@MidgetSpinner @MidgetSpinner that poor bastard. I mean, almost all of us have been there at some point, missing an eager lay because we didn't see the signs until we already left.

I remember an episode of "Seinfeld" in which a woman invites George up to her apartment for coffee. He declines, saying something like, "eh, no thanks. It's way too late in the day for coffee. If I have some, I'll be up all night. Well, see ya!" Then maybe 30 seconds later as he's walking down the sidewalk, the realization hits him.

It happens to all of us at least once or twice (or several times, in younger me's case). I hope that OP dude learns from this and takes better advantage of his next opportunity.

Anyway, I still have to post this pic after reading all of his nerdular nerdence:

Good to see one of my protégés finally begin to flourish.

Young dude about 23. About a year ago he started dating this alt chick, bit of a wild one used to love partying and doing drugs. He came to me for advice and I told him to give that one a wide berth. But he had love in his eyes and he didn't listen, got into a relationship with her anyway.

To my surprise, it actually started to work out. She cut out all of the partying/drinking/drugs. Seem to get herself on a good path and she seemed like a decent girl. And honestly they seemed like a pretty wholesome couple.

Well... cut forward to a month or two ago. He ends up having a bit of a tough time with various personal factors. And lo and behold, suddenly she "needs some space".

He comes to me on the day of the breakup and he's pretty beat up about the whole thing. I coach him through and drop a few truth bombs on him. She's gonna go off and fuck another dude almost instantly (if she hasn't already), she's gonna try and keep you in orbit, and she'll eventually circle around and try to rope you back in. Didn't believe me but i thought give it time.

Well what happens. While he's beat up about the whole thing, he finds out that the text she made to breakup with him (yes, text) was when she was out partying and doing drugs and she banged some guy that same night.

He comes back to me like dude, you were right the whole time you predicted everything. Yup. And since then he's been enlightened.

It's been a while since the breakup, me and him were out chilling. He dropped that he was gonna start hitting up the scene again wanted to get some plates. Considering only a few months back this guy was blue as blue and only wanted to date "with purpose", he's seeing the light.
