Lecture Notes: Reject Your Ex Properly

Introduction

  • Speaker: Coach Black, internet, relationship, and breakup coach.
  • Topic: How to reject your ex properly to make them obsess about you.

Key Concepts

Attraction vs. Love

  • Attraction must come before love:
    • Your ex left because their attraction was low.
    • They thought they could find better opportunities outside the relationship.
  • Re-establish your value:
    • Engage their emotions before returning to love.

Zahavian Signaling Theory

  • Overview: A signal is honest if it is costly.
  • Example in Nature:
    • Male peacock's tail is costly but attracts mates.
    • Vulnerability to predators shows other survival qualities.

Applying Zahavian Signaling to Relationships

  • No Contact:
    • Communicates high self-worth and attractiveness.
    • Shows you won’t beg for scraps or act desperate.
  • Human Pattern Recognition:
    • Exes form patterns and assumptions about us.
    • No contact breaks old unattractive patterns.

Rejection Breeds Obsession

  • Avoid chasing:
    • Only high-quality people do not chase.
    • Confirm your worth through actions, not desperation.
  • Ignore breadcrumbs:
    • Small gestures from exes are tests.
    • Ignoring them sends a strong signal of self-worth.

Escalation

  • Ex’s response to rejection:
    • May increase attempts to contact (e.g., late-night texts).
    • Show restraint and lack of desperation.

Common Mistakes

  • Avoid giving too much too soon:
    • Do not instantly rekindle the relationship.
    • Overcome fear of losing them.
  • Be Indifferent:
    • Show you have options.
    • Indifference is powerful in reversing roles.

Final Strategy

  • Reject in subtle ways:
    • Communicate not afraid of losing them.
  • Evaluate from a powerful position:
    • Retain the driver’s seat in deciding if the relationship is worth pursuing.
