"You Can't Argue a Woman Into Liking You"

You made your case like a lawyer. Stable job. Good guy. Ready for something real. All true. All irrelevant.

She weighed your points, nodded along, felt nothing — then fell hard for some tattooed bartender with a motorcycle and a gambling problem.

Logic is where attraction goes to die. The "22 Rules" work a level deeper, on the subconscious switches that decide within minutes whether you register as a MAN or as part of the furniture.

Stop presenting evidence. Start flipping switches.

If you want an ex-girlfriend back, then do no contact. If she calls, act completely happy and unaffected, and don't stay on long.

This is the only thing I have to contribute to this forum right now, but I have become a master of this one thing.

I've broken up with this girl 6 times (she likes to play games), and each time, she thinks that I'm going to fall to pieces, but I just ignore her. This last time, she told me as we were breaking up, "So you don't think I can do without you? I can live without you!" I laughed and said, "Well good, you'll have a lot of time to practice then." And I walked away.

Couple days later, she called me, apologizing dramatically for some things she had said, but assuring me, "It's over."

I said, "Yeah, whatever. I'm hungry. I'm gonna get something to eat . Bye"

So then a couple nights ago, she calls me, and she's crying, and she says she doesn't know what she was saying that night. She was crazy, she said. She doesn't even remember what she said (which is complete BS, but whatever).

So I said we'll talk about it later sometime.

So now I'm debating what to do. Part of me knows she's addicted to drama and games and it'd be best to let her go, but another part of me wants to see how many breakups I can rack up. I wonder what the record is.....
 

"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.

Thats all you need to know.

However, if you continue to play your part on this roller coaster you are equally responsible for keeping the drama alive.

I let her go. She was surprised. I told her we could still be friends, LOL.

I have a date for this weekend, so I'll see how that goes (with another girl of course).
 

"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"

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.
