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.
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.
How does he even know the kid belongs to the supposed military rapist guy? How many other unanswered questions are there that will eventually drive him crazy?Scormus said:If you were spinning plates you would be able to next this hoe much more easily.
The only way I would even consider staying with her is if she got rid of the kid. No way I am dealing with that kid. If she was raped she should want to abort it.fizzlestyx said:I don't know anyone in her chain of command, so all my information comes from her. Supposedly she reported this as rape at some point, and he is facing court martial for this and other incidents. She says the military ordered a paternity test and that he is definitely the father.
I'm busy with work and school but it wouldn't be impossible to find someone else. I'm not sobbing into her voicemail or anything, and i have few illusions about her maturity or trustworthiness. Given her history i never really did. But like i said we got close and i want to at least talk before i completely move on
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.
No abortion? Then you are gone. Don't you dare even think about being involved with that kid.fizzlestyx said:She was about 5 weeks pregnant when she found out. She said she was on her way to the abortion clinic and couldn't go through with it - she'd done some research and was too freaked out by the progress the embryo had already made. Refer to post title...
Then again, that was before she told me and I let her know I wouldn't be a part of that. It's been a few days and she already spent one night in the hospital, so maybe she changed her mind.
So he should beat the crap out of the guy, so he can get arrested and go to prison for assault, all because of a womans word? Let me know how that turns out for you. You are a white knight.Weezzyy said:Your women says she got raped by another man and you want to be supportive??? Leave that supportive sh1t for her friends, what you should have done was beat the sh1t out of the other guy for doing something like that to the women you love, unless you actually don't care about her and make her move away from you instead of protecting her and her dignity.. I don't understand people anymore..
She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.
Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.
The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.
Have you seen any PROOF of this military paternity test or just what she says? There should be some paperwork that she will be happy to show you.fizzlestyx said:As I said, she claims that the military performed a paternity test which concluded he is the father. I passed judgment before I asked about the timeline of her official report, but after she left I realized that implied a serious investigation. I don't have the actual paperwork but this is more ambiguous than I'd first realized. I didn't ask his name; it wouldn't have meant anything to me after she told me she didn't know where to find him.
I'm certain she wasn't lying about the paternity test. She would have had every reason to make me believe it's mine.
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.
Good!fizzlestyx said:Right now she won't even talk to me, much less come over and show me a stack of paperwork.
Why would you even want to date a military chic? They turn me off more than fat lesbians. They are men with a p/ssy, not feminine at all. I wish the OP would just wash his hands of this chic, but he is a slave to her p/ssy.PairPlusRoyalFlush said:Dont trust women in the military.
