"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.

I have been working at a restaurant called Bahama Breeze for 3 years now. A new co-worker 1 month ago just started working there. This person is someone I haven't seen in over 4 years that I used to went to high school with. I was interested to see what's up with her since we had similar interest. Anyways, one date led to another date which led to multiple sleepovers at her place (didn't mean it this way). We did have sex on different occasions.

But I do have a couple problems. I don't want to go into details, but she has some serious family issues and she will not stop talking about it every time we hang out. It has become such a bothersome that I have lost all interest in hanging out with her. Another problem is that she called me one time while she was drunk and expressed her feelings about me...like she cared about me, she wanted to be with me, ect. Usually at this point I would tell the person to move on, and I wouldn't talk to them. But I WORK WITH HER is the problem. I want to minimize any tensions at work between us. I'm the type of person who does not want to create any enemies with people I associate with on a regular basis. I respect everyone, and in turn everyone respects me. Any suggestions on how I would be respectful to this co-worker while taking care of this relationship issue?

Thanks in advance for any help here
 

"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.

Well, I think I know what to do now. Somehow I have got to make her feel disinterested in me, but in a polite manner. I don't want sh!t talking going around work. Any suggestions here would be greatly appreciated.

sit her down in person and talk to her. tell her u don't feel the same way about her anymore and that u would just like to be friends. let her down easy and she'll be less likely to cause drama.

I guess I should approach the way you told me Conner. Thanks. I was probably making this a big deal more than I should and just flat out tell her should be the best way. Oh well, i better not see tears damm1t.

“The 22 Psychological Triggers That Make Women Chase You… Starting Tonight”

Forget the cash, the cars, and the chiseled jawlines. Female desire operates on a completely different frequency. Primal. Subconscious. Triggers that bypass her logic and hit her on a gut level. Most guys are totally blind to them.

I know because I was one of them. The overthinking. The paralysis. The silent drive home kicking yourself for freezing up. Watching average guys walk away with the girl while you stood there stuck in your own head.

Then I decoded the psychology behind what actually makes women tick. 22 hard rules.  Subtle behavioral shifts that rewired my entire reality. The anxiety evaporated. Women started leaning in. Investing. Chasing.

Be careful with "letting her down easy". No chick likes to be rejected, and doing so will often times make them despise you.

Personally I prefer the minimize method, which is basically you don't hang out that often but when you do, pretend like you don't notice her comments or the fact that she likes you.

If, if she brings up making things official then you just play the "I don't want a relationship right now" card. That way it doesn't sound like you're rejecting her specifically (which you are), it just sounds like you're rejecting an idea, which is easier for her to take.

A better place, a better time.
I had this same problem with a coworker a while ago. I didn't want any relationship out of it, but she did.

I basically did the same thing Jaxon suggested and it worked out perfectly. Just act the way an uninterested girl would act towards you. One word answers, don't laugh at her jokes, decline any offers to do anything social with her, etc. She'll get the hint. Sounds like you already feel this way around her anyways so it should be no problem.

If she gradually catches on that you're uninterested then there's less chance of her erupting when you drop the bomb all of a sudden.

I've learned this the hard way. It's not to my preference anymore, it all ended in a fiery crash.
 

"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"

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.

Studying the fact that all lies contain fragments
Yeh you dont suggest it but it will always happen and is the number one place that affairs happen.. Many people spend more time with their coworkers than they do with their spause or mate.. Yes there will be endless drama, but that will happen under any situation.

The fact and the details that I asked her on a date is somewhat irrelevant to want I'm trying to find an answer to. Because I lost interest of my co-worker, I want to let her go so she doesn't develop these intimate feelings for me any further while maintaining our "professional relationship." Anyways, I tried Jaxon's suggestion on slowly losing the interest. It's kinda working so far and she is getting the message. On the other hand....

she did call one night complaining about how she lost $400 at a mexican restaurant. I felt a little guilty, so I stayed on the phone with her. Then she started mentioning other issues she had, and I had my fill of her complaints and negativity. I told her to quit being negative and "it wasn't my fault that you lost that money." Of course she thought I was a total a$$hole, but it was midnight and I was tired. I wanted to go to sleep. Now she is sad that I'm ignoring her and keeps calling back apologizing...

Well this is where I'm at in this relationship. She said she may be putting her two week notice in soon to work at a different restaurant. I sure hope she does. I guess I'll keep everyone updated on this
