"I just moved here from Florida."

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.

A girl I was dating for a few months all of a sudden claimed there was no connection because when she asked how I thought things were going, I would respond with one word answers like "good" and not open up. I did this because from day one I was fearful she would break up with me because I have self-esteem issues. She also claimed that I didn't seem like I was enjoying myself with her friends and family and the only reason why this was is because I suffer from depression.

Another true thing she mentioned was she was making all of the conversation. Everything she said was true because of my issues and I know I messed up because of them.

I came back with "no it's not like that at all. I think we have a great connection and you said so yourself (she did say that)." I suggested a date and said "me coming up to see you had nothing to do with being nice (she lives far away from me)." Last thing I said was "you're what I'm looking for" to which she said she's not sure she feels the same way and anymore and doesn't think we have much in common." None of that is true, she just doesn't know what's wrong with me.

After she said that, I said "well hit me up if you change your mind" which I think was a big fvcking mistake. I got brainwashed my Corey Wayne because of my low confidence.

My question is: do you think saying "well hit me up if you change your mind" made matters a hell of a lot worse.

And any chance she'll come back and anything I can do to help my case?

Responses appreciated.
 

"I'm Not Looking for Anything Serious Right Now"

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.

Doesn't matter if you said that Corey Wayne line or not. Imo she seems checked out of the relationship and not very concerned about losing you.

Your best bet is to lay low and wait if she reaches out. In the meantime I would work on your self esteem issues, that seems to be the root of your problem.

Learn from your mistakes, and move on.
 

"She's Out of Your League"

You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.

Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.

She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.

Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.

And since I said "hit me up if you change your mind" does that mean I can't contact her after a month?

She lost respect for you. You don't make her pvssy tingle any more. Sorry bud, it's over...

Listen to the meaning of her words, not the actual words!

To answer your question, your response was good! Whether or not she responds will give you your answer.

Sounds like you need to seriously work on your inner game. You have been here 5 months, have you improved at all?

I have improved. I dated this girl longer than other. I'm in college getting decent grades. I'm going to the gym. Do you think it's possible I can earn her respect back?

She might have lost respect for this reason: I went to a club with her and her friends and she bounced early without saying goodbye. Nine days later I called her again and she told me what she told me. I prolly shouldn't have called but I'm needy and I have to work on that. It's gonna be hard to change my ways cause I'm 26

Don't take offense to this, but no you haven't.

Decent grades in college?
Exercising is good

Dating longer than others? That is certainly no benchmark for improvement.

The proof of your weakness is in your words. And if you looked at Corey Wayne extensively, you would also know that he says just to walk and let her go. She may come back, she may not.

Your self-esteem is crap - work on that!
 

"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"

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.

How many times do you hit your thumb with a hammer, before you change positions?

That should tell you something.

You're young, plenty of girls will come and go. Try not to fix an already broken situation. Odds are, you'll return to the same patterns.

Move on, maybe she'll enter your life at a different point. If not, you've already moved on, anyway. If she does, you'll need to have a better frame.

Work on it!

I'm not taking the L. I'm gonna perform alchemy on myself and transform. I will draw her to me because of my unbelievable transformation. Why do you think it's so fvcked up? I say fvck all those other beautiful women you speak of. I'll stay straight edge until I get her back. She's what I want.

Did something like it before. Maybe most people have, or maybe not. Not sure.

But cut the crap. Aim for more balance in your relationships with women.
Good song, @deesade!

OP.... I’ve gone that route before. You improve, do some great things that you’re proud of thinking it will rope an ex back in. It doesn’t. If she accepts breadcrumbs, a date, and a lay... great. The feels don’t last bud.

You can’t keep a steady LTR with a zombie.

Let this one go.

Self-improve, good.... but do it because you want to take care of yourself for you because you value who you are as a person (self-respect through and through) and not change thinking that will entitle you to your main plate or future plates.

You couldn't be arsed to connect with her before. Now you want to devote your life to getting her back.

Notice the extremes in behaviour? It isn't healthy. She probably did the right thing in backing off.

No balance. Pushing her away for a long period, now setting yourself up for a long period of pulling her back in. Then you'll very probably push her away again.

But you will reframe that as something like being a romantic to glorify the behaviour, and further indulge.

I couldn't be arsed to connect with her before because I am bipolar and was on drugs. I'm clean now and believe it or not better
