. Use her as a fucktoy if you can but nothing more.

No Contact is a test not a method. If she doesn't contact you back at any point, she's not interested. You're supposed to talk to other women in meantime. Find someone else, OP.
