I'm sorry that this doesn't fit in with your negative world view of women but I can't help that.klein said:Yah. No way that could have been calculated. Maybe you are a troll.
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.

She calls you when her car breaks down. When she needs help moving. When some guy she's actually dating treats her badly.
You're the listener. The reliable one. The guy who would treat her so much better, if she'd just open her eyes.
She won't. You trained her to see you as the low-effort option — the friend who requires zero risk and zero investment. Every favor dug the hole deeper.
The "22 Rules" break the pattern. You'll stop auditioning for a role she already cast and become the man she chases instead. It starts with Rule 1.
Doesn't add up. What girl doesn't check her phone for an hour and a half, and then upon noticing not realize you were obviously there the whole time. In her mind it would be pretty far fetched for you to somehow not notice (or even hear) a call on your phone going on for an hour and a half.Reservoir Dog said:Anyway, I keep listening but I stop answering and she thinks I've hung up. And so she must think our phones are disconnected because I listen for the next hour and a half whilst her phone is still switched on.
She has two phones. The one she called me from was her work one. I have been thinking that she did leave her phone connected on purpose. She certainly did go on about me almost constantly. But seriously, just how f@cked up would she have to be if that were true? Why go to all that trouble just to cover up a lie? Unless she's a compulsive liar. Or a chronic game player.Yewki said:Doesn't add up. What girl doesn't check her phone for an hour and a half, and then upon noticing not realize you were obviously there the whole time.

I would have been furiousReservoir Dog said:my gfriend was in the kitchen on the phone. She has another phone which she left on the bed. I decided to go through it and the first convo was with a guy who was asking if she was single and she told him she was and that she didn't have time for a man and asked him if he was single to which he said yes and she asked him why he was still single yo which he said cos I want you to which she lol'd.
The last message was from her to him saying I need to see you. When I confronted her with them she reasoned that he was a cousins friend or something, that there had been something and then she said there wasn't. She said she wasn't interested in him though he was interested in her and that he was just joker. Anyway I decided to believe her as the convo wasn't sexual or anything nor were any kisses blown by her to him. She says she loves me and only me and only has eyes for me. I believe her. What do you think?
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.
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.
Suspens said:She needed closure. Now she will gradually disappear.
Lol. Well then that's a different story .Reservoir Dog said:Apparently she needed my c0ck but I can deal with closure.
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.
