"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."

Attraction runs on a clock.

She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.

The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."

One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.

Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.

I regret almost everything I did for this stupid girl.
Its really amazing to me how someone has gone through the same thing as I did and still am. I thought there is no way noone has ever been through this. But I guess there is. My ex gf is the biggest AW. We broke up about 2 weeks ago. She is the biggest slvt.
In the beginning she smothered the living sh*t out of me. I guess it was nice considering I stopped dating this other girl. Anyways she would buy me stuff give me all the attention, go out of her way chose me above any other idiot who was chasing her. Obviously I didn't chase after her in the beginning cause she came on real strong but seemed pretty cool. It was kind of funny cause I would treat her like the biggest piece of sh*t. I would talk with others of how much of a slvt she is, talk stories with my roomate who fvcked around with her at the same time I did. I would basically talk sh*t and she knew I was using her.

She kept on asking for a LTR and I would say no and this is only after knowing me for a couple of weeks. Apparently she would cry when I would reject her. These types of girls have problems and they want to get back at you in the most evil way if they can. If youre not strong enough you will be stressed out and messed up. To get back at me for talking sh*t about her and rejecting her at the same time she went ahead and fvcked one of my friends i introduced her too. She even went to the lengths of inviting me over after the bars laying in bed with her and then getting up to go fvck my friend at his house right down the street. At one point she was boning me my friend and my roomate in the same week. I found this out later. Anyways I got a little jealous of her sexcapades cause we were hanging out a lot and I started liking her cause I was on the rebound. She did that sh*t again of fvcking my friend when I was there threatened to leave her and she said fine dont leave I want a LTR and this is after a couple of months now. Stupid me agreed cause we were pretty close friends and I liked her company.

The beginning of the relationship was fine all good we actually had a blast. Then she started being stupid talking to other guys on the phone right in front of me flirting and stuff like that you know stuff to make me jealous and angry. She would call me a drama queen. I would say stuff to her about being stupid I should have been calm but everything was my fault according to her we got in huge arguments then would make up quickly. We broke up cause I stayed with her for a week and she got annoyed even though I didnt do anything. The funniest thing is when she said she wanted too I said to her that I could get way better than her and she was messed up in the head cause of all the drugs she snorted up her nose. I felt bad though and try to fix things. about a week later everything was good.

Later on it turned into her kind of pulling her self away and me trying to win her approval she would then come back and give me what I wanted then leave again. Then it got to the point where she wanted space and when she said this I got mad at her. She then didnt talk to me for a couple of days even when I saw her out. She called later and wanted to fix things. But before that was done my mom stepped in cause I was telling her about my problems. She got her phone number from my cell phone bill. My mom called her and said some mean things to her and told her to stay away from me. I felt bad and tried to fix things. Its kind of hard to fix that. Now she is trying to break me down and fvck with me try to turn me on my mom and make me realize all this stupid stuff. I am already aware of her fvcking some other dudes and probably svcking some d*ck. Obviously we arent toghter. I kind of find myself trying to fix it and act nice while she is being a bi*ch. Its funny that all I did for her and how many times we slept together and now she feels uncomfortable with me but can still svck a dude that she is aware of of him calling her a slvt and talking sh*t. She will probalby just do that to every guy and leave them in the dust cause she feels I caused everything and screwed her over when in fact she did it ot herself by acting like that. I do have feelings for her how can you not after being with someone for almost a year straight I wish she would slap some sense into herself but she probably wont. Im a good guy I could and will get better than her. But I wish I could help her but I dont think I will or want too. She is in a cycle that will last along time. She is very silent but deadly you gotta be strong and not give a sh*t if you ever deal with a person like this. Watch I wont call her and shell call me sometime or another trying to suck me in but Im not all about that anymore.
 

“The 22 Rules That Flip the Script With Women… And How You Can Use Them Tonight”

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.

Yeah you best stay away from the "Walking wounded". They are forever misrable and whoever gets involve with them will get infected. After they are done with you they walk all happy like nothing happen and you end up being the "walking wounded".

