"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 get impatient if my GF take a long time before replying my SMS. What would you do if your GF takes a long time (about an hour) to reply to one of your text messages? Act cool like nothing's happened? Reply back after a long time too? Or ask her why she did that?
 

"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.

texting is pretty much for girls. Isolated exceptions aside - there was one guy on here who is hearing impaired and did well communicating via text - you should not be texting back and forth.

because usually we reply each other every 5 minutes or so. 1 hour is too much and it's as if she doesn't respect me.

That's the risk we take when using text message. If they don't reply, we're screwed. Don't go texting her again asking why she didn't reply. What did you say in the last message you sent her?
 

"She's Out of Your League"

You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.

Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.

She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.

Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.

judging by your signature, i predict that you'd reply back to her after an hour also, eh?

Dam right!

"one hour is too long"- thats the most pussified answer I've ever heard in my life.
If your little world revolves around a sms reply for the whole hour, your really just drowning yourself in pathetic ism.

Don't you have something other to do. Sports, studying and hang with some real men?

This thread reeks of AFC behavior.
 

"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.

It's not important to know, really. It could be serious or casual. Some of the reasons she takes a long time to reply are these:

1. She forgot. She's usually sorry for this.
2. She's with her friends. This kinda bug me. It's like her friends are the main priority.
3. We're having an argument. So it's some kind of a silent treatment.

And no, I rarely ask her why she didn't reply. I only ask, "what have you been doing?" or something like that.

Just stop..... this is just hurting my manhood. Stop being such a girl.

1. She forgot - who doesn't? Reminds me I have to reply my mothers text from last month, ****!

2. She's with her friends - Wow, she got a life! Where is yours?

3. We're having an argument - And sms'ing is gonna solve all that?

Since when did replying, sending or receive become any such of priority?

Texting sucks because when they don't reply it pisses you off. Ween yourself off that garbage asap.

Well, in my country text messaging is a widely used way to communicate with a significant other. So yeah, it's hard to stop that habit.
 

"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.

what is your country?
Don't think too much about slow response speed.
You don't have to respond to her texts either if you are busy.

Thats seriously sad. As sad as (i hear) in Arabic countries little boys and girls have to use blue tooth to send messages to each other via Phone when in public places to try and hook up with each other anonymously.

Let me be honest, my sister is expect at text'in friends and family, all i get is texts from her, i don't remember the last time she ever called me. And her friends do it as well.

You know why (be honest here), cause its cheaper then calling. Your all cheap using a cheap method of communication, which is just sad!

I pity you. Do some maths here. for every 6 sms you send you probably could have made a one minute call. Save the 6 (worthless sms's anyway), call her which is far better then some text on a display screen.

You seem to be worried about what she is doing. Are you scared of her cheating on you? That is a bigger problem than any text message. Insecurity is the kiss of death. You have to not worry about what she is doing. Worrying is for women. Let her worry about you. And you have to really not care if she cheats - it's her loss for losing you, and then you simply replace her. But being insecure, jealous, needy and clingy - even though it is an attempt to keep her faithful - is actually the behavior that will make her most likely to cheat. Plus, why does it even matter that she responds? I have been with plenty of women who text another guy while in bed with me. They just leave that part out of the text.

Maybe you text her to death so she gets tired of it. When I get several texts within an hour I don't feel like replying to them all. Not even close.

Limit your texting, reply to hers if you must, but text "convos" are lame, seriously. Only exception is when its flirty.

Reply to hers when its convenient, but if you have something important to talk about (important enough to warrant you being butt-hurt about not getting a prompt reply :rolleyes: ) then *gasp* call her.
 

“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.
