"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.

Ex playing games?

"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"

Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.

You've been "getting ready" for two years.

She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.

Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.

She's trying to ease her way back in. She's being very cautious hoping that you'll make the move so that she's not responsible for it. Don't make that move..

Anyways, why is she your ex? Did you next her or did she next you? If so, what reason?

She must of lost some perceived power or ego with you during your breakup so now she is back playing these grab ass games with you trying to restore her wounded pride.

I can feel her resentment radiating through the screen on my computer monitor from what you have typed.

Going down this road with her will bring you nothing but a waste of time and sadness.

She's gonna continue to play games, hold grudges and try to turn situations around on you rather than taking responsibility for her own negative actions.

All this subtlety she is doing is all part of the ego restoration game.

Feel out the target, see if the target still has feelings, tempt the target, when the target makes even the slightest allusion to having feelings still cut the target off at the neck and say not interested making it out like the target is still the obsessed one.

And not herself of course.

Which is what this is all about.

You've been a member here 6 years and your falling for her classic behaviour? How old are you?

Why do you want to be her friend? What do you gain by having her as a friend? These are very important questions. You can't win her back by being her friend, it only makes her LESS attracted to you.
 

"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"

She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.

Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.

The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.

I don't really think I have fallen for any behavior. I actually wanted to get a reaction out of her to see where we stand and what her intentions are. I currently have another love interest so I am really not looking to get back in.

Having her solely as a friend does have some advantages.... She is usefull to me due to her connections in my respective field. In addition I must say, she truly is/was my best friend on even on a platonic level. We had been friends for years before dating for close to five.

Anyways, thanks for the replies. I just needed some second opinions of what transpired. I just didn't know if she attempted to put up the blockers by acting all pissy to see where I stood, or perhaps she truly became upset and then tried to just brush it off....
