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.
Most guys accidentally kill attraction before they even speak. They assume they need a bigger bank account, a better physique, or smoother lines. They miss the point.
Female desire operates on a specific set of psychological triggers. Break them, and you're invisible. Follow them, and you become magnetic.
I learned this the hard way. Years of freezing up. Getting friend-zoned. Watching other guys walk away with the girl I wanted. Then I discovered a set of 22 simple rules that rewired my entire approach.
I do have other options with girls right now though.Driggs said:I think you should. If she at the very least, if NOTHING else is non flaky, that makes her head and tail better than most of these day old croissants... They are some flaky Shiite.
You know how to prevent that from happening.Crissco said:What i dont want is the coming crashing down if we hypothetically speaking get back together, things are great for a bit, then boom, sh*t hits the fan.
Oh yeah I know that one. I always tell my friends, its easier to just find a new woman they try to fix the old one. Gotta take my own advice here. Since it applys to this too.BeDJ said:You know how to prevent that from happening.
It's not "Hey, I know what went wrong and I know how to fix it!" There is already an imaged burned into her memory about the relationship and you. Every wrongdoing, every mistake, every thing you do will comeback to - the break up. No matter how much of a Don Juan you are now or will be, that image she has about you and relationship is nearly impossible to disengage. Wouldn't it be a lot funner to start on a clean slate than reconstruct from ground zero? The good qualities you found in your Ex WILL be found in another women. You mental and emotional well being is far significant than any woman out there.
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.
+1, especially the part I highlighted. I know this from my own, and others' experiences. if you don't mind being her "*****", then go for it. But she has most certainly talked to other chicks about this, and you will pay, forever.VladPatton said:Don't do it, man. You're going to give her complete power in the relationship. Come to grips with the loss. Your first, basic, initial, primal, natural instinct to end the relationship when you did was correct. No need to second guess it now. That's just my opinion, I hope you do what is ultimately in your best interest. Good luck and keep us posted.
