"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.

How do you remain aloof, and still create an attraction?

My problem is simple...

I really like this one HB. I've known her as an acquaintance for some time, and recently I got to know her more. I would not place myself in the "friends zone", but I am creating something a bit more than "acquaintance".

I found myself chasing her recently, not in the "oh my GOD get AWAY from me!!!" way, but at least in my mind i felt I was.

I think she is still dating her loser BF, so I stopped calling her, and in school for the past couple of weeks, I've been remaining aloof...talking to her when she approaches first, walking away first, ending convo first etc....overall not paying as much attention to her as I was previously. This girl is a major model, so I figured the backing off was the best thing to do.

I have to work with her on a project in school, and I will find out soon if she is still seeing that guy. I am trying to remain aloof in the meantime, but I am finding that when I do, I think I pull back to the point where I am short with her, and not really able to establish an attraction WHILE being aloof...

...is this normal?

Can anyone suggest something that may work a bit better for what I want?

Any advice is appreciated...

;)
 

"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.

umm never been in your situation but i can probably come up with some fair advice, dont be that much aloof, try to make her chase you in a way. if its the project you are working on then make sure she always initiates the meetups, give her the attention any normal person would get from you, when you are together talk about other girls, maybe ask for her "advice", but still add some spicey remarks that she'll know you see her as a potential girl u'd date..
example :
hey that girl i was seeing has the same bra/panties, is that the one with the stripes and.. and.. and

ex2:
my last gf had a boob job, are those real? or did you have those done?

make sure you actually see her bra or panties before though :)

make her feel as if she is missing on the biggest thing there is, and that is you.

Heh, yeah... don't be so aloof that she doesn't know you're interested at some point. I've been doing that for years and it doesn't work so well...

This is all you needed to post. The rest of it is irrelevant. Your problem isn't one of staying "aloof", it's about your options of which you have none if you're devoting, if not all, then the lions share of your effort to one single target. Men with real options who are spinning 3 or more plates at the same time don't have a need to appear "aloof" with any of them; they already have the pre-knowledge that if one isn't meeting his expectations then he has other women who're more than happy to have his attention. This may give the appearance of being "aloof", but that would be superficial and acting the part. What a man with options really has is a kind of subconscious indifference know he's got a better prospect if one doesn't turn out.

Remember, women would rather share a confident Jerk than be tied to a faithful loser.
 

"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.

SET UP:

you have to set up in her eyes through an initial encounter that you are interesting and desirable. you must make an INITIAL INCURSION so that she is aware of you and have become aware of your desirable qualities.

ONLY THEN will withdrawl or aloofness inspire further interest.

if you just remain aloof, you may as well not exist.

this is where i think PLOYS have to be made so that you set up a situation where she can see you at your best, being competent, doing something well, being funny/noble/etc... junior high school stuff....

Every woman knows a guy likes her. You just have to give her reasons to choose you over other men.

The key: show her your lifestyle.

While I was in New York, and friend of mine started dating this beautiful woman, he took her to a friend who owns a Bikram Yoga studio took a class, then to some Improv shows that his friend run, and other things like that.

She was so blown away, not because of what he was saying, but what he was showing her.

She got attracted to him, because to her, he was this wellconnected, friend of the successful (or atleast positive).

Therein lies the secret to women. No tricks, you have to improve your lifestyle. (Although there are some good lines you can use...)

To add something more:

I read in Tommy Lee's book, that he LITERALLY STALKED Pam Anderson. He flew down to Cancun and called her place EVERYDAY. She didn't even pay attention. Then finally the last night, she let him come around, they hooked up and got married that same week.

Crazy huh?

Goes to show that "being aloof" doesn't work. You need to be persistent, but in a UNIQUE and NON-STALKER way. I wouldn't suggest you do what Tommy did, although just goes to show that the RULES don't always apply. Follow your instincts.

Stop thinking so much about being aloof and focus on being interesting.
 

"I'm Not Looking for Anything Serious Right Now"

When a woman says it, guys hear a confession. A heads-up. A scheduling conflict.

Here's the translation: I don't feel anything. Right now. With you.

Watch what happens when a man triggers actual attraction. The busy career, the recent breakup, the "not in a place to date" — all of it evaporates instantly. The same woman who was guarding her freedom is suddenly free every night.

The "22 Rules" explain why. When the right switches flip, her timeline rearranges itself around you.

I agree with you 100%.

Most guys mess up when they TRY being aloof with only one target. When you have multiple options to choose from, being aloof is not an option, it just is. Your other options will keep you busy to point where you just become aloof without realizing it.

My friend told me about his friend who would get hung up on by girls and call them right back. They said they f^cked him just to get him to stop bothering them. Being persistent like that shows a certain type of confidence that is "I'm so confident in myself, I dont care about rejection" Acting aloof just means that you reject them first so they dont reject you.

raise your value(be funny, fun, popular, good with other girls) you only need one
then, neg them when they appear vulnerable
then use a push-pull of aloof-interested while continuing to raise your value
creating triangles is a great way to appear aloof
