Wanting someone so bad who discarded you like that is a sign of low self worth.
Someone with high self worth would be turned off by someone who does not feel that mutual attraction.

The reason...

So now you're passive-aggressive instead of angry?
Do you feel different about your anger/conflict resolution issues than you did when you broke up?

You initiating contact to reconcile = less...

Dating someone for the person you think they can become, not the person they are.

Prioritizing your partner over yourself.

Not saying he has no right to feel hurt - people have the right to feel whatever they want - but shaming/being manipulative about it is pointless. Don't try to "teach them a lesson," just move on and...

If you were straight up with her it's her fault for thinking anything would change in time.

A year is a long time to be casual for though.

Often - sometimes they'll do it to try and control the pace at which I'm thrusting.

Butthole stuff - women gotta ease you into that IMO. Never done it myself.

How old are you OP?

Shaming her for things she did when you were not together is toxic AF. Either accept it or move on.
To be honest it's none of your business and the fact you're asking and...

Not necessarily a "gold digger" but at least some combination of being oblivious to the fact she's a dependent/having different expectations than you.

If she came from "nothing" her life...

Can you see yourself marrying her?

Just know having sex won't necessarily solve your problem if sex is not important to her and/or she doesn't know what she wants in that aspect.
Long road ahead...

Grab a coffee and go for a walk. Take initiative and ask her out.

Finding the right style/hair/facial hair can also help.

Audio of How to be a 3% Man.

I also listened to No More Mr.Nice Guy but felt it wasn't as relevant because i couldn't relate to the traumatic experiences.

Both valid points.

Where are you mentally in the relationship?
Do you honestly think she's the one you're gonna spend the rest of your life with?

If no or "not sure" then stop forcing the...

Could've still been good/enjoyable for him.
Likely not the best ever for him given his state of mind.

In theory it could I just mean there are also less players out there looking to take cheap shots too.

Because you may transmit the virus even if you're immune to it or because the vaccine may not be as effective as we're hoping, especially to new variants?

How to be a 3% Man.

I was already pretty socially confident and "have my chit together" so to speak but that helped me understand the dating game a bit better.

Garland's becoming a great story. Not drafted in his draft-eligible year. Slowly made his way up through the minors to essentially a first line forward this season. I thought with fighting/enforcers...

^^This + not giving the ring back makes me think you made the right call.

You should feel zero guilt, especially considering she decided she was entitled to the 8k ring.

Live and learn OP....

I don't see it being weird she went to your house during date #2, or even making out on your couch, without the intent of going further.

Agreeing to go to the bedroom then pulling back is strange...
