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.
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.
Find the most rational response - use your rationality!collegeEJ said:mofro, don't take it out on me just because your girlfriend is cheating on you with her "best friend that's a guy.":rockon:
No, for real though, I appreciate the feedback from your perspective. It is really crazy to me the completely contradicting feedback I have gotten from this post. Everybody has their own interpretation of how things are and I'm still clueless. This might be the first and last time I seek advice on an internet board about a specific girl.
At this stage i think its not fully in the strictly friends category- but i can see it leaning towards heading that way.alright MMA Juan, I do plan on making a move, so what would your advice be on that??
YEEE-HAA!!Last Man Standing said:you are talking crazy!! It is her who was disrespectful to her b/f by getting in the hot tub with you!! This tells you that she has no loyalty - she is a "easy" girl"!
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.
.originally posted byCollegeEjWe studied together today for around four hours. I seemed to get to know her a lot better and we really opened up a lot in our conversation. I did ask her today if she was caught by surprise when I came up and randomly approached her at school and she said she was and that she doesn't get approached randomly like that by guys, and I was a little surprised. I guess that answers our question about how often good-looking girls get approached
yes this is weird, but not as much as you think. we all have our own "personal" ideas of what we think are flaws..just like as skinny chick thinking she is fat. yuo see what youwant to see.originally posted by collegeEJ
It might seem wierd but I constantly worry about my eyes and freaking people out with my eyes and I think this, in turn, giving off a bad vibe. Anybody else have this problem or is that just wierd??
Ducaro, I don't believe that you are 57, otherwise you would not be so astounded by my hor references since you have had the life experiences to validate my obvious claims!ducaro said:YEEE-HAA!!
I don't believe it! LMS you did it! As soon as I saw your post, my eye balls went into 'rapid movement mode' scanning the lines for the word 'Hor'.. and this time- not there!!! Isn't this like the first time!!?? Geezaloo, you are improving after all!!Hurra Hurra
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.
