"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.

Alright so the story is, this woman is Egyptian and she is about 19 or so. I am her first. She is also my first foreign relationship (so I had no experience with Arab culture, even though I am Muslim myself).

But.. the problem she and I had (I broke up with her) is that (many things actually) she never showed any feelings for me when we were in a relationship, now that I told her we have to break up, she is crying on the phone telling me I can't leave her, that she'll kill herself and me and everyone (I highly doubt she is serious because we say anything when we are desperate).

She is a Muslim / not yet a US citizen (I think she has only been here for 4 years).

I don't think she is malicious but sometimes, I feel sorry for her. And it tears me up, and I desperately need help in getting her to move on from me.

It's hard hearing things like the things she say.

I need help, so please help. I've already told her off. I said "it's over" and I have plans to block her on everything, phone, AIM, facebook, but I fear she might come to my house.
 

"She Laughed All Night. Then She Ghosted You. Here's Why."

Dinner ran three hours. She laughed at everything. You walked her to her car thinking this one's locked in.

Then: nothing. Two texts. No reply. What happened?

You did what most men do on a great date. You filled every silence, answered every question, and left her with nothing to wonder about. No mystery. Nothing to sit with when she got home.

Rule 3 of the "22 Rules" changes the ending: tell her a little, hold back the rest, and let her imagination do the chasing. The ghosting stops too.

Muslim, arab, doesn't have jack to do with anything in this situation.

Put your big boy jeans on and man up. If she comes to your house call the cops on her ass. You know the score, cut all contact. Treat her as a woman would treat a man she is done with, basically stop talking to her and get the cops on her if she keeps coming around. She's just acting like an very bad AFC, they get the memo eventually. You've done all you can do here. good luck.

Thanks. I'll do that that, I cannot believe it's that simple but this situation is making it hard to live and sleep. I get a lot of anxiety.

If anyone has anything that is not thought of please say so. Any help would do, please.

"How I Made Sure No Woman Ever Friend-Zoned Me Again"

She calls you when her car breaks down. When she needs help moving. When some guy she's actually dating treats her badly.

You're the listener. The reliable one. The guy who would treat her so much better, if she'd just open her eyes.

She won't. You trained her to see you as the low-effort option — the friend who requires zero risk and zero investment. Every favor dug the hole deeper.

The "22 Rules" break the pattern. You'll stop auditioning for a role she already cast and become the man she chases instead. It starts with Rule 1.

It sounds like you don't want to hurt her and that's cool, but you have to stop that at some point or it'll drive you nuts. As Captain said, you do not have any obligation to her - you were both consenting adults.

She's young... Maybe she is torn because of her faith too?? Who knows... There's really nothing more you can do to settle her. The best you could do is leave her be and let her start to move on (as it sounds like you're doing).

Do you know any one in immigration who could revoke her green-card? :)
