    Oh and my ex is now offically going out with the guy she was seeing... this makes me incredibly angry but i'm hiding it atm. Still got to take her out to dinner in January...

    hmm... why do you have to take her out?? If you do, make sure you lace her food with laxatives :rotfl:

    I'm not posting my list either - maybe extracts...

    why do you have to take her to dinner TDQO?

    She took me out for lunch when I was skint. I promised her I would a few weeks ago when we were on slightly friendlier terms. She doesn't know I'm not so friendly anymore.

    I'd say I'd take her out then be really busy and make her wonder what I'd been up to... then take her out near the end of the hols when you've calmed down a bit.

    Haha I'm tempted! I'd rather try to impress her but i know she isn't impressed my expensive restaurants etc, she's very unmaterialistic.

    I'm very confused about her cus we had a great thing going but i don't know whether I miss her or the amazing s*x, especially as she told me that if she wasn't seeing this guy she'd have me over every night for a bit of fun. It kind of made me feel used which was a new experience!

    Why try to impress someone who you used to go out with but is now going out with someone else? She's not worth it, really. I know you miss her now, but you've been away for a while so you're bound to feel emotional about everyone. Please don't rush into anything - not even dinner.

    Sorry to be blunt, but she's a pr!ck tease. I know because, hell, I've used that line before! It's a power thing. She wants you to want her, and yeah sure you could have great s*x with her again, but you'd feel absolutely awful the next day. Is it really worth it???

    For what it's worth, I'd suggest you don't mention anything about lunch, dinner, drinks, anything. Have a happy Christmas with your family and friends (not ex GFs) and catch up with the new girl from the gig in January. Who knows, she could be a real catch, and is it worth risking a new and exciting thing for your ex??

    Sorry if that's a bit of a lecture. I'm just looking out for you. You're too nice to be messed around.

    I don't have a house :(

    I'm shacking up with a series of girls atm, all friends that don't mind sharing a bed with me.

    I want to do the 100 things list but seeing as I have to spend at least 6months of 2009 in australia I won't be able to do much due to the whole no friends/money/transport thing.
