So, all in all, I am being manipulated and I am not happy. Weigh the good and the bad, that feeling I get when I am with him and the feeling I have when I am away from, which i experience so much more. It's not good...
You replay the conversation at 2 a.m. She texted back fast yesterday. Today, nothing. Was that smile friendly or flirty? What did the shoulder touch mean?
Every hour you spend decoding her signals drains your confidence and hands her the controls. Women can sense that insecurity from across the room — and it repels them.
One of the "22 Rules" kills the obsession on the spot: assume she likes you, and act accordingly. Sounds too simple. Works anyway.
Her interest tends to rise to meet your expectations. Psychologists call it a self-fulfilling prophecy.
She calls you when her car breaks down. When she needs help moving. When some guy she's actually dating treats her badly.
You're the listener. The reliable one. The guy who would treat her so much better, if she'd just open her eyes.
She won't. You trained her to see you as the low-effort option — the friend who requires zero risk and zero investment. Every favor dug the hole deeper.
The "22 Rules" break the pattern. You'll stop auditioning for a role she already cast and become the man she chases instead. It starts with Rule 1.
Why the heck would he come back?? Out of the clear blue, he calls and says he wants to see me, he misses me and that's how it all started again. WHY?????This guy is clearly not interested and especially not after a previous break up
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.
You can see where mystery and challenge come into play. The whole reason you even get puzzy as being a don juan, is becuase you are free and that are trying to get to know you, if they do that quickly, then you lose mystery. If you tell her everything about you, where is the chase?

Its a fantasy that women create that they want guys to spend more time with them, go shopping with them, see their movies and do whatever they want you to do while believing their attraction will still be there. Women will always push for more things once they know they can. Its their nature to want everything but in reality they want a guy who is strong with a backbone who will stand up for himself and not let her whims affect him.

I feel deprived!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
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.
Playing games can involve many situations from harmless intial flirting games to cruel relationship mind games. When games involve manipulation, guilt, or lies, I check out every time. If someone uses these approaches on me, I count myself lucky and NEXT her immediately. There are too many other options to settle for less and compromise yourself.Originally posted by frivolousz21
but I sitll dont think we need to play games..
Of course he doesn't want you with someone else. What man wants this? This doesn't make what you have any more special. It is simply human nature. I think you've got enough ideas. Get to work and get back with the results.Originally posted by Jus_LikeCandy
But, he doesn't want me sleeping with anyone else, so what is a girl to do???
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.
