"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.

Help. Weird situation.

Long story short:

Starting in may I started talking this girl who at
The time was living with her boyfriend, a beta super afc
Guy who would writer her very cringe worthy bad poems
On Facebook, give her flowers etc etc. the definition of a
Beta boy.

After a few weeks she starts cheating on him with me
And in another 2 weeks she leaves him. Moves out to her
Own apartment and starts dating me.

While she is paying rent at her place she never
Actually sleeps there. We had been living together
For 5 months. She took me to meet her family
In her country and we have traveled to other countries.

I have blown her mind in bed and completely dominated
Her in every aspect. I'm not trying to brag but I truly
Showed her what an alpha male is. In looks and confidence
I'm light years ahead of her ex. I'm also pretty
Successful and have basically no need to work
Though I do.

Here is the thing. I could have overplayed the alphaness
A bit. She has been very sweet to me all these months
And even though I felt like opening up
To her more I didn't. I gave her about 20%
Of the compliments she gave me. Acted aloof a lot
And kept busy. Never cheated. I saw potential
For a lot more in the near future but taking into
Consideration what she did to her beta ex I withheld
A lot of my feelings.

Well a week ago she talks to me about space
And being alone for a while. She said she felt she wasn't
Important to me and even thought I could have been cheating.

She said I needed to be more open with my feelings.

Truth is I was getting there. I cared about her
But seeing what happened to her ex and also the fact
That I had just come out of a 7 year marriage really made
Me keep a lot of my emotions inside.

She told me she felt insecure about me. She left.
Picked up her things and left. There were a few tears
From both of us.

Well today I found out what already suspected. She went back to
That poor soul that placed her in a pedestal
And treated her like a princess. I didn't. I was getting there
But needed more time.

I kind of knee this was going to happen when 2 weeks
Ago she tells me her ex removed her from fb because
He had somebody else.

This poor clown even sent a poem to one of her friends
Right after she dumped him and started living with me.

My question is:

How do we reverse all this situation? I like her a lot
And I don't think she is a slut, just a very insecure, confused
Girl. My gut feeling tells me they won't last.

How can this poor guy take her back with a straight face???

Ideas???
 

"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"

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.

Out there
I see user name is useless as usual.

OP, my guess is your problem was calibration: pushed too much with macho stuff and did not build enough rapport, so you're probably not the alpha you think you are. Work on your inner game first.

When she told you to open up she actually sh1t tested you for congruency.

You are keen on thinking she's not a slut, just very insecure. My friend, insecurity and validation seeking are the ingredients that turn a chick into a slut.

Have you considered that perhaps she hooked up with her ex before giving you the talk? I think you should, looks like that's her modus operandi.

Just remember exes are exes for a reason. You'll be better off starting fresh with somebody else. And this time calibrate.

You should have been more hot and cold. Alternating more.
You don't need to be clingy and needy, and write her poems, and have long conversations about how much you're soulmates, just do stuff once in a while that shows her she's special. 5 months is a lot, you should have given her something more. Here's your problem:
http://www.manualformen.net/chapter3-1
"Was the man subdued?"
Not at all -> End of relationship.
Completely -> That's her ex.

There's no hope now. Move on. You won't have trouble finding someone much better, that likes you much more, that you like much more.

Hot and cold...

And of course, this: http://therationalmale.com/2012/09/14/amused-mastery/
 

"Nervous Around Beautiful Women? There's a Rule for That"

I could talk to any woman I wasn't attracted to. Charming, funny, relaxed. Then a gorgeous woman looked my way and I'd become a sweating, babbling mess.

The fix took me years to find and ten minutes to learn. Nervousness and excitement are the same physical state — pounding heart, adrenaline, flushed face. Your brain just picks the label. And you can pick a better one.

Rule 16 shows you how. You feel the nerves, relabel them as excitement, and let that energy pour out as enthusiasm. Women notice the guy radiating it. They always do.

I understand everything posted. Thanks.

I could move on but I feel is not too late.

He was dumped for a reason. And I feel she
Still cares about me. She felt I was never too
Available and panicked once she found out the other guy
Was dating again.

I'd like her to realize her mistake and return.
I would bring down the alpha **** a lot this time.

I just didn't have enough time to start bringing down
My defenses.

It's like a love story gone wrong.

The bottom line is - you shouldn't be fvcking around with someone else's girl. Her leaving you to get back with him shows how "alpha" you really are. How he was with her, and whether or not he is an "afc" or not doesn't give you the right to screw him over. Seriously, I hope you cried like a little girl, and I hope it does hurt. Go find your own women. I know of two men that have taken their lives over this sh1t. I just can't sympathise with you.

People are on this forum to help one on other, not sh1t on each other. If men looked out for each other more and stopped acting so desperate with women the whole dating game would be so much easier.

This is exactly why you leave girls with bf's the hell alone and move on. You are now in HIS shoes when she ran off with you. Basically it's your turn now. Sucks, doesn't it? Now you know how that poor sap felt. You should of expected this behavior from her and anticipated it, actually.
There are numerous posts here that tell of girls that cheated will only end up cheating on you, it's a classic text book case. And the crazy part is that the AFC still ended up getting the girl in the end! You could of been perfect in all your actions, but he truth is that her ex was simply on the back burner the whole time. Once again, classic behavior.

Your best bet is to leave the situation alone. You had yor fun, now just move on.

I only knew about the bf after we had started dating.

I'm hurting. Yes. But the fact is she wasnt happy with him.
And I'm willing to bet she can't be happy now either.
 

"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.

Don't confuse the man with your lame theories.

All he needs to know is:

Girl + Boyfriend = Trouble. Stay away.

I can let her go knowing that her thing with her ex
Won't last but honestly, I did care about her.

She is not in love with him. Can't be after
All the things she did. I wish I had shown her
More rapport/love but I usually don't open up
That fast.

Great. Move on. So many other women. So many. In some months you'll be laughing at this whole story.
Stop crying.
Draw a line on a piece of paper. On one end it's your birth, on the other it's your death. Mark where you are now, look at all the women or all the quality of women you can have, and she how ridiculous it is that you are crying over this one.
I mean it. A pencil and a paper. Draw the fvcking line.

I understand that.

I'm getting. Ready for the rebound which I'm sure is coming.

My instinct tells me what to do but my emotions
Tell me other wise.

What would the best way would be here to get her
Back and rectify my mistakes?
 

"She Laughed All Night. Then She Ghosted You. Here's Why."

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.

If u care so much about this girl.....I feel sorry for u when and if u get married, have kids by the woman, pay the bills, and she disappoints u in some way. Such an emotional investment over such little. Put ur "feelings" in perspective....if ur the sensitive, caring soul type, go volunteer as a big brother to some kid in need and release that type of energy. Women are cut throat creatures. That's it I'm done.

This is the only mistake that needs rectifying.

Not to say that you shouldn't care for people, but there's 'caring' for people and there's looking out for your own interests. Your case falls in the latter I think.

Next her. For two reasons:

1) Your sanity
2) If she wants you then she will come to this conclusion by herself and not by any PUA tactics or manipulation (even though 'nexting' is a tactic and a form of manipulation. lol).

He brags about shwooping a chick with a boyfriend then gets upset when she does the same thing to him..

Shes a cheating ho. She will never change. Should have got rid of her after a few weeks to teach her a valuable lesson.
 

"I just moved here from Florida."

That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?

She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."

She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.

I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.

Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.
