"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.

i met this girl at daytona beach on springbreak, hung out with her once and everything went well. Now that SB is over i wont see her unless we work something out, she lives in a whole nother state but only 4hrs away. we been texting eachother ever since we got home (two texting convos), saying how much we like eachother, sending pictures, ect. and i've initiated the convos. so i decided not to talk to her until she initiated the next one so i can see how interested she is, but its been about 5 days and still nothing. Another thing is she has two friends i can talk to.. i could talk to one of them to get her jealous?? but what opinion would say i do, should i move on, call her, or keep hope?


I also know its hard to maintain or force a relationship so far away, but how do you keep someone on they're toes so far away to see you/want you??


:crazy: :crazy: :crazy: :crazy: :crazy: :crazy: :crazy:


Thanks all for your advice.
 

"I'm Not Looking for Anything Serious Right Now"

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.

listen bud you got to understand something, as romantic as your story sounds, you guys were on a Spring Break, which aside from Las Vegas is the ultimate BREAK FROM REALITY. Now you guys are back to reality and your lives. She's 4 hours away, you guys have probably spent about three days together and your trying to set up long distance jealousy traps. I think she probably likes you too but actions speak louder then words and she is back to her life now. facebook her or whatever and maybe see her down the road, but on a scale of 0-100 you should put a ratio of 1% effort into this. Anymore then that and she'll probably think your desperate and don't have a life of your own. i dated a girl I met on a wild trip that lived states away from me but she showed an equal amount of interest in me as far as comunication goes and it began to build to me going out to see her. Do not put anymore into this then she is. Wait a minute i just noticed you only hung out with her once on that trip......bro...relax

Talk to her friend if you want to talk to her, but don't talk to her to make her jealous. If you do that, you are playing into her hand. What happens if she doesn't talk to you for 10 days instead of 5? Are you then going to sleep with her friend to make her jealous ?

Baby if you give it me, I'll give it to you.

haha no i dont plan on sleeping with her friend. it just seems if i talk to her friend regardless if im trying to make her jealous or not, she would get jealous anyway, ya know? but one thing i forgot to metion is that her n her friends plan on coming up during the summer if that means anything

i just realized that this whole thing is useless and stupid, but i cant stop thinking bout her.. im goin crazy. really.
 

"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"

Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."

You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.

She's been waiting forty minutes.

Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.

well this situation isn't new to me, knew how to handle this situation before coming here, yet i have picked up some knowledge from here. don't listen to don juan11 smiles he obviously doesn't understand the situation. Just follow my advice and if she comes up this summer if its meant to be it will be. If you put all your energy into this ...She wont want to see you when she comes
