"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.

OK, I was at my little cuties place last night. Tired after a long day, we were cuddling etc. Suddenly (well, it was sudden to me) she starts with comments like:

"What qualities do you look for in a wife?"

There were more questions I don't remember them all. I panic'ed (I always panic when I hear any of the following words: wife, husband, spouse, kids, marriage) and I said something along the lines of "the relationship is moving too fast for me". etc.

She was hurt; and I feel terrible about hurting her (she's a real sweet softie).

Don't know what I'm looking for in this post; mainly just a chance to spill my guts, but if anyone has any comments at all that would be great too.

Thank you,
 

"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.

ouch sounds like she was giving you a subtle test..... basically she was saying " Am I the type of woman you see yourself married to"

I think you weren't fooled by her test but you got caught off guard and instead of making light of the situation, you basically gave her your honest answer.

Hopefully if she is a sweetie, she won't make a big deal out of it. But somewhere soon she may want to "have the talk" and get a stright answer. You dug yourself a little hole, hopefully it won't reach China.

Say "I don't know, I've never been married." Or for God's sake man lie. Yeah I'm young but even I know that the lie is often your best friend.

Just humor her.

"A wife? Well, do you remember your High School ancient histories class?"

*wait for reply*

"Well, the romans had what they called...slaves. I for some reason see myself married to a woman with similar qualities ;)"

Make humor of the conversation, don't ever give anything away for free.

Absolutely agree. Your number one default move to these tests should always be humor. Always turn it around. Role reversals are the easiest to remember and apply.

"Marriage? You haven't even bought me my 18 karat rock for my finger!"

A witty comment will buy you some extra time to come up with something else if she persists.
 

"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.

qualities in a wife, hmm...

a girl that has a 6 figure income,
that has sex more than 5 times a week,
that can climax in less than 4 minutes, and more than once,
that has a higher IQ than her weight,
that can't stay mad for more than 3 minutes,
and will let me have at least 2 other girlfriends.

Anything else you wanna know?

Yeah I had a latino girl for three years (her caving point of waiting for "the question") and she was always testing. Just play into her emotional fantasy about marriage(you know the one all little girls dream of) and when she tests, just C&F her and maybe a few minutes later, do something romantic.DO NOT get all gushy about it (even when you're trying to get that pu$$y!) and blurt out something you'll regret later (she'll remember...believe me). I dont know about you, but the keepers are the ones who dont l pressure the relationship by keeping track of how long it takes before its marriage time and genuinely enjoys sharing the relationship. I would recomend being up front and TELL her what YOU want. Don't do a John Kerry and flip flop.

what do I want from a wife?

well, that's an easy one........

try this:

I want you to love me, comfort me, have sex with me, bear my children, (lots of children), and care for them until they are grown and old enough to fly on their own. Then I kick your sorry old menepausal ass out and get me a younger woman who can bear more children. I'll letcha stick around if you can cook, but if you nag me, just once, I'll shoot ya.....

Dude its not so bad.

We don't know exactly what your relationship is like with this woman, but it seems like you are into her and regret hurting her.

Look its not so bad.

Obviously she digs you.

Its ok to go AFC on her sometimes and have a heart-to-heart.

I think you should do that.
I think you should tell her the truth and how you feel.

You don't have to always bottle up your feelings and spit game at women 100% of the time.

In my opinion, its ok to bend the rules when need arises.

good luck!
 

"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.

Man, joking with a woman about marriage and kids is very, very scary stuff... very dangerous! I would advise against it!

If you love the danger and love extreme sky diving without a parachute, then go for it!
