HA-HA!!! Sounds like a challenge!!!! :crackup:MacAvoy said:
"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.
Does "No Contact" really work?
- Thread starter My Name is Nobody
- Start date
"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.

I'm back. And I'm over it. She did me a favor. Time for newer and better things. Out with the old and in with the new.
And the new is hot as hell.

Welcome back my friend.
"How I Made Sure No Woman Ever Friend-Zoned Me Again"
She calls you when her car breaks down. When she needs help moving. When some guy she's actually dating treats her badly.
You're the listener. The reliable one. The guy who would treat her so much better, if she'd just open her eyes.
She won't. You trained her to see you as the low-effort option — the friend who requires zero risk and zero investment. Every favor dug the hole deeper.
The "22 Rules" break the pattern. You'll stop auditioning for a role she already cast and become the man she chases instead. It starts with Rule 1.

Actually, I have forgotten about this woman because I had a hot date this morning. And I have another date tomorrow with a different girl. So I'm doing what I always say to do... turn getting rejected into something positive by finding someone better.
"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.

for me, rejection is always feedback, no matter how late in the game

You've tossed her number, you don't even see her at work, and you're finally almost over her. Why in hell would you want to get back on good terms with her? Do you realize what could happen if you did? Don't tell me that you need some type of 12-step program to deal with this!My Name is Somebody said:

Wow this was a train-wreck of a thread. Just agonizing. But hopefully many will learn from it.
I think NC is for YOU.
Not to get too much into my own story, but a few months ago my fiance broke up with me 90 days before our wedding because she had some sort of bipolar episode or something. I went NC. Yea, it sucked total balls, but I deserved better from someone who I was supposed to marry than a total flake out like that. NC helped me get over that MUCH faster and move on.
With this last girl I've been seeing, I was doing all the chasing, and then I went NC (except when she contacted me 1st) I feel the tide SLOWLY starting to turn back into her chasing me.

Interesting thread. There is a girl I have a crush on and haven't talked to her for about 3 months since we hung out, I got drunk and made some advances (would have done the same if sober) which she rejected by saying "don't touch me." Her birthday is coming up soon and the lame issue of "should I call to say happy birthday?" is coming up. Part of me says "yeah, just text her or send her a card." Other part says "just leave her alone, you should have moved on anyway."
Sad story for me but it's true. I still have a lot to learn and more to experience in life. On top of that I'm feeling a bit down today but I have a feeling that getting some important things done at home this evening and getting a good nights rest will make me laugh at this post tomorrow.
Anyway is this a rant thread or can I get some help on this? I'd love to get some more insight on what you guys think without making a new thread.

"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.
