"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.

Long story short, there's this chick that i've known for about two months. Things were great for a while, lots of intrest, great chemistry, she did most of the calling, texting, etc. I had two or three good chances to make a move, but flopped on them on, and i take full responsibility for that (up until this girl, i've never had to make a move, all the others i've been with initiated so i was a bit shakey).

However, in spite of that, there's still some shred of interest on her part. and for the past three times we were suppose to hang out she's been too "busy," the most recent being monday morning when called an hour beforehand to cancel, and i cut her number out of my phone. She offered to move to friday, but this would be the second time that she's suggested a different day and still flaked.

i have no illusions that my chance has come and gone, and based on her actions, I know that this latest offer will no doubt result in another "reschedule" of some sort.

That being said, i wanted some input the best way to let this situtation diffuse itself. with her number gone, i can't reach her, and i figure if there's any remote intrest she'll contact me before or on the day, and if she does great, if not, i've got two dates lined up for later this week and life goes on.

Sound like the right way to handle this situation?
 

"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"

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.

I think you're being a little harsh. You guys are really only buddies, honestly. If you haven't shown any interest in her over TWO MONTHS, she's going to assume you only want to be friends and will treat you as such.

So she's not going to prioritize you in her life. You can't fault her for that, you'd do the same thing.

I'm not saying you have to still hang out with her... but cutting her off your phone is a little much, and smacks of sour grapes.

That's exactly how I'd a' handled it.. I do that all the time. Delete the # and move on. :up: Deleting the # brings closure for me.. That's just me...

I'm pretty much in the same boat. On top of that, I've got a bad case of oneitis. It's really not much fun. This one just got over a bad breakup. It was me who asked if she wanted space. Now, I'm practically sitting here, looking at my watch...all afc-like.

last straw

Well, come this morning when she was suppose to hang out, she cancels on me an hour before hand. I hadn't spoken to her since the last message i got a few days ago when i posted, and frankly, this cancel came as no suprise. Some part of me wants to call her out on her bs because a week ago she was adament on hanging out, and promised that should we fit me into her schedule. However, i figure its best to just walk away and not turn this into some "thanks for nothing, have a good life" mess. I have another girl i know is interested coming over next wednesday, but no matter my progress with women, im still amazed at how fast interest can plummet.



I know this is the only proper course of action to take, anyone else feel I should do different?
 

"I'm Not Looking for Anything Serious Right Now"

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.
