The only person you can change in a relationship is you. If you can only see yourself with someone if they change then you should just move along until you find someone you can accept at face value.
Hey guys & girls
So it came up on my calender this morning that it's my ex gf's birthday today. (the one I could never seem to get over). I don't have her on my facebook (anymore). So do you guys think I should give her a call? It didn't end well... she's sort of not very attentive and standoffish type personality and I needed someone who's a bit more loving & giving. I'm always the one calling her but she is a good person and is caring despite the cold exterior. I also think I could do better but haven't been able to find the time.
Anyway, do you guys & girls think I should call to say Happy Birthday?
Why make any contact with her? It didn't end well, she hurt you, and guess what? Hard truth here, she doesn't like or want you back. If she did, she would've done something about it. Now OL, you're a needy guy. That's ok, not saying it's bad, but you have to realize it. You are needy. So you've got this girl, you dated her, she's not attentive, doesn't make you feel special, which is all fine, but those aren't the qualities that you want or need. The only thing going down this route would do is create more hurt from you. There's absolutely no point to contacting her. None.
Delete her number. Delete her birthday. Delete her from your life. Decide if you really wanna be single or. It. You know what your post says? It says, "I really want to have a relationship with somebody. Anybody." And that's ok, but you have to admit that to yourself. And if that's what you want, then go make it happen. And realize that the perfect woman doesn't exist. My wife does things that drive me nuts. I live with them because I love her. She's worth it. But you have to realize you're not going to find anybody that is perfect for you. Now I think this is the 5th or so time I've posted something similar to you. I like you OL, but I cannot stand people who constantly ask for advice, and then just ignore it and do what they want. Ok? You've heard all this stuff before. You know what to do. Just do it now.

I think having the mindset in life that you can do better is going to set you up for failure.
You might be able to do better, but so can literally everyone else. There is always going to be someone or something that could be for you, better than you, better at life, whatever. You just have to be happy with your level of commitment and work in the relationship or in life, or change what you can control.
I think you should call her up. Birthdays are only once a year. Sounds like you are quite attracted to her.
