James Bauer’s Texting Tip of the Week
“What do you think I should do about _______?”
Asking for his opinion shows you’re interested in what he thinks. Asking his advice shows you trust him.
Using this phrase will cause him to feel valued and more a part of your life.
Examples:
“What do you think I should do about the gym membership?”
“What do you think I should do about my mom calling all the time?”
“What do you think I should do about Ann?”
Warning:
Worried that you might not use his advice on a particular topic? Find a safer one. You don’t need to listen to him every time. But if you make a habit of asking and then ignoring him, he’s likely to feel frustrated eventually.
Agree, but that isn’t my issue. How do I get over the love of my life who moved away almost 1-1:2 years ago.
If he is truly the love of your life, you don’t get over him. But, if you cannot be together then you have to go on without him…
Do what you need to do to forget about him and find someone who wants to be with you.
Shift your focus from him to you. Find things to do that inspire you, things you find passion in. Pour all that love into yourself. The rest will work itself out. Dwelling on something that no longer is only hurts you.
