"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.

Cursed out my ex after breaking NC. Need Perspectives

So here's the long and short...

My ex and I were together for two and half years. 18-20 months of which were great. Around the two year mark she turned 21, started dressing differently and going out pretty much every night. I got real insecure about it because I still loved her but I knew the breakup was coming inevitably. I started drinking more too and going out and would basically fight with her every time I got drunk. So, after a one or two months of this she tells me she kissed another guy. She begged, cried and pleaded for me not to leave her, and like an ass, I didn't. A month later she dumps me. I was pretty much numb the first month. I did the NC thing and she came back asking "How can you be over it so quick," and such. I broke NC and we ended up getting together to talk at my house. I made a move on her and we ended up having sex. The next day I told her I either wanted to get back together or not hear from her again. She said no and again, I went NC. So about 6 weeks later I broke NC and asked her to talk. She said no and I just left it at that. I was still pretty emotionally wrecked but I thought "That's it there's no hope just move on." BUT, two weeks later she asks to talk and to cuddle. I knew that meant sex so retardedly I said ok. This was last Sunday, October 16. She kept saying I love you and acted like she wanted to get back with me blah blah blah. When I told her AGAIN that it was either back together or nothing she tried to skirt around it by saying she can't be with an alcoholic and that she cares about me and would want to but can't because of that, which was obviously BS. So I said don't contact me. The next day she shows up at my house unannounced to "talk" and she tells me she actually f*cked the guy she said she kissed and she just felt so guilty about it. Well.... here's where I think I went overboard. I flipped out. I called her a selfish superficial insecure c*nt and that she obviously is a sociopath for trying to hurt me like this. She basically used me for an emotional tampon and sex the past two months, while I was holding out hope.

So I am currently back to NC but she won't stop texting and calling me. I only respond by saying stop contacting me and then ignore her. I am fully going NC and flushing any ideas of reconciliation out of my head.

I just want to know if I went overboard? Did I do the right thing? Obviously I should have stayed no contact but it's whatever at this point.

I'm just so torn up by all this that I started seeing a therapist and going to AA to quit drinking while I'm this depressed. (I don't really think I'm an alcoholic but I def can't be this depressed and drinking).

Some days I am ok, other days I feel like the worst **** in the world cause I screwed up with my one and only. I know this is all pretty normal after a breakup but I just need feedback. Am I f*cking crazy or is this girl an absolute mind f*ck?
 

"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 did the right thing. I don't think calling her a "superficial cvnt" was really necessary, but emotions can drive you to hurt others like that when they have hurt you.

There is absolutely no excuse for cheating. Your true "One and only" would never cheat. Keep going NC. In times like these if she's really attached to you, she might threaten you with talking about a suicide attempt. If she does this, do not reply.. Just call the police on her.

I can't imagine the grief you're going through on top of the drinking problem, and you have to stay strong and stay sober. Read some self-help material when you're feeling low or down in the dumps. No matter what, DO NOT CONTACT HER. She does not DESERVE your company.

Think about it this way, you were the GOOD person here. You gave her a second chance and she blew it. What does that tell you about her? She is incompatible to be in any relationship. She is not worthy to be your girlfriend.

Dude take all your emotion out of this! Remember a real man only feels emotions he wants to feel! Stop treating her like this failed love and just use her for sex. Thats the best thing you can do at this point. Next time she calls just answer the phone like its one of your buddies sound happy. Chat about regular stuff. If she wants to talk about "US" say something like "look thats over now were just friends, I have nothing more to say" invite her over to chill and bang her brains out. Nuff said dude, keep rollin!

you are completely right Splacker but it's dif with this girl too much emotion involved. I've been bangin it out with her but every time I do I'm f*cked up for a week after. There's been other girls in the past 3 months too but she's just got to much history attached...

ur post made me laugh though because that's exactly what I've been trying to do but it ain't workin.
 

"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."

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.
