Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."
You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.
She's been waiting forty minutes.
Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.
I don’t know man.. a woman wouldn’t drunkenly state an L-Bomb and then vanish like Chris Angel - especially if she cheated.. if I had to peg anything? She sounds scared or something. Women don’t just UP AND LEAVE all of a sudden. 5 months. No fights? There’s warning shots and red flags prior to departure. Always.
Forget the cash, the cars, and the chiseled jawlines. Female desire operates on a completely different frequency. Primal. Subconscious. Triggers that bypass her logic and hit her on a gut level. Most guys are totally blind to them.
I know because I was one of them. The overthinking. The paralysis. The silent drive home kicking yourself for freezing up. Watching average guys walk away with the girl while you stood there stuck in your own head.
Then I decoded the psychology behind what actually makes women tick. 22 hard rules. Subtle behavioral shifts that rewired my entire reality. The anxiety evaporated. Women started leaning in. Investing. Chasing.
Yes and that i love you just before she leaves is a warning sign, its remorse for something imo
Maybe. We need more relationship context.
And men think they can outmaneuver a woman in psychological warfare. Lol
If id be the one leaving after 5 year and getting married after 3 month id have a **** load of remorse for doing that to my ex.
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 agree
I read his story on that a while ago, think it was from 2010 or so... I've never seen any other woman brought up here like her. I2TG's woman transformed into, or was latently all along, a true disciple of satan. I think every guy should read his threads on that ex...
It’s really tough for us to do that. Well, women haters can but I love women.
You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.
Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.
Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.
Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.
Which is what I prefer.
Yes she introduced me to three of her friends on seperate occasions. They all said they've heard so much about me. I've met some of her family also. She also made birthday cakes for members of my family.
Oh I don’t know man. The woman would have to be well trained not to spill something at some point. These are average humans; emotional too.
Good explanation there
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.
Yes to all mate. Plenty of passion and disagreements. I've been bossy with her on many occasions. The tonality is because i half expect it with women - not to say it doesnt hurt when it does come to an end though. I am pissed off.
Don’t reward her. Find another woman walking around and just say...
She always left her phone around by me when we were with each other. Even if she left the house for 20 minutes. She was never cagey with it. At least when i was there. It could easily be another guy around. Never got an inkling of it but you never know
You speak truth there. Its a bummer though because it took me 5 weeks to do with her name on it! The day before i was about to present it to her as well.
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.
