"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.
Alright guys, I fvcked up.

"Why Women Dump the Guys Who Try the Hardest"
You paid for dinner. You drove. You said "whatever you want is fine" every single time. All the effort, no expectations.
And she left anyway — probably for a guy who makes her pick up the pizza.
Painful. Also predictable. Her mind quietly concludes that anything requiring zero effort from her is worth exactly zero. You became a free sample, and free samples get taken for granted.
The 22 Rules flip the dynamic. Small shifts that get her investing effort, money, and time in you — until SHE'S the one afraid of losing YOU.

You are 17 and even though you may of taken the lessons on this site to heart not to fall into this insidious self destructive emotional trap sometimes only experiencing how horrible something is for oneself can make a person ever truly believe they shouldn't go down that road again in the future.
"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"
You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.
For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.
Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.
The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.

Your dealer has cut you off in other words heh heh.
The only part where you screwed up is in your own "head", in reality she probably didn't even notice anything wrong. Whatever happened, just forget about it, pretend like it never happened and try to learn from it.

Time does heal all wounds, trust me.
Learn from it and say screw it. when you invest heavily into something, you have to be prepared to walk away. it isn't as bad as it seems. That's all i can say.
all the best.

One-i-tis sucks dude, it's actually the main reason I've decided to change my entire relationship/dating lifestyle. Your best bet is to learn from it and remember that there are a sh1t-ton of other women out there. If you go out on the regular basis (even to the grocery store), you usually see at least one hot girl a day.
Don't take it to the heart, keep your standards high, head up, and continue to enjoy life.
Nice analogy.KontrollerX said:Withdrawal pains of the dopamine love chemical basically.

Next time don't let the woman be your happiness. You have to already be happy with yourself and being alone. You won't have a successful relationship until you are fulfilled without someone else.
