"I just moved here from Florida."

That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?

She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."

She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.

I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.

Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.

There is girl I met she was once a student of mine age difference is like 9 yrs. When I expressed interest she said she liked but didn't know if I felt same so she has a guy now. Unfortunately she didn't like the guy's appeal and broke up. She did tell she dated one guy last semester and broke. Clearly she doesn't keep men. I failed to notice. I didn't want to get serious with because I clearly doubted my feelings. But she got great body so I decided to give it a try. She broke up with her guy and started dating we kinda started things before she did finally break. She wasn't financially good so I helped a little. I gave her my old laptop and helped in some emergencies. Things were great and fun. Until I got law suits shot at my young company I have barely started, my mum is ill and at the same time I had postgraduate project to work so for like three weeks which was her exams I didn't reach out to her to say hi. I was just focused on my troubles. After the exams I came to her and I noticed some changes in her behavior. I ignored them but they became prominent so I got her talking and she said she can't do this anymore she felt used and whether I cared about her. At first I lost my sense because I know what to do was to shrugged it of and hug and some reassurance but I found myself letting her talk about her feelings some past issues. So I gave her a listening ear and she finally said she can't she has things to deal with and that she wants us to be friends. For the friendship I told her NO! so I left and I gave the conversation a thought and finally gave in. But I found myself trying to explain all what I was doing in the past three weeks even though it was not an excuse for reaching out but she still wanted the break up. So today I am lying on bed heart broken and wondering where I did go wrong. Did became beta for caring to much?! Did I lost my game?? Did she meet someone in the past three weeks?? Or She is telling the truth about dealing with her past traumas?? Because to me this thing shouldn't break someone.
Brother men I help understanding myself and this situation.
 

"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"

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.

You were way too invested mentally. You wanted it more than she did. Sounds like you invested in her more than she invested in you. Deals like that never work and the guy is always left confused.

As for her, she didn't know what she wanted. She's got some things going on that she hasn't told you about.

It is what it is. No use crying over spilled milk. There's plenty of milk out there, and it all eventually expires.

Didn’t you here? There is no beta or alpha. Just ask the guys on the forum here
 

"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."

Attraction runs on a clock.

She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.

The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."

One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.

Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.

She monkeybranched from her ex to you (started things with you before ended with her ex) and while you were busy she most likely monkeybranched to the next guy before ending it with you.

She is not dealing with past traumas she is dealing with the nex guy.

Forget alpha and beta..... there are only potential victims and then there are the redpilled.

What you need to understand is, as a man you need to have your feelings for women under control. Dont fall for any woman head over heels after a couple of months, as you clearly dont know with whom you are dealing with.

Also, NEVER show them how important they are to you.
Remember, the one who cares less about the relationship is in charge.

Best wishes for your mother!

She branch swung to you, she branch swung to the next guy when you were busy. Bottom line you tried to Date a crap quality girl. Move on.

You help her out by giving her a computer and other ways you didn't mention So I am going to assume you gave her some money here and there and then she has the nerve to tell you she felt used and you didn't care??? Ask her for your computer back. Tell her you want her to pay you back monies if you lent her money, then you will see who used who.

That is called projection. When a chick tells you she felt used and you don't care after you HELP her what she is actually saying is I just used you and I don't care. Typical chick of today not taking responsibility, and blaming everything on the guy. Even blaming the guy who helped her.

She is self entitled. She is crap quality. She isn't loyal.

i bet it wasn't even 3 weeks and she found the next guy to feed her attention and validation. You just found out after 3 weeks.

Wooow that's cold but what I needed.... I don't want to take it personal for the computer and whatever expenses I did it because I wanted to not to buy her affection. So yeah she can keep them. Write I can't wait to get over this pain and get myself together. But the next woman; I will take time and test her properly.
 

"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"

You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.

For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.

Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.

The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.

Yeah I meant it tongue and cheek to ask for the stuff back, but it was about proving a Point as to who used who.
