Howdy gents,

I'm married (12 years) w/ 2 kids. I recently swallowed the red pill.

My marriage is in pretty good shape, but it's about to get a whole lot better.

Am making my way through the sidebar (have read WISNIFG and NMMNG, reading MMSLP now)

Have been absolutely reveling in the power of STFU lately, it's a beautiful thing! And not only with my wife but using it with everyone has been amazing.

Anyway, on to my question:

I recently got a FB messenger note from an old crush. She heard about some success I had in the business world and decided to reach out and say hello (AWALT).

I never dated her but had a mad crush on her for a few years. Tried to date her but she never really gave me the time of day once I revealed my feelings to her.

I'm not interested in dating/plating her now but I am curious about 2 things

1 - Responding to her in a flirty way that turns the tables on her (after all these years) 2 - Using her to up my dread game with the wife...(do I just leave the message up on my phone and try and get the wife to see it?)

Any thoughts on how to respond to her message? She asked about my business and some of my other creative pursuits.. She also mentioned my family (hoped they we doing well), is she just testing the waters?

One other thing to note is that she reaches out to me from time to time...for various reasons, I'm not exactly sure why...but every few years she does. Is it because I was an orbiter and she just wants a little hit of external validation?

Is the ultimate RP response to just not respond?

Any thoughts would be appreciated.
