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 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.
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.
#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).
You made your case like a lawyer. Stable job. Good guy. Ready for something real. All true. All irrelevant.
She weighed your points, nodded along, felt nothing — then fell hard for some tattooed bartender with a motorcycle and a gambling problem.
Logic is where attraction goes to die. The "22 Rules" work a level deeper, on the subconscious switches that decide within minutes whether you register as a MAN or as part of the furniture.
Stop presenting evidence. Start flipping switches.
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.
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.
