Thanks again for the much need kick up the posterior!

Funny story, started giving her a discreet cold shoulder in the office since Tue. She seems a bit attention starved on Wed and Thu! I previously said I like her perfume, and then low and behold the corridor between our offices on Thur afternoon was filled with her perfume!

I always offer to lend a hand to her section when they're up against it, but they never actually need me. Then all of a sudden on Thu I got a call from her looking for a hand (never before)! I of course gave her a dig out, but no cutsie carry-on, which she seemed a little disappointed with. Then last night a late night 'thanks for your help, etc' text. I just sent a delayed reply saying 'no probs'.

I also used to drink my coffee out of a mug she got me a while ago. I switched mugs and it was the first thing she noticed!

Best of all, I've a date lined up on Sat with a girl I met on Tinder this week.

Glad to hear it. Move on with your life and leave the attention seeker to sulk. Enjoy your date!

I told you she'd come chasing once you starved her of the attention, but it's not you she wants it's the validation you give her so don't get sucked back in.
Funny she got you a mug as that's exactly what she was treating you as.

Good luck on the date.

Well, to be fair, I haven't moved on...it's been three days lads! But I have moved forward.

And thats understandable, we can't switch these things off and on. But I do think its better to nip those sorts of behaviour in the bud now rather than later.

Ah feck it OP, nothing wrong with getting a little bit of enjoyment out of the situation for a while!

It might not be the most mature thing, but so what? She's after stringing you along for long enough, you deserve to get a bit of sport out of watching her watch you slip from her grip! Just so long as you're not doing it in the hope that she'll suddenly want to be your gf. You're right, it's only been a few days. In time you won't care, and you won't tell her things just to see her reaction. Enjoy the date. Try not to talk about your latest doomed romance
