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.
Dinner ran three hours. She laughed at everything. You walked her to her car thinking this one's locked in.
Then: nothing. Two texts. No reply. What happened?
You did what most men do on a great date. You filled every silence, answered every question, and left her with nothing to wonder about. No mystery. Nothing to sit with when she got home.
Rule 3 of the "22 Rules" changes the ending: tell her a little, hold back the rest, and let her imagination do the chasing. The ghosting stops too.
/> I agree. My ex behaved in the exact same manner. Don't waste your time. Focus on getting better and or go for someone else.No.Danny said:Attention *****. Stringing along

No you're not. You're only left to wonder if you're a chump or completely new to dating.Raymond said:So basically you're left to wonder yes or no.
What do you supposed it means?
There's no further action necessary........on to the next chick.What will be your actions?
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.
She is using you for validation. Each time she thinks you are about to walk away she will flirt a little to get you hooked again. The cycle continues until she gets bored of you or you figure out what is going on.A girl who doesn't reject or say yes.
Anything other than an enthusiastic "yes" is a rejection.Raymond said:So basically you're left to wonder yes or no.
What do you supposed it means? What will be your actions?
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.
I would really argue that. Most girls can play the game and pretend they are not interested. ESPECIALLY at the beginning.Redwood said:Ambiguous answers are definitely a no. Trust me, if a girl wants to meet you, she'll claw and scratch her way through ANYTHING.
Lotus Effect said:It is all great advice, and it is all truth! Bokanovsky, nismo, Redwood, PairPlus, Igetit!... Even hudpes and No.Danny. All correct!
But the real truth is how does this affect you??
If it was from a girl you've never met, it wouldn't matter at all I suppose.
So all of this, is because this particular girl's opinion, matter to you, which shouldn't.
You should get to a point that this means nothing to you. Paradoxically, and ironically, when you get to that point (of not giving a sh*t) is when you'll get less of this behaviour!
EDIT: Really great stuff on your signature Igetit!
