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.
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.

Obviously a rejection

I know the best response to a rejection is no response but I was bored. Do you think I said the right things though? What could I have done better?
LOL. which is why you are where you are. It's not a matter of right or wrong. its a matter of whats important. Myspace is a numbers game. if someone is freaking out over a friend request...then fock em! move on. their loss. I'm not gonna have a debate or conversation about it. I'm gonna keep looking for women who will choose me. I don't want to debate my way into getting on her friend list..who the fock is she? She ain't shyt! That's too much time and effort that could be spent doing something else than worrying about someone who is tripping over some little crap like that.Wolf said:Why's it wrong Warrior? He sent a friend request and she freaked out! Sure she might not screw him but I would've said the same!
Dude I think you are overreacting. I doubt he had oneitis over a girl that he sent a friend request too. His ****y/funny attitude towards her reaction was the way to go in my opinion. I would of said something along the lines of "Yea well the reason I sent you a friend request is because I want to know if I can come to the wedding."Warrior74 said:you know the right thing to do and you refuse to do it. This is why you fail.
your fragile little ego has to get in a parting shot. Be honest man. You gotta be honest with yourself first and formost. YOu know what you could have done better, you could have left it alone and moved on. The fact that you are still thinking about it enough to post it on sosauve shows that it bruised your ego. I got friends like you, yall know what to do but make all sorts of EXCUSES to do it.
Stop making excuses for your bad behavior and just correct it. "I was bored" bytch please! You wasn't bored...you were butthurt. If you were bored you coulda been messaging 20 more girls on myspace, but you are fixated on this one. YOu could have deleted her message and moved on...but you didn't.
Just like women, you judge a man by his actions and not by his words. And your words and actions don't match up playboy. Look inside and fix what made you even come to this particularly sad episode. Good luck.
When a woman says it, guys hear a confession. A heads-up. A scheduling conflict.
Here's the translation: I don't feel anything. Right now. With you.
Watch what happens when a man triggers actual attraction. The busy career, the recent breakup, the "not in a place to date" — all of it evaporates instantly. The same woman who was guarding her freedom is suddenly free every night.
The "22 Rules" explain why. When the right switches flip, her timeline rearranges itself around you.
You ever think maybe he just doesn't care?Warrior74 said:This from a guy who calls himself guywhoneedshelp. I'm giving you some help. The point is to look at his own mentality. Nobody said anything about oneitis. I don't know how you pulled that out your ass. You guys take real talk as overracting. Instead of looking at the entire situation critically and asking questions critically.. you questions such as....
if you know what to do, why aren't you doing it? If you know the best thing to do is to move on, why are you still trying?
if its some random girl, why are you posting about it?
If it doesn't matter then why bring it up? what, do u just want attention?
why are you making excuses for what you are doing? what does that say about the type of man you are?
these are critical questions, that when you ask them on this forum people tell you to calm down or you are overreacting. But if a person wants help..they should be asking these critical questions...this isn't about one myspace post, this is about your mindset and worldview. AFCs and alot of my loser friends who aren't good with women do this whole "experiment" type crap as a way of being passive agressive, or trying to dissaciate themselves from their actions that they know are wrong but continue to do anyway. when you call them out on their BS they go with ..oh i was bored, or oh I didn't care anyway. And you know they really did. because why else would they be prattling on about it?
to the OP don't run now. Don't ask for it to be locked. use this opportunity to look at why you did the things you did and why you even bothered to post this.
this is the essence of becoming a dj. understanding yourself and your motivations for real. not hiding behind excuses.
Not wasting your time with a response.dadmonson said:I know the best response to a rejection is no response but I was bored. Do you think I said the right things though? What could I have done better?
There you have it. I find it kind of intriguing that she responded to you instead of just blocking you but just leave it be dadmonson. #41 said it all.#41 said:Not wasting your time with a response.
Myspace, Facebook, Craigslist -- whatever, they're all a numbers game. You'll run into 10, 20, 30 women like this for every one that is receptive to the game you're running. When you do meet one like this, the best thing to do is just move on.

I could talk to any woman I wasn't attracted to. Charming, funny, relaxed. Then a gorgeous woman looked my way and I'd become a sweating, babbling mess.
The fix took me years to find and ten minutes to learn. Nervousness and excitement are the same physical state — pounding heart, adrenaline, flushed face. Your brain just picks the label. And you can pick a better one.
Rule 16 shows you how. You feel the nerves, relabel them as excitement, and let that energy pour out as enthusiasm. Women notice the guy radiating it. They always do.
You can skip the expensive cars, the fancy clothes, and the endless gym selfies. Completely unnecessary.
I used to freeze the second a beautiful woman looked my way. Frustrated. Awkward. Watching other guys walk away with the girl while I stood there tongue-tied.
Then I discovered 22 simple rules that rewired my entire dating life. The anxiety vanished. Conversations flowed effortlessly. Women started chasing me for a change.
These rules trigger a woman's subconscious attraction switches. And you can start using them tonight.
So what...Jaggs said:That chicks opinion of you is even more lowered now.
So says the guy with a 1000+ posts and counting. Whatever man.Michele said:You know what I find funny... and you can easily tell who the online "geeks" are and who aren't?
The online "geek" responds to people by quoting and breaking down what the other people/person say, then responds, with some bitter or "sarcastic" tone.
The people who aren't "geeks", just respond like they would in a real life situation.
-----
First, don't respond to regular non-online type of people with those quotations like that... they'll think you're bitter and/or have too much time to analyze what they just said.
Second, you try too hard, and you're easy to see through.
So says the guy that's been here since 2004. Who has no game. Who cannot interact over the internet to a female. Where you have plenty of time to think of a decent reply. Who has no game, is too eager, is too desperate to even come up with a decent reply.dadmonson said:So says the guy with a 1000+ posts and counting. Whatever man.

Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.
You've been "getting ready" for two years.
She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.
Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.
