You should start testing to see if shes using a system. Where our **** is just make yourself super confident and don't play games they are pure strategy.
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.
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.
#Recon said:I'd really like to air my views but as Ease stated earlier I'm just going to come off as needy.
I think this is something my mother would say if i asked her about my relationship problems. Unfortunately, my mother is not a DJ.Airing your concerns and being needy are two entirely different things. Bottling up your concerns is not option. As I have said try rekindling things, if that doesn't seem to have the right effect, then discuss matters with her (note: not confront, but discuss).
Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.
You've been "getting ready" for two years.
She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.
Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.
I do. It was YOU.Recon said:I have no idea what sparked this ridiculous change in the relationship
Igetit! said:So it's over? Hmm.
And I suppose she never gave you a reason why.
Women don't just break up on a whim like that. There were probably little signs and clues along the way,like a decline in sex,her coming up with excuse after excuse for not being able to spend time with you.
So you were at home,minding your own business,then out of the blue...bam,you get a text from her saying she wanted to break up.
That sucks dude.
Yeah,go ahead and follow the instructions from the "No Contact" challenge.
That's good info on how to handle a breakup.
(I posted this in your this thread because I didn't want to derail the purpose of the "just got dumped guide".
TC there's a lot of good advice in this thread, but I 100% agree with this. Women are emotional creatures, don't try to throw in logic in an emotional situation. I suggest you do exactly what one guy suggested, cut off contact and don't give in. Let her do some work. If she doesn't, you have to move on, it may be very hard to do so, but you have to do it for yourself and your peace of mind.Igetit! said:Well whatever you do,DON'T CONFRONT HER.
Seems to me like you're upset or angry over a lack of emotion from her.
Confronting her will do no good. Her indifference isn't caused by NOT BEING confronted,so confronting her won't suddenly make her "care" or seem excited about seeing or hanging out with you.
In fact,she may feel unfairly attacked. Emotions aren't cut on or off by the flick of a switch.
It's not like you'll confront her,then afterwards she's going to go,"Ok,you win. I won't be indifferent anymore. So HEY!!! How was your day? I've missed you soooo much! Would I like to go to the park? That's a GREAT idea! Yeah,of course I would! I just miss you so much,and think about you all the time".
Doesn't work that way.
Confrontations can solve problems,but won't fix emotions.
In order to turn this thing about,you'd have to change SOMETHING IN YOURSELF first.
I don't know what that is,however,if the way she's behaving now is different from the way she was behaving when you first met her,that means YOU SCREWED UP somewhere.
Of that,I'm 100% certain.
Check out this thread. You don't have to read the whole thing,just skip down to reply #14.
That should help you get a better understanding of what's going on with your relationship.
She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.
Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.
The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.
