"You Can't Argue a Woman Into Liking You"

You made your case like a lawyer. Stable job. Good guy. Ready for something real. All true. All irrelevant.

She weighed your points, nodded along, felt nothing — then fell hard for some tattooed bartender with a motorcycle and a gambling problem.

Logic is where attraction goes to die. The "22 Rules" work a level deeper, on the subconscious switches that decide within minutes whether you register as a MAN or as part of the furniture.

Stop presenting evidence. Start flipping switches.

Advice needed, girl acting confused and nervous around me

So I met this girl on one of my classes. Long story short, I notice her giving me "the look", and she happened to always sit next to me (even though there were other spaces available), and while next to me, play with her hair the whole time, towards my direction.

So anyway, I started talking to me and she was quite happy to talk, giggling a lot and acting a little nervous. Before I left, I asked for her number and if she would like to watch a movie with me and my friends later that day. She said yes, then maybe since she might have something to do. I called her that night and she told me she can't come because something came up, but that she's free all of the next day. So I called her the next day twice and she didn't pick up. Then I left her a message and she never returned my call.

In the meantime, through myspace, I found out that she's in a relationship.... Anyway the next time I saw her, I asked how come she never returned my call, and lets just say she came up with a very ridiculous lie. I know she lied because she contradicted herself with earlier statements she made. Anyway I notice that she was really really nervous around me that day. She was even blushing and maybe try to hide her emotions. Maybe confused at the same time. I didn't have much time to talk to her since I was in a hurry, but I asked if she would like to hang out sometimes, and she said she's really busy that week.

Later that day I left her a message saying that she should have told me she has a bf from the beginning...

Anyway, I haven't seen her since so....

Any advice on what I should do?
Should I forget about her, hang out with her or act like a good friend type of person? She looked kind of confused about things the last time I was with her. She probably doesn't like her bf that much but doesn't want to let go of him and at the same time doesn't want to reject me.
 

"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.

Her interest level in her bf was down when she gave you the number, then she panicked and felt guilty. There's nothing you can do but move on.

To be constructively critical, you did come on a little strong, calling her, what, three times? But worse is the guilt trip thing:

I asked how come she never returned my call...

Later that day I left her a message saying that she should have told me she has a bf from the beginning...


Obviously, you are mad at her for flaking, but it does not do any good to reprimand her. You punish her by forgetting about her, not by scolding her.

Forget about it her at this point. Initially she was interested but wanted to remain loyal to her bf. Your constant calling every day has more than likely ruined any chance you had and showed her that you were very needy. You should have taken charge at the beginning instead of saying "would you like to watch a movie with me and my friends," say something that comes off as confident and independent. Try "look I want to take the time to get to know you, I'm busy tonight with (track practice or any other rational excuse) but I'm free tomorrow after lunch. Are you free then?"
If yes... "then let's watch x movie at 2 o'clock at y place."
If no...then ask when she is free and shoot down the first time she says to show you aren't needy and then hesitate on her second suggestion and say "I think I can do that, if I have to cancel I'll text/call you." No matter what don't say "That is great I can't wait!!!!" Basically act like you have a lot of stuff to do, and don't seem too enthusiastic because enthusiasm and neediness are best friends.

you get the idea. If not I'll try to get back to you.

I only called her twice. Once where she didn't pick up and once where I left a message. And of course the first time where she told me she was free the day after.

And yeah I did come kind of strong when I mentioned why she didn't call me but thats because I wanted to get this thing to a conclusion. We really haven't talked in close to a week so..

I don't see how I acted desperate, quite the opposite. I called her initially because she told me she might come and that I should call just in case, then I called her the day after twice because she told me she was free the day after. Then boom in a 2 week time I didn't really call her.

I guess I'll get this to a conclusion when I see her. I'm just wondering if I should bother asking her to hang out, maybe for a coffee. Or just to show her I have no interest left. ...

Thanks for the advice by the way
 

"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"

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.
