What would actually make you feel good altogether? Is it just a little interaction or none at all?Fela Kuti said:strangely, i'll feel better.
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.

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.
none at all. they could still have a friendship, of course. but no more "dates".Francisco d'Anconia said:What would actually make you feel good altogether? Is it just a little interaction or none at all?
If your gf is doing something to purposely annoy you, then your relationship with her has some problems. She knows it bothers you, but she still goes out with him on dates. That doesn't sound like a girl who gets weak knees when thinking about you.Fela Kuti said:none at all. they could still have a friendship, of course. but no more "dates".
The truth is, she probably doesn't know that I'm bothered with what she does. I never straight up tell her that it bothers me if she hangs out with that guy. I only said, she can do it with moderation (not too often). The reason is that I don't want to be a controlling BF. But if I could choose freely, then yes, I prefer she doesn't hang out with him anymore.DonJuan11 said:If your gf is doing something to purposely annoy you, then your relationship with her has some problems.

The guy is doing nothing wrong.
Alright, I thought that was what you were getting at. Personally I think is seems reasonable. Like I said earlier, I'd ask her why it doesn't seem strange to her that although she has a relationship with you she's going out on dates with two men. She'll rationalize it that he's just a old friend but if the two of you weren't in a relationship, it would look like that they were in a relationship to all the world. Just go to her and deal with it. Besides, if he were truly her friend, he'd agree; but that's for her to work out.Fela Kuti said:none at all. they could still have a friendship, of course. but no more "dates".
She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.
Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.
The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.

She cheated her past BF for me. So there..young_gun said:Fela Kuti, do you TRUST your girlfriend? It seems to me like you don't.
Forget the cash, the cars, and the chiseled jawlines. Female desire operates on a completely different frequency. Primal. Subconscious. Triggers that bypass her logic and hit her on a gut level. Most guys are totally blind to them.
I know because I was one of them. The overthinking. The paralysis. The silent drive home kicking yourself for freezing up. Watching average guys walk away with the girl while you stood there stuck in your own head.
Then I decoded the psychology behind what actually makes women tick. 22 hard rules. Subtle behavioral shifts that rewired my entire reality. The anxiety evaporated. Women started leaning in. Investing. Chasing.
holy **** man get the **** out of dodge. i was where you were with that. you never trust them becuase you know how you two met. walk awayFela Kuti said:She cheated her past BF for me. So there..
Yep just like my ex and also your girl if I remember correctly is also a passive aggressive so she likely has the whole phony sweetness and harmless act down tight.Fela Kuti said:She cheated her past BF for me. So there..
EXACTLY!! This is great advice.Danger said:3) Realize that the only solution to this is in yourself. You need to be comfortable with the fact that your gf/wife/fb will always be attracted to other men. If you want to keep her, you have to be the better man. So get out there, improve your life for you, increase your confidence, and always make yourself a better person. Then, only a foolish woman would want to risk losing you, and who wants a foolish woman?
