"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.

"You should really do something about that!"

Yes, some girl actually told me this, truth be told she really caught me by surprise, but let me give you the background for this first.

During the last semester at school I've developed an interest in a female friend of mine. This girl also have a good friend who I'm in the "friend zone" with, something I really don't complain about since she's not my type.

The three of us have always had a good relationship, but during the last couple of months I've started to invest a bit more time with the one I just had as an aquaintance. During exam period we've spent not few hours talking, joking and studying together. All the time dodging LJBF pitfalls and promoting myself.

However, the story is mainly about Her friend.

During the exam period me and Her meet at school frequently, however her stressed friend is also found alongside Her and it's obviously that she doesn't appreciate my company and makes it clear to Her that "we need to go and study now" + giving me the Evil Eye :p

Here the other day I figured I should try to clam her a bit, so I send her an SMS wishing her good luck on the exams that are to come. Next day I run into Her at school and we spend a few moments talking before she's called in for the exam. The only ones left in the hallway are now me and ms Stressed. I walk over to her and am about to initiate a conversation when she all of a sudden bursts out:

"You're not planning to be staying here (in the hallway)? You're getting really pushy. Everytime there's a stress-situation you're there. I really think you should do something about that attitude".

This comes from the girl that I one month later, considered to be one of my good friends, needless to say I was a bit shocked and told her "Sure, I'll go study somewhere else. Good luck on your exam".

Now, the thought I was left with was "ungrateful b1tch" so she's on my ignore for the couple of months. However, in the nice light of Being in the Past I guess I could have given her a less AFC-response.

What I'm wondering about is if I should just kill the friendship and avoid her? This could be an issue in case she now starts to hang around with the girl I'm interested in all the time.

What I'm leaning towards is to just ignore her and go on with my business, so what if she doesn't speak highly of me to the girl I'm interested in?

And in general, how good "friend" should I be with the friends of the girl I'm interested in? I'm currently going for "just enough to let her know that I have other options, but nothing too serious".

"She Laughed All Night. Then She Ghosted You. Here's Why."

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.

She sounds like a dyke. You know what a real man would do?? Cut down a tree with a rusty saw and smash her in her dyke face with it.

Well sounds like she has the problem. She is associating her stress with you for some reason. Why are you around when she is stressed out? Why would you want to be? LOL

Usually when women start acting pissy they aren't going to go just come out and say,
"I'm a bit stressed over this exam and want to be alone" they blurt out some crap like she said...
 

"Why Women Dump the Guys Who Try the Hardest"

You paid for dinner. You drove. You said "whatever you want is fine" every single time. All the effort, no expectations.

And she left anyway — probably for a guy who makes her pick up the pizza.

Painful. Also predictable. Her mind quietly concludes that anything requiring zero effort from her is worth exactly zero. You became a free sample, and free samples get taken for granted.

The 22 Rules flip the dynamic. Small shifts that get her investing effort, money, and time in you — until SHE'S the one afraid of losing YOU.

Well, I have to admit it was a much as a rant as a question thread.

The reason I'm around her is because she's often in the vicinity of the girl I'm flirting with. She could feel that I'm ripping up the friend-relationship the three of us had during the semester, me flirting with her friend while I leave her no closer than my Friend zone, but who's she to decide who I'm interested in?

Thanks for the tip about mental KINO, I had given it a bit of thought, but since she's giving me a cold shoulder after I say "good luck" I figured I just shouldn't bother.

Ok, lessions learned...
- some people don't handle stress well
- avoid arguments with people that are convinced that You are a problem

And for the future...
- avoid situations where the girl you're flirting with are faced with some negative opinions about You from her own friends

One possible negative outcome on all this is that I'm obviously no longer liked by Her best friend, which could complicate things if she tells Her "Are you seeing him again? He's so annoying, let me tell you something about him..." However, if you've laid down a proper job on Her first you shouldn't fear that either. ;)

Ok, does anyone have any other GENERAL thoughts in cases when the friends of the girl you're flirting with gives you some hard critics? Either in the company of others or she faces you one-on-one?