Been with someone like that myself I can tell you that you can't help them. They got snakes between their ears or something and they will continue to do stupid sh1t to themsleves and others. Their only concern is self gratification and not thinking about the consequences. They can only save themselves when one day they wake up and discover how fvcked up they are. However by that time its too late and they are in a deeper hole then they can climb. They require a serious psychiatric proffesional who can handle them because we can't and we shouldn't.

Even by a miracle chance they manage to fulfill their fantasies (they always claim to be mad or upset because life is not fair and they live in a fantasy land) they will end up messing it up and create new problems. Its best to keep a distance from them and not try to be Captain-Save-A-Ho. Sad but true.

Interesting you have quotation marks around Walking Wounded. You aren't alluding to a particular song by the tea party are you?

alldidas: You said yourself that you treated her badly. What did you expect when the relationship was founded on this? You can't build a healthy relationship on rocky grounds.
 

"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.

I had to treat her like that cause the way she was acting but she put on that stupid front of innocent so I felt bad and she sucked me in. She basically has fvcked up my life as of right now. Stupid me moved back up next to her after I graduated. Payed rent when I could have lived in another place for free. I dont a whole bunch of sh*t for her. The only thing good that came out of all of this is that I know who to steer clear of and how to deal with them if I ever do. She drives me so crazy that when I dont call her I can pretty much ignore her but once she calls those feelings come back and I call her 2 or 3 times to see what she wanted. I just solved the problem and changed my phone number so she could not call me anymore. Sad and stupid.

interestingly enough... i started hanging out with a girl who seemed to be an AW; at the least, she would hang out with her guy friends and flirt with them in front of me, half of which were her ex-bfs. i was cautious and did what i could to not get attached. i took it one day at a time and enjoyed the moment.

we had such good times. not long after, she got attached. after a couple months it got to the point where she didnt go out and party any more, rarely drank, didnt hangout with her dude friends...

long story short, 8 mos into seeing eachother, it went from "is she an AW?" to her being a great woman, living a healthy lifestyle, not to mention that she showers me with gifts and loves to please me. i treat her great and care for her.. but im still suprised she made the switch.

4-6 mos into dating, she fell in love with me. maybe thats why she changed her ways. all i know is that we're both in our early 20's and life is good, so im going to enjoy it.

Been there, done that!! Its really more sad that anything else, they are so self destructive but have no conception of what their actions do to people because they are so emotionally unstable. I'm glad you changed your # because this byatch would have called you forEVER, even though she's suxing other doods ding-alings!! Your right you did learn a valuable lesson, you know the signs of the deep Attention W-hores and you'll never fall for it again.

And bro, trust me your still trapped in her web because you feel like you treated her like shiat!! You didn't trust me!! She MADE you treat her that way because that's all she knows, she can't stand it long term to be treated well because she's never had that. Don't try to help her, save her etc, that's something the person has to realize and you didn't cause her issues, so don't try and fix them unless you want her to keep ruining your life.

Sounds like a female 'commitment-phobe'. Most AW's chase destructive relationships because they have low self-esteem and every time a relationship ends in tears, they justify their own beliefs. It's believed to come from a lack of parental understanding which causes people to build an unsatisfactory relationship with their parents and hence with everyone else.

On rare occasions an AW will fall into a good relationship and stays, allowing their relationship evolution to complete and effecting a cure.

Psychobabble? Probably...but I like its symmetry...

I feel your pain man. I've dealt with a girl who was exactly like this.

Do some research on "borderline personality disorder" - it will make you feel a lot better and understand what the heck was going on with this chick. Based on what you've posted, I'd bet the house that she is a borderline.

Also, when she called you a drama queen or other derogatory names, understand that she is talking about HERSELF and not you... borderlines use something called "projection"... take nothing she ever said to heart, and don't let it hurt your game with girls in the future. They'll often say whatever they think will hurt you the most, because they want to hurt you as badly as they themselves are hurting inside.

Keep your chin up, bro. If you want to chat about this with someone who's been there, or want some links to some good BPD websites, feel free to PM me.

No Actually its a coined termed I found on Askmen.com.

They define " walking wounded" -- someone who has been hurt in past relationships and so subconsciously avoids or sabotages new relationships in the present.

They carry around unresolved hurt and anger from past relationships and expect the new men in their lives to tolerate their outbursts.
