Well ADCtrader brings up a very interesting trading strategy that might win back the princess. It's called creating a vacuum. I guess this can be accomplished by not communicating with the princess, not calling, not writing, not e-mailing no contact whatsoever. Once she's figures out that that you are no longer her "safety net" she's on her own. It can get very nerve racking up there swinging with various partners without that safety net below. Showing her your not interested might in fact bring her to a realization that that her safety net is really what she wants. What may come to your own self realization is that once she's comes back to you, deep in your heart you may feel a lack of trust for the princess. How do you know for sure that she won't repeat this process again? Hitman-----Life is to short it can end when least expected. Finding another women should be a lot easier than learning how to be a successful trader. You have to have the desire and will power to find that other person. So far you don't, your only desire is to figure how to win over the princess and your really doing injustice for yourself and the other princess out there waiting for you.
Hitman I'm going to give you several strategies that you can choose from to enhance your love life with or without the princess: 1 Vacuum strategy---As I stated before this strategy employs excommunication from the princess. By not communicating with her she will come to the conclusion that she has no safety net and will be drawn back to her true love in a natural format 2. Vacuum Power House Strategy--This strategy employs the above but in addition you let her know quite clearly in a warm and pleasant manner of course that the next time she calls or wants to come back to you it must be a serious commitment on her part and that you must have her full love and devotion for the ultimate goal of getting married in the near future. 3. Hedge position---Employing one of the above strategies while at the same time putting an effort into finding someone else. Sort of like what she's doing to you. 4. Naked put option-- This strategy involves you expunging her from your mind and your life and devoting a strong effort in finding another soul mate. You may want to do some networking here. Maybe Don Bright has a daughter or niece you can date. 5. The Hitman's Deluxe safety net strategy--Unfortunately this is the most likely strategy you'll employ. This involves keeping things status quo and letting her know that although your disappointed that she chose someone else, you will always be there in the event that her present or her future relationships fail. Let us know which strategy or combination suits you the best. Maybe Don Bright can help you choose one since he may have the most experience.

Shortee. I threw out my back again after reading your line about fixing hitman w/ Don's niece. You're the best!
When I woke up this morning I had a serious headache, and I had an entire night's worth of nightmares with all kind of unpleasant scenarios (literally everything from holding many thousand shares of a stock through a halt that hits me for many points, to receiving an invitation to her wedding). Then again this isn't the first time I experienced this, nor it will be the last time, so I have regained some energy and as of right now at around 50%, hopefully by Monday morning it will be 90%. Thankfully I am almost as hardcore a workholic as a love sick safety net, so knowing myself I will probably do a decent job on Monday. I am not the type to blame anyone for my pains, I chose the current path afterall, and I will continue to walk it. ***Then last christmas while I was shopping at Toys R Us I see him. The two of us are talking when two young children run up to him and ask "daddy" to buy them something. Later on he told me that he finally had his "model" girl, but including the two children from her previous marriage.*** For me that would be THE HAPPY ENDING, she represents not just the woman I will give up anything to marry, but also the ultimate challenge in life. If I love her 100%, the competitive spirit in me amplifies it into 150%. I envy your friend, he spend 10 years and he ended up getting exactly what he wanted in the first place, he never backed away from that challenge and gave it his 100%. Any child she has in this life time I would love as much as I love her, for they are afterall, part of her flesh. I will obviously have to cut down my exposure to her, it is not my choice but now she is no longer single and I have to respect that. I will keep close touch with her while I continue to give my 100% effort at work, I can not allow myself to collapse, the battle is lost, but the war is not over, even if I have less than 1% chance, I will still fight it to the bitter end. If your friend toughed it out for 10 years, so can I. And no, the guy she is dating is not a punk by no stretch of the imagination, for someone that puts as much effort into it as I do, I hate to admit it but he gave it quite a bit more than I did at least since I started to run this team. He basically called every day and asked her out any day she is free, while I concentrated my effort on work and only asked her out on weekends. The first week of March I had my best trading week in a long time as I spend 4 out of 7 days with her that week, the following 2 weeks he started to take her to school every morning and escort her home every night. Back then when I traded by myself I could leave work any time to go see her, but nowadays I have way too much commitment to those around me and besides for me to achieve career success I can not leave at the middle of the workday all the times like he does to visit her. I mean what hell, six months ago, when he was working in a restaurant in some other state, he would drive to New York in the middle of the week every now and then to visit her. Throwing the fact that I do look younger than her despite being 22, his maturity really shines for her since she is just 20. I don't believe anyone on this planet loves her as much as I do, but he sure makes it seem that way, even more, as for me to match his level of intensity I will have to sacrifice too much of my own career. When I took my current career path I was aiming for her ex, the ivy leaguer, super career oriented, cares more about himself than anyone else, hardly bother to spend time with her. I wanted to not only show her that I loved her a lot more than he did, but to also defeat him in career, something both of us held very highly. When her current bf entered the picture I was devoting myself 100% into my career, and what really puts a bitter taste in my mouth is that I can not deny the fact that he gave it more than I did especially after she finally became single, and this is in something I held above all else. Then again he doesn't have a green card (which effectively locks him out of all top tier careers/jobs in this country) and part of me wants to tell her it could be a gap and trap, but of course she will never believe it because "the guy had many relationships before and if he wanted one he would have got it long ago" . . . Shortee: Your post was the first thing that put a smile on my face since I left her on Friday.
