Alright, on second thought maybe saying it was a mistake - but again, who cares what she thinks? It's time to move on.
She says the movie looks dumb; you suddenly agree. She tests you with a little attitude; you apologize for nothing.
You think you're being easy to get along with. She reads something else entirely: a man with no edges. Nothing to hold on to. No friction, no tension, no reason to wonder what he really thinks.
The "22 Rules" taught me to push back — playfully, calmly, without needing her approval. Strange things happened after that.
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.
Stop second guessing yourself fellaCerwinVegaFan said:Alright, on second thought maybe saying it was a mistake - but again, who cares what she thinks? It's time to move on.
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.
When dealing with BPDs you don't follow the normal stages of grief. It's impossible because the BPD is still alive, and could still make contact and/or be seen at any point - as well as the unresolved feelings and the trauma of the relationship itself.CerwinVegaFan said:All these memories come floating now and everything seems to fit so well:
This one time we went out with my friends, after 5 minutes she said she's feeling cold and wants to go home. I told her I will come with her, she literally pushed me out of her car so I won't come with her.
I called her at 2am and her phone was busy. Now I know why she went home that slot.
Now I know why she was tired all the time.
Now I know why she was acting so indifferent.
I'm not worried, karma will take care of her.
What does it say about me? Am I already at stage 2- anger?
No contact is more for when they're still in your life. If they're not in your life, work on yourself, go the gym, read self-help books, go out clubbing, go make new friends, go sky-diving, go the library. Make new neural paths - do new things that aren't associated with the BPD. You're into habits, habits that can't be fulfilled now that she's left. But you literally need to deal with the issue YOU HAVE, that causes you to have such a person in your life, and to crave the kind of sociopathic abuse that you've suffered.Mrgoodguy301 said:Everybody always says go no contact, what the hell are you suppose to do when they go silent and just up and leave? I don't get her,..
Dinner ran three hours. She laughed at everything. You walked her to her car thinking this one's locked in.
Then: nothing. Two texts. No reply. What happened?
You did what most men do on a great date. You filled every silence, answered every question, and left her with nothing to wonder about. No mystery. Nothing to sit with when she got home.
Rule 3 of the "22 Rules" changes the ending: tell her a little, hold back the rest, and let her imagination do the chasing. The ghosting stops too.
Actually ignoring mine at the moment. She keeps posting stuff on fb that she knows I like, suddenly starts loving cats, and loving my songs on smule telling me how she's listened 4 times. I shall continue to ignore. I really want to see her start telling me how much she loves me.Dgwizdal said:Good thread - the only way to keep BPD chicks around and in line is to treat them like dog **** and stick to your guns when the manipulation comes. She will worship you. Sad but True - Never get emotionally invested and give very little if any validation.
Ignore them and watch them go bat **** insane.
I don't think anyone is that AFC that they would sit around waiting for their BPD to contact them for years.Mrgoodguy301 said:Yeah but when they start ignoring you they can last for years. Watch out with that one.
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.
