I was with you until the "you would too" part, at which point your post became absolutely worthless without... you guessed it...

:camera:'s

I took a fantastic photo of her this weekend. I'll be asking her if she doesn't mind me throwing it to the wolves...

The best way to handle it?
Say "Bye sweetheart, I love you." then never look back.
Go party. Move on like it never shook you a bit. If you bump into her along the way, say "Hi" and keep on going. If she keeps coming, ignore her, but be polite.
It might be two months, but she'll be back.
At that point, make excuses why you can't get together right away. Let her continue to chase.
At this point it's decision time.
Still love her? Hop back in. The score is even now. Let her know that there will be no more "fvckaround" in the relationship and that you hope she disappreciated being dicked around as much as you did.
Can't figure out what the hell you were doing with her in the first place?
Move on and tell her "I need my space".
It's a win/win plan.

2.5 weeks? She's not your girlfriend, she's a girl you're dating. She basically found someone else. Get over it.

At 2.5 weeks, if you are trying to assign the titles of boyfriend and girl friend.. it's way too early. Just friends with touching rules (or lack there of). There isn't any magic time frame for boyfriend/girlfriend to finally be assigned but it basically boils down to your free time = her free time and vice versa and you both like it. At that point, THEN you got a relationship. Hanging out with someone for a couple of weeks doesn't mean anything even if you guys have hands all over each other.

2-1/2 weeks is way too short a time to be feeling really bad about not seeing some girl. She liked you at first but then decided she didn't like you that much to make a relationship out of it. Move on to the next one.

I'm all out of beer, but I'll have a vodka & coke in your honor after I pick up my car.

I'm sorry, but I gotta ask. Did you do anything sexual with her?

I'll drink 48 within the next week just for you... this has nothing to do wth the fact that I'm going to Wisconsin to party with friends... in fact, I'll party in your honor.

IMO congrats. If the girl's going to dump you after less than three weeks why would you want to be with her anyway?

If you really care about getting her back, the best advice I can give is to not hang out, not initiate contact, and to just avoid her as much as possible. If you stay "just friends" you will become an emotional dumpster, pretty much the equivalent of a female friend to this girl. Your manhood will become a nonfactor ;)

If she really sees something in you that she wants and you cut off contact, she'll have to try and get you back, perhaps she will be able to commit. HDTVman is right

My wife did that to me when we were dating. We had been seeing each other for about 3 months or so and then one night when I was staying with her at her Dad's house (he was out of town) she dumps me as we were walking on the beach. I was stunned. So, we get back to her Dad's house and I start packing to leave and she says she wants me to stay. Then the next day I'm at work and she calls me up to go to lunch with her. I was like WTF!!! You just broke up with last night! What the hell is going on? Anyway, we've been married for 12 years now.
