Project Ex-Girlfriend
A noble experiment.
If you get lonely during the year or perhaps during an extended period between relationships, simply contact all of your ex’s from the past 2 to 3 years.
Keep in mind that this isn’t some drunk dial or random contact. You need to keep your game up at the “A” level. The goal is to re-establish contact and parlay that into a physical encounter. Remember, you are not getting back together. It is a hook up.
I recommend a well thought out email. You’ll need a believable reason why you are contacting this person. I prefer to mention some event that happened recently and somehow relate it to them. For example, “I was going through my pictures and I found one from our trip to Las Vegas” or “You remember my friends Scott and Mollie, they asked how you have been lately.”
A phone call can also be used. However, it is easier to use the email due to the fact you can perfect it before sending. A phone call and you are on your own. If you do select the phone call be sure to do it at a reasonable hour on a weekday. I suggest 7pm on a Tuesday. That is a nice, non-drunk dial time to be calling.
Whatever the bullshit reason, do not mention that you miss them, the relationship or getting back together. You are basically just checking in to see how things are going. How well this goes depends a lot on how you left the relationship. If it was a horrible break-up I suggest leaving her off the list. If it was amicable ending or a break up on decent terms then include her. If you did the breaking up, she was still into you and it ended on good terms… jackpot.
However you left it be careful when trying to pick it back up.
Some advantages to trying this project out:
1. No strings attached booty
2. Chicks dig it (their number doesn’t go up)
3. Usually pretty safe
4. Connect with old friends (haha)
Some disadvantages:
1. Can make you look desperate if not done properly
2. Provides an avenue for someone who wants to get even for something
3. You can get dragged back into a bad relationship
4. Beware the crazy factor. Most women equate sex with love on some level.
Currently it is way too close to Valentine’s Day to try this out. Although, right after Valentine's Day is not a bad idea guys.
The fifteenth of February… I can almost smell the desperation already.
It is no coincidence that February 15th is the beginning of the Dating Season.
