You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.
Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.
Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.
Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.
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.
Hyper2010 said:Split with ex a month ago, initiated NC 2 weeks ago. Got message last night saying she wanted to chat. Popped round, ended up banging her. Feel pretty crppy today. Is this normal? Any thoughts?
That would be a dream scenario, unfortunately, 9 out of 10 fail to keep thoose feelings down, why the NC is the only thing to go with.Vidrio said:As long as you don't develop feelings for her I don't see the problem. You might as well keep banging her until you get new options (If you don't have any already).
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.
Eh? he had sex with her, the only thing he lost was sperm.betheman said:yes its normal but it isnt good, this is why when you go NC, you stay that way. you are now back to square 1. she has asserted some control over you, you have lost some ground. so yes, it is normal, it isnt right but it is normal.
so why is he feeling like crap?Eternal_water said:Eh? he had sex with her, the only thing he lost was sperm.
he had some sex and can go NC again.
Quite a few threads recently along the line of "im getting too much action and interest from girls and I don't like it" like seriously what?
Send her my way for the sex next time if you don't want it, I won't complai about getting some
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.
Okay.Hyper2010 said:I think the reason I feel like crap, are that she was very huggy/cuddly before and after the sex, and confessed to still loving/missing me since we split up. Yet due to what happened when we split, there is NO possible way in this world we could ever sort this out. I knew this when I went round, and even had the mindset of see if I could get laid, and if not go home for a tug. But truth be told didn't expect her to put out.
Still it was my birthday today and made a nice present whilst Im spinning other plates....
She even confessed that since I went NC she had nearly rung me a few times.
