You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.
Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.
She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.
Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.
Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.
She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.
Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.
So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.
The words come later. The impression comes first.
She initiated it with the odd late night phone call, the day after she said that we should catch up for a drink. I sent her a msg, today and all it said was, drinks this week? She sent back a big msg saying that she's busy this week but how about next Monday???Did she initiate the re-connect?
If so, this is what I call "spinning plates." She seems to be doing the spinning, though.
Which, in my opinion, is fine.
Key in my mind is to go ghost. I would just say, "Sure Hon sounds good. Text/call me when you want to catch up and I'll let you know if I'm available that day. Have a great day!"
Did just read the 30 rules haha.Oneitis creeping into the mindset...
Strongly suggest you read 3 rules below.
Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."
You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.
She's been waiting forty minutes.
Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.
Yeah, the problem is OP met this girl on....... Tinder.No it doesn't, she dumped him because she didn't want to fvck him. That changes my explanation from he didn't escalate to she got bored which makes perfect sense because she is on tinder. He also didn't say how many times after the first time they had sex. She probably got the vibe that he was looking to be her boyfriend, while she wanted to keep using tinder, which would have turned her off sex with him.
Bored + turned off. "Not ready to let him in" my @ss, haha
Sure, but aren't the odds greater that the girl on Tinder is going to be a screwball compared to the woman you meet out and about?In my opinion Tinder (or any other other online dating site) has nothing whatsoever to do with it. I always try to focus the blame on ME. Far better for me to focus on what I could have done better.
It's more than likely, that the single girl you meet out, is a screwball on tinder...Sure, but aren't the odds greater that the girl on Tinder is going to be a screwball compared to the woman you meet out and about?
I hereby then challenge you to delete that App!It's more than likely, that the single girl you meet out, is a screwball on tinder...
She calls you when her car breaks down. When she needs help moving. When some guy she's actually dating treats her badly.
You're the listener. The reliable one. The guy who would treat her so much better, if she'd just open her eyes.
She won't. You trained her to see you as the low-effort option — the friend who requires zero risk and zero investment. Every favor dug the hole deeper.
The "22 Rules" break the pattern. You'll stop auditioning for a role she already cast and become the man she chases instead. It starts with Rule 1.
I do have a couple of options at the moment but nothing really solid. The sex was great with her and we got along really well.It's always a little shocking the first few times this happens to you. But don't worry OP, after about 10-15 times you will get used to it.
Pretty soon, when it doesn't happen is when you will get surprised. Welcome back to the world of dating!
Btw, why are you wasting your time diving back into pools that have already been p*ssed in, don't you have any other options? If not prepare to be used and discarded once again![]()
