In tears over here.
Tears.
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.
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.
couldnt be more true. i had a similar experience and posted about it here..f283000 said:The only one that's getting his head messed up is you! Are you this naive?
This girl is playing games with you. You say you're in her head yet she tells you she can't hang out with you anymore and that she want right back to her ex. You really are naive to not see what's going on.
She's stringing you along and has you right where she wants you.
If a girl tells you she misses you and wants to be with you yet she is f**** another guy who she claims "she can't stand" that's classic women mind games. You can do a search in the forums and find out just how much women use this tactic on naive guys that don't know what's going on.
The whole purpose of this tactic is to string you a long and make you her ego booster. Women can be players too and nothing inflates their ego more knowing they are wanted by a guy and keep one stringing along.
What you need to do is to delete her from your life.
Have you been taking crazy pills :crazy:perseverance said:You've gone from handling the situation very well to becoming an immature moron.
Was the last exchange necessary at all? Not really, it was just you shooting your venom because I reckon you're still angry about what happened with this girl because you grew attached to her because she took your virginity and then ditched you for her ex. This is where this whole thing should have ended, but no you've dragged it out to the end of the semester. Why?
I don't really think that this girl did anything wrong to you, she did you no personal wrong and you're punishing her because she hurt you. You rejected her once, that should have been more than enough. All you've done here is drag her emotions through the dirt in revenge.
When a woman hurts you, cut them off and don't even acknowledge their presence, it is much better for you, because you aren't giving her the attention or the closure that she wants. You have given her an abundance of both in the last exchange.
You came off as a bitter, angry and frustrated man in this latest exchange. Your posts have made some fine entertainment and you have shown you are not someone who lacks a backbone, but you have to know the right time to switch it off and move on.
This whole thing has gone on for nearly three weeks, three weeks far too long.
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.
He owed her nothing and gave her everything.Kenny Powers said:Have you been taking crazy pills :crazy:
Dude the girl kept contacting and approaching him. Just ignoring her would have been bitter. She was the one who dragged it out. Besides cut him a break he lost his virginity to her and still had feelings for her.
She was leading him on hard core earlier and then when he manned up and stopped being interested in her she freaked out and started dating her ex again the next day. This girl is messed up and would have just ended up hurting him again. He played it perfectly!
What else was he supposed to say during their last exchange. He was polite but serious and let her know it was over. However, he also let her know why he didn't want to be with her and that she shouldn't have played with him like that.
I love how you say he should have been nicer but then recommend NC. I'm sure 99% of girls would consider what he did nicer than NC.
I could talk to any woman I wasn't attracted to. Charming, funny, relaxed. Then a gorgeous woman looked my way and I'd become a sweating, babbling mess.
The fix took me years to find and ten minutes to learn. Nervousness and excitement are the same physical state — pounding heart, adrenaline, flushed face. Your brain just picks the label. And you can pick a better one.
Rule 16 shows you how. You feel the nerves, relabel them as excitement, and let that energy pour out as enthusiasm. Women notice the guy radiating it. They always do.
Bang her? He banged her before and got attached.Jariel said:Perseverance: But the big difference is, he could now bang this chick if he wanted.
Also, I wouldn't underestimate the effect this will have on his confidence. If he'd cut her off when she hurt him, he'll remember this experience as one where he was rejected, where he didn't feel good enough and as a negative blow to his ego. Now, he can walk away from this feeling on top and feeling confident. Sometimes that actually means a lot.
He could have ignored her in the lessons, what is it? Three weeks of silence between in class and he never sees her again.CantTouchMyStyle said:Perseverance is a huge AFC.
He could not completely cut her off - he was stuck in class with her! He did CUT her off! He said he didn't reply to texts/calls! She didn't get the lesson and pushed the issue.
Yeah, I am taught respect, courtesy, etc.. Respect is earned not given. She deserves nothing for the way she acted. OP properly put her in place. She was playing head games and trying to keep him around for another time. He wasn't buying what she was selling and put his foot down. It's that simple.
He didn't even come off bitter. He was brutally honest with her. Her actions were a joke. And even if he did come off bitter - it doesn't matter. She realizes she fvcked up and now is crying herself to sleep and taking it on her boyfriend, who she cheated on. She has to look that poor schmuck in the face every day.
Women like this woman can perceive what they like, I couldn't care less. They're not worth the hassle, or the effort. They certainly aren't worth three weeks of your life neither.PairPlusRoyalFlush said:The OP did it perfectly. Many women would perceive no-contact out of nowhere as insecure, childish, and a SIGN that she got to you, although it has the seemingly mutually exclusive effect of re-igniting attraction. This is why I don't do it, I just back off and remain in the friendzone while using the girl for social proof when I am over her. In this case, he doesnt care about that, nor should he. Also, he managed to confront her in a way that did not make him seem hurt or insecure. IF you are unable to do this, then no contact like perseverance says is a good alternative.
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.
You raise a fair point, but I'd just rather not associate myself with low quality people. I'm a bit snobby like that, you won't see me associate myself with the village tart for instance. I have no interest in contracting gonorrhea. I also think no contact is an effective method and I enjoy using it.PairPlusRoyalFlush said:IMO being civil and "friends" shows more indifference than no contact. No contact is for when you are not able to get over this person.
That's cool bro. Just look how you turned it all around!FeelsGoodBro said:Slept with her last night.![]()

I don't even know how it happened.
I went out to a local bar with some friends. She randomly shows up with a few of her friends. Starts talking to me and after I had probably 3 too many offers to share a cab. I say okay. She looked much better than usual. She gets dropped off first and tells me to come inside.
She's been single for a few weeks now supposedly. Good lord.
