Dear Breakup Girl,

My ex and I broke up because he could not handle my past. He still want to be friends because he can't find a girlfriend or any other females that like to the same things I do (dirt bike racing, hunting, fishing, sailing, scuba diving, dancing, club hopping etc.). I told him any woman that likes to do all this will have a past or she will be pretty boring.

I still care about and like to do these things with him, but when he starts to talk about the new woman in his life and he knows he can never tell them about me it really hurts. He says there is no way we will ever get back as lovers, but he still calls me every day even when I am out of town. Should I just tell him to leave me alone or what?

-- Karen

Dear Karen,

Couldn't handle your past?! I just think he couldn't keep up! Damn, girl. You're not just a date, you're an adventure.

Now. Sometime between hobbies, check out what BG has to say about "double standards" and the people who impose them. You're clearly a babe and a half; you do not need an Activity Partner who can appreciate all the things you do, but not all the things you did. Just ask him to stop practicing his extreme calling with your phone, and rest assured that you'll find someone who sees you as the exciting dream girl/vacation you really are.

Oh, don't worry; "rest assured" is figure of speech. You don't have to, like, RESTrest.

Love,

Breakup Girl
