    I did a dumb thing!
    Hi, Well here is my question. I met this guy about 2 months ago through my mother and
    His mother. I liked him a lot but didn't do anything because it felt awkward. Also later I
    Found out he had a girlfriend. 2 months passed by and I heard he broke up with his girlfriend. I wasn;t sure though. I found his e-mail and started e-mailing him cards.
    I din't tell him who I was. I also found his phone number. I called his cell phone I started
    Calling him but didn't get the nerve to say anything so I kept hanging up. ANyhow he found out it was me. He is mad at me. He didn't understand why I didn't just call him and tell him who I was.I tried to explain to him that I wanted to but I felt weird because of the way we met. I said was sorry in an e-mail. FROm my e-mail this time. My question what can I do to try to get this guy to give me second chance... THank you:confused: I also told him I felt if he rejected me he would tell his mom I called him. HE said he wouldn't do that.He also said it wasn't the e-mails that bothered him it was the phone calls..

    The phone calls you made were reminiscent of prank calls, which is probably why he's angry. Leave the phone alone and send him an email saying whatever it is you want to say. If he does not return the email or call you, forget it.

    What should I do?
    How many times should I say sorry to someone? I met this guy through family. I was scared to call him. So I emailed him without telling him who I am. I also tried calling him
    And kept hanging up because I was nervous. Now he is mad at me . HOw many times
    Should I say sorry to convince him to give me a second chance...

    To be honest you will probably not get another chance. The behavior you exhibited was inappropriate and it probably freaked him out that someone he does not know began calling and emailing him.

    Apologizing once is enough and leave it alone. I'm sure its an uncomfortable situation for all parties involved and you should just let it lie.

    One time will be fine. Just explain to him what happened and why you hung up on him. I am sure you both will get a good laugh out of it:)

    If you've sincerely said sorry to him and he won't accept it then I wouldn't say it anymore. YOu have tried and it is up to him whether he wants to forgive you now. No amount of saying sorry will make him change his mind. In fact it will probably only annoy him more.

    You've admitted you made a mistake and if he was any type of guy worth being with then he would just get over it and realise you had your reasons for acting how you did.

    If he can't accept that then don't worry about him. He'd probably only make your life a misery anyway if he lives with anger and resentment.

    U didn't do anything wrong why you apologize for it.
    All you did was being shy and didn't tell him you wrote to him-anything wrong with it?
    He didn't get your vibe , that's his fault.his loss!
    I won't get mad because someone did this to me.
    I just don't see there is a reason to like him anymore! Move on, there are tons of good guys out there. Someone who will be appreciate you and love you.

    How to convince a man?
    I e-mailed this guy without telling him who I was. Than I called hime and kept hanging
    Up because I was nervous. This only happened 4 or 5 days. When he found it it was me
    He told me If I Had called and told him who I was he would have spoken to me. I e-mailed
    Him that I was sorry. I want to call him and tell him I'm sorry on the phone to. How
    Can I convince this guy to give me another chance... Thank you

    Well firstly he can't give you a second chance, there is no chance to give. I mean you have not based on what you said connected yet.

    It would seem that you are letting your emotions get the better of you, it happens to us all but it makes you do things that once done you regret. Instead of doing things in a way you would like to do. If you continue, then you will spend more time apologising than doing what you want/need to do and that is get to know him.

    Tip: When your emotions are running really high and you feel overwhelmed... STEP BACK, emotionaly take a step back, don't act on them. When your emotions are not as high then act on them, don't overthink things.

    You like a guy and want to get to know him. Right ! Role reversal, imagine somebody liking you and wanting to get to know you, what would work... There is your answer.

    Good luck.

    TO be honest with you at this moment the more u try to convince him, the worse it will turn.
    Just let it go, and I truly don't think u need to apologize for what u have done.

    Just call him. He's probably willing enough to give you another chance. Just don't keep on being so shy and hanging up.

    At least you were honest enough to admit it was you. But you must realize that he probably may think that , that was an immature thing to do. You apologized to him already and if he wants to give it a try with you then you must believe that in time he will let you know. But calling him to apologize AGAIN, is a little bit too much. He might think you're a.)stalker b.)needy or c.)annoying
    Good luck

    What should I Do?
    I met this guy through my mom and I really liked him. At that time he went back to a woman who he was engaged with that hurt him. Well that was 2 months ago. I heard he wasn't with this woman anymore. I was thinking about contacting him but I feel weird.
    What if he is still with this woman and I was wrong. Or what if he tells his mom I called. His
    Mom and my mom know each other. I know he liked me when we met. I heard he did. I
    Also could tell by the way he looked at me. I'm just scared he turns me down and tells
    His mom.. WHat should I do..

    Let it go for another few months maybe 6 months and make sure that he really is breaking up with his ex or you will just become the person he turns to when he needs a side fling.

    I do but I also believe it only takes us so far. I also believe that destiny is not an absolute and that we always have the power to change any "fated" situation.

    Nope.

    I can't really support controlling one's own destiny, either. If it is predestined, then it will happen regardless of your efforts.

    I have a relative to makes CRAPPY choices all the time, screws life up, and the fav phrase, when in the middle of it all is, "well, whatever happens, its God's will"...

    Makes me want to puke.

    no... actually, I think if God's will was for this person to make these awful choices, they'd have been born with their head already up their arse.

    I believe we have opportunity and gifts. And we also make our own opportunity and mold ourselves.

    People who talk about destiny sometimes talk about soul mates when it comes to relationships. I also cannot stand that talk. I have a great wife. Good marriage. But I know she's not the only person in the world for me and I know I'm not the only one for her. If something were to happen to me, I think she could find another mate that would be loving, kind, generous, humble... you know, like me. ;) we made a choice. A decision.

    Ah... my point... is... uh... I think bad things happen to good people without it being their destiny. I think good things happen to good people, sometimes by chance and sometimes by effort. And I don't think belief or disbelief in God changes any of that.

    And now I have a date with a brownie. Its destined to be gone very, very soon.

    Should you take a chance?

    Go after it ?

    Life is a chance, getting up and out of bed each morning is a chance.

    Should you turn right or left, try to beat that yellow light or stop, everything thing we do is a chance.

    How many times should you go back to an ex?
    I know someone who was dating a woman who he was engaged to. They broke up.She
    Broke his heart? Than he goes back to her. Just your opinion what do you think . Could going back to an ex work. And how many should you go back till it's enough.. Thank you
  • Aug 18, 2007, 10:59 PM

    If you keep going back and breaking up again, it's not working, which is why they keep breaking up.
    When you get tired of the up and down drama, then it will be enough and you'll stop going back.
  • Aug 19, 2007, 12:39 AM

    Going back really doesn't work... momentarily it does... but long term.. A big NO. When you first break up, you have reasons to do so and when you get back, it still lingers on in the back of your mind... subconscious mind to be precise. So even if you work hard, it rarely works. Best is to chuck up what's broken and look for another experience.

    Going back to an ex can work but it usually doesn't. As they always say, "it's broke for a reason." And repeatedly going back and getting into a cycle of breakups and reconciliations is definitely out. That just becomes a big power game and is totally unhealthy.

    Once is one too many times. I'm sure it's terribly hard, but they are continually setting themselves up for heart break - moving on is the only direction they should be going.
