Why "Whatever You Want" Keeps You Single

She says the movie looks dumb; you suddenly agree. She tests you with a little attitude; you apologize for nothing.

You think you're being easy to get along with. She reads something else entirely: a man with no edges. Nothing to hold on to. No friction, no tension, no reason to wonder what he really thinks.

The "22 Rules" taught me to push back — playfully, calmly, without needing her approval. Strange things happened after that.

How do you guys fade away from chicks your no longer interested in?

I kind of woke up, no longer interested in one of my plates. She expects things with nothing to offer herself, I have no ounce of interest in this girl. I feel like just dropping out the scene would be rude, I still want to be a gentleman about things, so how do I go about vanishing, do I just piece by piece fade away?
 

"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'm in a similar situation after this weekend. Just lost interest in one of my plates after learning something about her. I will stop initiating contact. If she texts, you don't have to ignore her just don't text a lot, don't ask her out, and don't meet up with her.

She will get the point.

Your looking at this from the wrong perspective. You feel it would be rude to just simply drop her, because you will feel somewhat guilty.

What you need to realize is whether you gradually drop her or simply go NC she is going to think poorly of you no matter what, at least until she's over it.

If you have absolutely zero interest in her, it shouldn't matter.

And in case your wondering, I would just go straight NC.

"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.

When I lose interest in a plate I just stop talking to her (NC). My time is valuable after all.

Some of them don't take it very well.. which just makes me lose even more interest... ironically.

You can't be a true DJ if you're afraid of hurting people's feelings or being seen in a negative light by some. Just deal with it. Everyone isn't going to like you. Some girls will flip on you. I've had it happen a few times.

We all have girls who hate us.. but I'd rather have a woman point at me and say: "That guys is a douche bag and I hate him" than for a woman to point at me and say: "That guy is a weak faggot, and I don't respect him." :yes:

Going NC works, of course

But if you want to me a gentleman about it then if she ever asks why you've been distant lately, just lay it on the line and tell her flat-out that you aren't interested

In the past when a girl has cut off contact with me it's such a ****ty feeling, it's not that I can't deal with her losing interest but not having closure sucks. so I don't like to do that to people.

I don't like doing NC for women who are into me. I think it's kind of mean. I tend to "fade away" as the OP mentions. See her less, less sex, etc. If you really don't want to see her again ever, I think a quick talk is reasonable. "Just not that into you anymore, etc."

Imagine if your employer fired you by simply locking the door one day and refusing to let you in ever again. No talk, no warning, just refusing to deal with you. You'd be pretty p*ssed off.

I've found that there are enough women on the planet who hate me. No need to purposely create more.

Danger said:
Victory Unlimited had a post about a "staggered retreat". I think it is warranted with women who display higher interest but you don't want to burn any bridges with them.

If you do a search, maybe you can find it.
Exactly and sometimes the woman may not offer something today but given time she may offer you more, VC's "staggered retreat" works well to not burn bridges and you can meet the woman later on while you pursue other options and she works things out and decides to become more interesting/ offer more.

Having said that I've used VC's method a few times and only once did a woman actually change for the better and become a good prospect and even that only lasted a year.

The only problem I have with women "changing for the better" is that there was a reason why I nexted, NC, or LJBF them in the first place. That reason usually returns at some point. Although if I can FB them easily it might be worth it.
 

"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"

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.

Women get this. I have a class with a girl every Monday night. We went out on one date and I never asked her out again. She doesn't hold a grudge and we are civil to each other. At first she chased a bit but she got the point. Like bradd80 said, women have it easier because they are getting hit on constantly, so she can go out with someone else almost immediately.

I had to cut off my summer fling last fall.

I would not immediately return texts, i kept them short. Then I just stopped replying. After 2 more "how's your day?" from her without responding, I never heard from again.
