"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 am in a difficult situation and it seems like no matter what I do I can't escape it. I am a 10th grader and although I do have a group of friends at my school, it seems like I am not close to or valued among these friends because I always find that I have to initiate conversation with them, they never start talking to me. I first thought that I didn't really need them and could make other friends, but that turned out to be hard. I find it hard to make friends with other people in my classes because usually they seem to already know each other and start talking to each other and I am just sitting there by myself. I also don't know what to talk about with random people, for example, there is a popular kid in one of my classes that is really nice but when I talk to him we have nothing in common. I try to ask him questions about his sport, which is lacrosse, but I don't even know anything about it so I can't really talk about it. I've read so much and tried applying stuff but I just don't know what to do.
 

"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.

Hm are you sure that's a good idea? I don't really want to be known as an annoying person either.. and that might become a habit that is hard to break too.

Lets just say this. Being different is what starts the best conversations. Elaborate on your differences and you'll have good convo.

No, don't be "annoying".

"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.

I have a similar situation, sorta kinda. A couple of my friends have gotten sent to jail in the past few months (free mcs, tony, etc..), so my group has disapeared. I have a lot of "associates", but not many good friends. Basically, deal with it. The friends u value for life will come out of nowhere, u cant just create them. be patient, things get better as u get older anyhow.

The only thing that anyone can really suggest is to a) increase your self esteem and b) as a result, be more confident.

Self Esteem - This is going to sound superficial, but I find that new clothes can boost my self confidence by huge amounts. You have to start believing "It's not me, it's you.".

Confidence - There's a whole lot of stuff out there on confidence, so I won't elaborate. However, it's important.

You should be aiming to be able to just chat to EVERYONE. It can be about anything. You could, say, ask for help on a problem in class from someone, or if you're around the grounds, ask for the time or something, and go from from there.

The more you do it, the better you'll be at it. It just sounds like you're talking yourself out of being confident - just because you're not good at talking to people now doesn't infer than you can't change. Hell, nobody is really born with a silver spoon in their mouth and the conversational skills of Shakespeare. You have to work on it.

Read the bible. Sure it's written for interactions with females, but a lot of it can be applied to talking to just everyday people as well.

Good luck.
