    Sounds like childish drama. I would advise you both grow up a bit and leave the relationship in memory as a lesson.

    Leaving Notes? Long Distance?

    No.

    I too think that the relationship was over when it was over, and that you shouldn't persue it.

    This said, if you want a critique on the letter idea itself and not my opinion on the whole relationship, I would think that this is the best way to go. I don't think it's a good idea, but I think it's the best idea.

    So.. you don't want to be with Sarah? Because she was right there and wanted to be with you. If you were really feeling committed to Mary, you wouldn't have gone on the one date.

    I think you pretty much blew it with Mary when you told her not to come, which may be for the best if it's okay in your mind to make out with Sarah (for a week) two days before Mary was slated to arrive.

    Honestly, that was some pretty stupid bullshit, as well as a good sign that you are not feeling the slightest commitment to anything with Mary. Have you even stopped seeing Sarah, or told her what was going on? I would let it go, date Sarah, and move on. And if Sarah no longer wants anything to do with you, find someone new.

    Sorry it's harsh, but you're not a kid and you don't need to be playing games with people's hearts.

    Thanks for everyone's 2 cents.
    My relationship with her has inevitably turned into the focus of this thread.
    So let's go ahead and close this, please.
    Thanks

    This isn't the movies.

    Commiting one big act of "romantic" gesture like driving cross country doesn't automatically save a relationship.

    right well since apparently you don't want advice on your "relationship" but just your "idea", here is advice on your idea.

    It is cataclysmically stupid, can only really go wrong and has no redeeming feature to it whatsoever. There is literally no way you could make the plan any worse.

    Trying to piece together the original post from Ceres' description is the most fun I've had all day.
    (Not really.)
    But still.

    What a crybaby. No one "misplaced" their advice, you were too ambiguous. Don't make a thread asking for advice and then sulk because you didn't hear what you wanted to.

    Plus, the relationship has everything to do with the original question. While I maintain the letter is the best (read un-worst-er?whatever) idea, it is hopeless and shouldn't be attempted BECAUSE the relationship was ended. That's it. I don't care if you don't want to hear it, that's still the truth.
    But the letter is still a good idea, like how wearing a helmet and elbow+shoulder pads is a better idea than not wearing them if you decide you're skydiving without a parachute (even though we told you not to but you then bitch that you only want us to judge the idea of the helmet and not of the skydiving itself).

    PS: I don't want to see anyone bring up statistics that actually prove me wrong on this skydiving thing, please. I refuse to believe that wearing a helmet would be worse.
