"The Kiss of Death Mistake"

You replay the conversation at 2 a.m. She texted back fast yesterday. Today, nothing. Was that smile friendly or flirty? What did the shoulder touch mean?

Every hour you spend decoding her signals drains your confidence and hands her the controls. Women can sense that insecurity from across the room — and it repels them.

One of the "22 Rules" kills the obsession on the spot: assume she likes you, and act accordingly. Sounds too simple. Works anyway.

Her interest tends to rise to meet your expectations. Psychologists call it a self-fulfilling prophecy.

I have a girlfriend and she really is a great girl. I like her alot and she feels the same. I deeply feel that i can trust her, but still i get jealous, like something is going to happen when she talks to other guys. When i see her talking to other guys or guys trying to flirt or talk to her it annoys the hell out of me. I can't see the possible innocence in it but rather the potential danger. Im in constant worry that one day she will begin talking to somebody and eventually through constant conversations she will grow feeligns for this person. This is my greatest fear because i know i can't banish her from interaction from the opposite sex but i feel it is possible for her gradually begin to like someone over time.

Im just looking for advice to help me deal with this problem
 

"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.

I wouldn't be too worried. As one of the DJ Bible articles said "You can't control what other people do. (Women). Focus on what you CAN do, and do what you do best."

If you girlfriend's overall attitude changes, then there is probably something going on. Trust your gut, I've found that my gut is the best thing for me to trust. If you feel so insecure that you have to talk to someone about it....DONT. It will only confuse you more.


Trust your gut, and also just remember you're better than everyone else, why would she want to date another guy over you anyway? right? :D

I've been there done that. I was with a girl, who at the time I thought was amazing, but wasn't even that great. I was insecure and she was all that I had. So I had similar feelings to the way you have expressed about her talking to other guys.

You're insecure about this because you're insecure with yourself. I think you're insecure because you think if you lose this girl then that's it for you. You're back to square one with nothing. But it doesn't have to be that way. Why don't you go out and talk and flirt with other girls? Don't make it a point to let your girlfriend see, but do it for yourself so that if something were to ever happen you would have plenty of other girls who would jump all over the chance to get with you.

Doing this will build confidence, destroy some of this jealousy you have, and will be healthy for your relationship. Again, don't upset your girlfriend by doing any of this. Keep it innocent.

Start flirting with other girls and get numbers, you don't have to use them it's just that when you know other girls are interested in you you get rid of insecuritys.
 

"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.
