"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.

Hey gentlemen!

I have been reading some discussions here and must say I am very impressed with how thought through your actions are. I was hoping that with a little bit of luck you might share some tips on how a girl can read when she is being played? :confused:

I have been seeing this very intelligent man in his mid 30s (I am late 20s) for a bit less than 2 months. I believe I am a pretty good catch for him and wasn't so interested to start with, however he got me really intrigued and hooked up on him..

We met online, went out a couple of times and it seemed to be full on - he would call every night and we met up maybe 5-6 times at that point, one time didn't go so well though and he went quiet. I figured it was over and called for a closure few days later. To my surprise he was super keen and wanted to see me all the time after. In his words he was just busy but there was definitely space in his life for me (I didn't ask).

The same story happened later - after being on for a week or two he went quiet, I called for a closure nearly a week later and he was really keen again. That evening he initiated a talk:

He said he is in a selfish period of his life when he has to spend most of his time working and figuring out his life so he is not sure he can commit, additionally his last relationship ended badly. As it has not been so long we are in a natural early stage of what could turn out a relationship but is currently casual so either way we need to go through it. He does spend every Saturday with me and I am a girl he wants to wake up with in the morning and we are exclusive, it's just not committed. I didn't say much back.

I can see that he cares, puts in effort, cooks for me, takes me out, shares interests and even compromises on seeing friends..

But! Then he just goes quiet for days (it's been happening more and more) and doesn't plan in advance. Is he playing me?
 

"Nervous Around Beautiful Women? There's a Rule for That"

I could talk to any woman I wasn't attracted to. Charming, funny, relaxed. Then a gorgeous woman looked my way and I'd become a sweating, babbling mess.

The fix took me years to find and ten minutes to learn. Nervousness and excitement are the same physical state — pounding heart, adrenaline, flushed face. Your brain just picks the label. And you can pick a better one.

Rule 16 shows you how. You feel the nerves, relabel them as excitement, and let that energy pour out as enthusiasm. Women notice the guy radiating it. They always do.

maybe he is seeing other women maybe not. either way it sounds like you are ready for exclusivity and he is not. man up and ask him already or dont ask dont tell and take it as it is
Thanks for the response. I did ask whether he was seeing/having sex with anyone else that eve and he assured me that he wasn't, I do believe he's not lying. He did also say before that he doesn't sleep around. Am I naive?

That's why I got confused that it's not committed but seems exclusive. He did however ask if I was ok with this being casual and in my understanding sex focused..

Can something like this grow into anything? And why the heck would he not call or text me for days, I'm not so keen on initiating contact. We haven't spoken since that night/day

Is that because of the commitment talk or poor communication?
For me it's either on or it's not, so if I start seeing other men it's pretty much over in my mind.

from the sounds of it i would say he is at least talking to someone else. if you WERE the only girl in his life he'd prolly be all up ur as$ 24/7 like most AFC's. only time guys are successful at being a natural challenge is when there's other women to woo.

:yes:
 

“The 22 Rules That Flip the Script With Women… And How You Can Use Them Tonight”

Most guys accidentally kill attraction before they even speak. They assume they need a bigger bank account, a better physique, or smoother lines. They miss the point.

Female desire operates on a specific set of psychological triggers.  Break them, and you're invisible. Follow them, and you become magnetic.

I learned this the hard way. Years of freezing up. Getting friend-zoned. Watching other guys walk away with the girl I wanted. Then I discovered a set of 22 simple rules that rewired my entire approach.
