style="font-family: Verdana;">Get
An Ex Girlfriend Back style="font-family: Verdana;">Battle style="font-family: Verdana;">
Plan

style="font-family: Verdana;">John
wanted to get his ex girlfriend back. John was a pretty street-smart
sort of
guy although he looked like a geek and knew that he had to make a
battle plan
to get an ex girlfriend back.

style="font-family: Verdana;">John’s
ex, was a cute little number called Mary, (don’t you just
love these ‘John and
Mary’ stories), and Mary gave him the bum’s rush
because she had met someone
else, in this case a poet.

style="font-family: Verdana;"> 

style="font-family: Verdana;">Personally
I’d consider myself to have had a lucky escape, but not our
John.

style="font-family: Verdana;">He
was going to pull out all stops to get this situation reversed, and as
quickly
as possible.

style="font-family: Verdana;">John
knew that Mary had an artistic streak but really didn’t think
she would be
truly happy with someone whose idea of a good time was rhyming couplets
about
daffodils and clouds.

style="font-family: Verdana;"> 

style="font-family: Verdana;">He
knew it would take more than that – and he also knew he had
what it took!

style="font-family: Verdana;">So,
John set out his “Battle Plan To Get
An
Ex-Girlfriend Back”.

style="font-family: Verdana;"> 

style="font-family: Verdana;">This
was to be a three-pronged attack plan.

style="font-family: Verdana;">The
first thing he did was to start looking like he belonged in the real
world, not
the army. He let his hair grow a bit and had a shortish, but stylish,
haircut.

style="font-family: Verdana;">Reading style="font-family: Verdana;"> was the next part of his
plan, so, he started
reading some of the books Mary had mentioned in the past. He figured
that to
get an ex girlfriend back, he had to be the kind of boyfriend she could
talk to
– or at, as the case may
be.

style="font-family: Verdana;">The
next prong of this devious attack plan was to show her that he was the
kind of
guy that other women wanted.

style="font-family: Verdana;">So,
he called up Susie, a friend of Mary’s, and asked her if she
wanted to go on a
casual dinner date.

style="font-family: Verdana;">Now,
poor Susie was no oil painting but she was definitely spot on for this
mother
of all plans.

style="font-family: Verdana;">When
she said yes - as John knew she would as she was known to be pretty
handy on
the tooth and Susie turning down a free meal was as likely as George
Dubya
making the pilgrimage to style="font-family: Verdana;">Mecca style="font-family: Verdana;">
- John buzzed of a quick text to Mary and asked where Susie might like
to go on
a date.

style="font-family: Verdana;"> 

style="font-family: Verdana;">Now,
dear lovelorn reader, The Plot Thickens…

style="font-family: Verdana;">Mary
called John so quickly the sparks flew from the telephone wires, and
demanded
to know why he was taking Susie out.

style="font-family: Verdana;">John
told her that seeing as she’d given him the elbow for a
budding Lord Byron,
he’d decided to move on. He’d always been friends
with Susie and thought he’d
just give it a whirl and see what happens.

style="font-family: Verdana;"> 

style="font-family: Verdana;">If
Mary had any objections, maybe she should recall that it was style="">her that put him out with the cat and
maybe reconsider the move. 

style="font-family: Verdana;"> 

style="font-family: Verdana;">Mary
slammed down the phone in her customary genteel fashion, which John
expected.

style="font-family: Verdana;"> 

style="font-family: Verdana;">John
grinned…..

style="font-family: Verdana;"> 

style="font-family: Verdana;">He
had successfully planted the idea that he was the kind of guy who could
easily
pick and choose. This was a vital part of his get an ex girlfriend back
strategy.

style="font-family: Verdana;">The
third prong of his attack was to use the date with Susie to get
information
back to Mary. This, he knew, would be no problem. He just had to go
about it
the right way.

style="font-family: Verdana;">John
was the perfect gentleman on his date with Susie.

style="font-family: Verdana;"> 

style="font-family: Verdana;">He
brought her a single rose from the poor gypsy (unemployed merchant
banker) who
came to their table in the nice restaurant he had allowed her to choose.

style="font-family: Verdana;"> 

style="font-family: Verdana;">During
the meal he told her about all the good books he had read, lately.

style="font-family: Verdana;"> 

style="font-family: Verdana;">Then,
when he dropped her off, he gave her a hug and a kiss on the cheek but
didn’t
go any further.

style="font-family: Verdana;"> 

style="font-family: Verdana;">The
next day, he sent her flowers at her work with a card that said
“I had a really
great time. I hope you did too.”

style="font-family: Verdana;">Susie,
of course, was on the phone to Mary quicker than she could say
“Where’s the
menu”! She wanted to know why Mary had broken off a
relationship with such a
great guy.

style="font-family: Verdana;"> 

style="font-family: Verdana;">Meanwhile,
the relationship with the Poet had gone from bed to verse, and Mary was
missing
John a lot. 

style="font-family: Verdana;"> 

style="font-family: Verdana;">Mary
called John a couple of days after his date with Susie and wanted to
know if
the two of them could try starting up their relationship again.

style="font-family: Verdana;"> 

style="">That,
my friends, is how to get an ex
girlfriend back.
