Can't get over that one plate

Yes. It's unreasonable not to compare the women you've been with. Some experiences / chemistry / sex is just plain better than others.

The biggest mistake I think guys make is assuming the early stages of platehood is how it would remain if they moved to an LTR. Even though we know that familiarity breeds contempt, our male hamster wheel tries to deceive us that somehow she is different. Better. A missed long-term chance.

So the best place to leave fond plate memories is exactly where they are: as nice memories. Because striking anything back up will never be as good as it once was.

You lost your best plate but gained a higher standard for yourself. This is a net win if you can try to search for a higher standard and believe you will find it.

But she randomly started ignoring and we just never fucked again.

With any girl you're fucking, always always always remind yourself not only that "it's your turn" blah blah blah, but that it can end at any time, without a head's up, just like that.

I've been in your shoes several times before, looking back at old conquests wistfully, thinking to myself: "Jesus, that was some sizzling piece of ass. I don't think I'll get one like that ever again", and sure enough, some time down the line, I get one that may not be 'better' in every single department, but certainly hits some notes higher than a previous girl.

should have put a ring on it then newb...... plates don't spin forever. at some point, if things are THAT good, it has to transition into a relationship. otherwise the girl wont get the comfort they need... something you probably didn't do. now that she isn't "chasing" you anymore, your attraction builds (see how that works guys?).

get over it, OP, she found another man that is probably offering her some stability.

Does anyone ever experience a loss of their best plate?

That's the nature of the plate. They're not meant to be forever.

Anytime I get a new plate I just look at it as a downgrade

That's also the nature of the plate. Not all plates are equal.
