"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 met this girl in an intensive english teaching job. We hit it off and I make her laugh. She's asked if I was seeing anyone and has demonstrated the typical IOIS. She's 10 years younger as well. She plays the guitar as I do and has asked me to come round to hers to change her strings.."and we can have a few beers"

The course just lasted a month and finished yesterday with a staff dinner. There were about ten people there. There was a noticeable increase in kino, but the drink was also flowing and I got drunk. Not silly drunk, I was in control but drunk all the same. When we were walking to get a taxi she said" I'm just going home for a shower and straight to bed. I'm so tired."

Of course that meant nothing for me in the bedroom department. I hid my disappointment and walked her to taxi and gave her a goodbye hug and kiss on the cheek. I'm cringeing now thinking about the cheek thing. So afc. She repeated the the guitar thing but I reckon if she was really into me she would've ****ed me last night.

I'm spinning plates and doing things right in general but last night was a downer.

Next move is basically "no contact" go ghost right?

"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"

Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.

She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.

Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.

So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.

The words come later. The impression comes first.

Yeah she probably wasn't interested in sloppy booze sex. Watch your intake, drink more water. She'll contact you, that's your green light to schedule the guitar string fixing. Become the teacher, make her do it. It's not that difficult.

Escalate! The guitar fixing is just an innocent excuse, you know that.

Cheers man. If she doesn't contact in a couple of days do you reckon I should open up contact again?

I'm definately giving up alcohol after this. Just too messy and leads to poor decisions.

Dont complicate it. She is obviously into you and there could have been reasons why she didnt **** you that night. Maybe she WAS tired or maybe she was on her period or was too drunk so just contact her in a couple days or whatever but i bet she will contact u first

Thanks. I contacted her on Monday. Probably should have waited. Anyway, we arranged for tomorrow and she's just texted saying she can't. She countered with next Tuesday which is 6 days away. I feel it's losing momentum as I was getting psyched up to escalate for tomorrow. Let's see what happens.
 

"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"

You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.

For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.

Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.

The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.

I have a massage therapist like that..... she's sick or she can't find a sitter, or??? She's the best massage therapist I've had and will do a 150 minute massage. BUT, she's NOT dependable. I have 3 others I will use before her for that reason..... My back is my livelihood. IF I can't bend over, I can't work. Sorry if this sounds like a parable, but I guess it is........

You got it right sodbuster.

It's my fault too for not striking while the iron was hot. I'm just 3 months out if an 18 month relationship. Rusty.

Anyway, she rescheduled for tomorrow and when I texted to confirm she put it off to Thursday. I'm free Thursday but I said I was busy, and for the rest of the week. Needed to regain some frame. She's got my number if she wants to meet up.

Way too many flakes. Next her. If she is interested at all it's very very low.