hitman, it's hard to say something and hard not too. After all I don't know you or her. So I won't really give you advice on what to do or not. Do you best, you will learn from it whatever you do and whatever the outcome. It's just like trading. It's striking though that the princess seems to have a pattern of leaving men succeeding, the ivy guy and now you. Things were better when you were a loser, right ? just like this new guy ! Sorry, hitman, but we are all much happier with you being a success in trading. live your own life, don't live it for someone else. Oops.. getting into advice mode.
Ok hitman, Since you want her that bad, i'll fill in the blanks of what my friend did in those 10+ years before he finally landed her. Maybe it will help you. (In the college years he was a one dimensional person with martial arts as his only hobby.) 1) He became a big Anthony Robbins fan. He has the tapes/books. 2) Took art classes at the local museum. 3) Took ballroom dancing at the community college at nights. 4) Took yoga class. 5) Cooking classes. I think he got really good at this one. He told me about some chocolate desserts he would make for her every now and then. So along with his relentless pursuit of her he did a pretty good job of raising his value. If you look at it from her perspective, he became an irresistable catch. Well, there you have it, his recipe for winning the woman of his dreams. Still, I felt that he was happier before landing her.
"I envy your friend, he spend 10 years and he ended up getting exactly what he wanted in the first place, he never backed away from that challenge and gave it his 100%. Any child she has in this life time I would love as much as I love her, for they are afterall, part of her flesh. "---------------Hitman Okay Hitman let me throw a challenging hypothetical question at you. What if the princess has an affair with Don Bright and she gives birth to triplets, all of which look like a carbon copy of Don Bright. He breaks up with her she gets custody rights but allows him to visit every once and a while. She then calls you up and says she wants to devote her life to you. However you get the whole enchilada which not only includes her but Don's Bright's triplets. Would you still marry her knowing dam well you'll be changing Don jr's diapers for next several years.
..but if you want to beat your head against a brick wall, at least do it with style. This book will teach you how to "win." http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0670891924/ref=pd_bxgy_text_2/002-2143672-6483207 But what you win....well, that has been discussed earlier. Do not leave the decision up to the "princess," LEAD her to the correct decision. Passivity will not work here, you must plan and attack.
***1) He became a big Anthony Robbins fan. He has the tapes/books.*** Another Tony but this time around it is no Oz, perhaps I would give it a try. ***2) Took art classes at the local museum.*** Mandatory, although she is into Fashion Design I would be more inclined toward learning something related to that. ***3) Took ballroom dancing at the community college at nights.*** Very important for sure. I absolutely must do this. ***4) Took yoga class.*** I prefer straight up weights and cardio. *****5) Cooking classes. I think he got really good at this one. He told me about some chocolate desserts he would make for her every now and then.***** This I have to do as soon as I get a breather from work. Cooking IMHO is a mandatory skill for a complete husband. Shortee: If it comes down to it, so be it. I saw Don's mug at http://www.stocktrading.com/html/don_bright.html His genes can't be that bad, maybe Don Jrs will make good traders for Worldco someday . . . Highly unlikely scenario of course, but as long as in the end I am with her, I wouldn't mind if she bears devil's child.
