Some people just need to learn the hard way.f283000 said:this must be the millionth "gf/ex re-initiated contact" thread i've seen and they always end the same way.
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.

Most guys accidentally kill attraction before they even speak. They assume they need a bigger bank account, a better physique, or smoother lines. They miss the point.
Female desire operates on a specific set of psychological triggers. Break them, and you're invisible. Follow them, and you become magnetic.
I learned this the hard way. Years of freezing up. Getting friend-zoned. Watching other guys walk away with the girl I wanted. Then I discovered a set of 22 simple rules that rewired my entire approach.

But Hit it and leave? Who are you fooling? That doesn't sound like you. If you hit it tonight, you'd be waking up early to serve her breakfast in bed tomorrow. This little 3-month relationship has you all mushy and soft.
You need to just break ties with this girl for a while. Go out on the town for a few months, work out, meet women, make more friends...basically become a new man. If you wanna give her a call AFTER all that, just to show off the cool new you, then go for it.

That's not always true though. Some girls legitimately feel like they screwed up when breaking up with their boyfriends. In the story of my ex and me, there wasn't any other guy in the equation. She started talking to me about less than a week after things had ended. I cut off contact, and it screwed with her. If anything else had been happening on the side, I would have heard about it, seeing as she was still hanging out with my friends. Girls don't always leave one guy for another, sometimes they simply take a break from dating. Some girls leave their boyfriends only for the fact they don't have feelings for them anymore. I still stand by my original message that this won't work out in the end, and you're only holding yourself back by going back to this girl. She WILL break up with you again.sodbuster said:OK, here's my take. THe guy she WAS interested in dating,didn't fall for her,it didn't work out, etc.,etc., SO ,she calls to see if you'll take her back-give her dinner and sex until she can find better. You are looking to get hit harder next time.
I could talk to any woman I wasn't attracted to. Charming, funny, relaxed. Then a gorgeous woman looked my way and I'd become a sweating, babbling mess.
The fix took me years to find and ten minutes to learn. Nervousness and excitement are the same physical state — pounding heart, adrenaline, flushed face. Your brain just picks the label. And you can pick a better one.
Rule 16 shows you how. You feel the nerves, relabel them as excitement, and let that energy pour out as enthusiasm. Women notice the guy radiating it. They always do.
