"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"

You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.

Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.

Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.

Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.

Pretty much every girl I've dated became clingy once they started liking me. They want to text or call every day and those things are counterproductive to the relationship because familiarity breeds contempt and lowers attraction when you become too available.
 

"She's Out of Your League"

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.

I personally take it as an covert compliment when I get that kind of attention from a woman. You’re right though it is counterproductive if you’re too available with your reply’s. If she’s stage 5 over the top with it, she nexting herself.

I've always thought that guys tend to over-do the scarcity routine. If you have options (like women do), then you need to screen those options, and you can't do that by ignoring them. If I have the time, I'll text with a girl as much as I want to, with the objective of potentially disqualifying her, instead of worrying about the other way around.

YES.

They usually want to call/text several times a day. When you go too long without responding they freak out.

Whenever I experience this I just prepare myself for the inevitable decline of the relationship because I know that situation is not sustainable and eventually things will degrade into drama or loss of interest or some other lame situation.

I would say.. once girls get clingy with you, that's the best time to start meeting new plates. You know. Just in case lol.

I'm soo scarce, I'm invisible.:cool:

They don't want to let you out of their sight, for fear of the competition. It's a sign of insecurity.

A man needs his space. Some, more than others.

It would be nice to meet a girl who can maintain a healthy sense of self and distance.
Marriage material there!

Most people have boundary issues. It's how we were brought up by our parents. Mine were always in my face, and on my case.

Right behind you
The solution is pretty simple. Just tell them that you need a little more space. Like "Hey listen, I like you and all, but I need some space. I appreciate that you care about me so much, but I just a little more time for myself", or something like that.

I personally find it pleasing when they're gushing for me like 'oh stawp it youuu' kind haha. Plus maybe I'm a bit lazy and don't want to put as much effort into the relationship, so she kinda does that for me.

Poor girls may interpret this as a breakup!:(

Remember... with chickies, the feeling thing, trumps logic and reason.

You cannot meet a girl like that, but you can train a girl to be like that easily. You both will talk more and more up to the point of sex and then a natural cool off happens. If she wants to override that cool off period, you try and rewire her brain if you like her.

My current girlfriend told me the magic words she was OK with me going out with my buddies shes not one to have to know were I'm at 24/7 or if I don't text back as soon as she texts me she is going to freak out.. yes she knows sometimes I'm working so I can't respond right away.
 

"Why Women Dump the Guys Who Try the Hardest"

You paid for dinner. You drove. You said "whatever you want is fine" every single time. All the effort, no expectations.

And she left anyway — probably for a guy who makes her pick up the pizza.

Painful. Also predictable. Her mind quietly concludes that anything requiring zero effort from her is worth exactly zero. You became a free sample, and free samples get taken for granted.

The 22 Rules flip the dynamic. Small shifts that get her investing effort, money, and time in you — until SHE'S the one afraid of losing YOU.

First time she did that in 7months.

You want a girl who can be clingy but with a brain (hence not emotionally desperate)

I don't know about that. I know lots and lots guys who, when they meet nice good looking educated young single girls with little baggage and no kids, throw the kitchen sink at them to try and get them to commit because they want a wife and start a family.

And if you like them and don't throw the kitchen sink at them, you will regret you didn't do everything in your power to get them.

It's weird. Sosuave members go from "she's desperately in love with me after 2 dates, I need my space." to

"she has responded to my text, what do I do, what do I do, what do I do? in 45 seconds.

Find out what your aim is, your goal is, and go from there.

Familiarity only breeds contempt, when given a reason to lose respect.
 

"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"

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.
