It took me 8,903 days to break my #1 rule.This rule has successfully kept me away from trouble and drama for many years now. Now I'm willing to make an exception. For the first time, in my 24 years in this planet, I'm in the process of getting back with an ex.

After 3 years of one night stands and working on personal goals I realized I had a oneitis. It has been 3 years since we last dated and we were still really good friends. We pretty much saw each other at least once a week. The reason for our break up was unfortunate. Life had thrown me lemons and I, instead living up to my motto "Make a story out of it" and making lemonade, took the passenger seat in life and fucked myself over.

Lets fast forward to the present. My life is better than ever and she recently broke up with her bf because he was a retarded Douchebag. Long story short, among several things he decided to go to a club with friends instead of being there for her when she needed it. I was..

[Seriously guys.. this stuff is common sense. It's OK, once in a while, to show some emotion and be there for someone when they most need it. Its not about being friend-zoned. Its about caring about your REAL FRIENDS. It doesn't matter if you get laid or not.]

Anyways. A couple of days ago, with my balls up to my neck and nervous as hell, I decided to ask her out on a date.

It took her a week to tell me no. She was not sure it would be a good idea for us to get back together. I was OK with it. We just had to go back to being friends.

Last night, after a long day at work, she told me to come over to smoke hookah and watch TV. The usual.

After an hour and a half session of Mythbusters on Netflix we decided to play a Pulp Fiction because I've never seen it. We were laying in the couch in an offset spooning position. I was a about a foot down from where she was and her ass was next to my face.

Half way through the movie something clicked in my head. I knew that I had to work for what I wanted and that if I didn't take action NOW I could regret it later. I felt my heart change rhythm. Breathing changed. I turned Super Seyan 4. My level was way over 9000. I was in the elusive "zone". I was pretty much seeing my self in third person and suddenly knew exactly what I had to do. I told her:

"You know you are being really fucking mean to me right now.."

"Why?"

"You know why.. You know I have a thing about skirts and every time we see each other you are wearing one.. and you've had your ass right next to my face the entire night."

"Oh.. you think I'm wearing it for you?"

"I don't think.. I know."

I noticed she got a little nervous and she immediately stood up and went to the other couch. I followed and sat right next to her. I told her:

"Hey", I looked deeply into her eyes and took a deep breath. Then, in a very calm manner and without breaking eye contact I said "I know you said no.. and I'm also not sure if this is the right thing to do..

but I still.. WANT.. you" and without hesitation I put my hand on her neck, moved her face towards me and closed in until our faces were about an inch apart. For what felt like an eternity I held my position. I had to let her make the final decision. And she finally did.

Unfortunately there was no f-close because it was "that time of the month" but we did make out and cuddled the entire night. I’m currently awaiting her call to see if she wants to change her mind.

TL;DR: I decided to man the fuck up and am in the process of getting ex back.
