"The Kiss of Death Mistake"

You replay the conversation at 2 a.m. She texted back fast yesterday. Today, nothing. Was that smile friendly or flirty? What did the shoulder touch mean?

Every hour you spend decoding her signals drains your confidence and hands her the controls. Women can sense that insecurity from across the room — and it repels them.

One of the "22 Rules" kills the obsession on the spot: assume she likes you, and act accordingly. Sounds too simple. Works anyway.

Her interest tends to rise to meet your expectations. Psychologists call it a self-fulfilling prophecy.

I'll admit it, I know what I really want...

Do any of you guys want a girl that kisses your butt and worships the ground that you walk on? I kind of do.

Now the only times I've had that is when the girl is not attractive to me and stalker like.

And yes long term this as a strategy might not be too great, but after having a very bossy ex gf for a while, the pendulum must swing the other way.

This new girl is kind of awesome, but definitely very independent and doesn't necessarily worship the ground I walk on yet. LOL. She is always happy to see me and hang out with me though.

However I just got off the phone with another new girl who unfortunately lives halfway across the country but might be able to get me a job where she works, etc. She was so fricking happy to hear from me.

So sometimes I wonder what it would be like to have a girl totally wrapped around my finger. I know it would get old, but it would be cool.

At least this new girl I'm going out is willing to drive a ways to see me. My ex would rarely drive to meet me across town. I always had to pick her up.
 

"She's Out of Your League"

You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.

Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.

She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.

Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.

Very good way of framing that.

You are right!

I hate girls that always have to argue about anywhere you choose to go, or what you do.

If you had a girl that kissed your ass, you'd be bored in about a week. Ask me how I know this. Give me a fun girl, with attitude and intelligence and I'm all over it.

Agreed. Give me a woman who's a challenge even if we're in a relationship. You all know that it's the challenge that keeps things interesting if you're a guy, so why not require her to be the same?
 

"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.

I like men who like women who have no problem being led by a strong dominant man etc. etc., but who then goes off every now & then without making ME go with -- I don't care where: Paris, the corner bar, wherever -- because it's GREAT to have my free time. Even if it's just to listen to the silence. Or drink *too much* wine with the girls, or talk for 20 hours on the phone. Every girl I know digs that -- we like it when you come over, and we like it when you leave. Just being honest
