"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.

got to get rid of her.

Well Guys,

After a LTR, I used some of the ideas on this web site to hook a girl I am at college with. I went back to better myself, apparently. Everything worked like a charm, but now she is so far into me it is crazy. I hardened myself after my last LTR, I was such a soft touch, it makes me so mad looking back. I feel like I am falling back into my old ways, which disgusts me. I am all coldish to her on the phone and take ages to return her calls, but as soon as I see her, I am Mr Nicey Nice again. I am going through a lot of turmoil at the moment, so it is cool to have someone to take my mind of that for an evening. But, yesterday she said I realise what you are going through, that maybe we should start over. And dared me that we couldn't keep our clothes on until later this month sometime. I am being such a soft wanker and need someone to give me a kick up the arse.
On the other side, my ex told me I could do a lot better than her. I thought it was a jealous girlie type thing. But, this girl told me that someone else had said that about her when she was with another guy. I really think that is the case and I am lowering my league just to get some attention.

So any feedback would be appreciated.
Cheers.
 

"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."

Attraction runs on a clock.

She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.

The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."

One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.

Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.

You need to date more than one woman. You have an obvious affliction with one-itis. I still fight the AFC urges you mention, but because several women occupy my time, I have started to face my fear of rejection and stand up for myself. I still don't feel 100% comfortable with the DJ me, but my having more than one woman is a major improvement to my dating environment. You'll lose the fear of being alone and start to focus on what you want out of life which is more than just a relationship with one woman. A woman that qualifies should be something really special. The rest occupy your time and should be fun. I have dated some fairly attractive women lately, but none come close to qualifying.

So, you need to get more women in your life. How are you going to do that?

You and I should start a boot camp this weekend and post our results. That will give you and me a needed kick in the arse.

Mr Big,

I think you hit the nail on the head. It is the worry of being alone that makes like this. It is true I need to get out and date more women and just have fun.

I will be up for starting a boot camp this weekend. I am going out on Saturday which will give me a chance to meet lots of new people. So if that day is good for you to start we can start swapping notes.

Cheers
Moonie

Consider this an open invitation to any others interested.

Moonie,
Summer festivals provide a lot of opportunities which should make our camp very productive. I'll post something towards the end of this week to start a new thread. The current mature boot camp thread is overly posted. I love to read detailed field reports. It will be awesome to share our own to learn and develop. Builds confidence and gives you a log of progress.

This is great boost for me Mister Big. I am starting a new work out regime next Monday, so this will give my confidence a work out too. Then everything will start coming together hopefully.
 

"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.

Well, that was very thoughtful of her.

No ulterior motive there, right?

Dr Dope, Hell yea there was an ulterior motive. But, when I hear the same thing about her from someone, that she told me about, then it got me thinking.
