"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"

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.

When woman use words like "its different" and "not that kind of love" its a hint that she doesn't want to be in a relationship with you.

Not all is lost. Women tend to think with their emotions. What you need to do is slowly phase her out of your life and start dating other women. If she still loves you then it will rear its ugly head when she realises that there is a good chance you will leave her for good in favour of another woman. If she fails to step up to the plate then know its time to move on (seeing other women will actually help you as well since you will rediscover what great sex is all about and maybe you wouldn't really want her back.)

"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.

Been there man...Pretty much all the same things you are going through. You're best bet is just move on. Here's a list of all the things helped me, some that I waited way to long to start.

-Find other girls (as soon as possible)
-Cut contact with her (It will make you feel miserable every time you talk to her)
-Realize that you probably got needy/turned into a chump/became dependent on her somewhere down the line, and take it as a learning experience.
-Spend more time with friends/less time alone thinking.
-Stop thinking about sleeping with her again. LOL I did this SAME thing. It's a catch 22 because she might sleep with you again, but only once you've totally moved on, and if you still have a 'goal' of sleeping with her 1 last time you never move on. It's part of the 'bargaining' phase with yourself. You think "well she won't get back with her, but maybe I can be intimate with her one last time" You are HURTING YOURSELF by not moving on COMPLETELY. Trust me...
-Think about all the boring times when you were together and how at those times you wished you weren't 'tied down.'

Rejoice! You are now free to play the game again, and what a fun game it is.

thanks for the advice dudes. you're right. i just gotta stop being dependent to her.

I gotta move on. that's the only chance to possibly get her back. and if i don't get her back, at least I've moved on.

i'll call this girl up who i number-closed last night. she's cute. but probably just a 6.5 or 7.
but that's allright with starters. a hb10 would be toooo much work right now, lol

thanks

LOL I know it's easier to think like that. Don't. Make 'get her back' not part of your vocabulary.
 

"How I Made Sure No Woman Ever Friend-Zoned Me Again"

She calls you when her car breaks down. When she needs help moving. When some guy she's actually dating treats her badly.

You're the listener. The reliable one. The guy who would treat her so much better, if she'd just open her eyes.

She won't. You trained her to see you as the low-effort option — the friend who requires zero risk and zero investment. Every favor dug the hole deeper.

The "22 Rules" break the pattern. You'll stop auditioning for a role she already cast and become the man she chases instead. It starts with Rule 1.

I understand how this must hurt and you shouldn't feel like any less of a man for that. But I've been reading the advice here and it's good. What you want is your old relationship back, when it was exciting and there was sexual attraction. Even if you got her back, you'd probably rediscover all the things that were wrong.

Everything changes and you have to stop clinging and let go. Any attempt to get her back will seem like desperation tactics. It will drive her further away and keep you trapped in your depression.

Sorry, but that is the truth. We've all been there and that's why we give you this advice.

Try looking at all the positives now: you're single and you have more freedom. You have more time to do things you didn't get to do before, you can have days where you chill out and play computer games or nights you can socialise with friends and go on the pull. What's more, you get to meet and date other women now and have the possibility of sex. There are a lot of benefits facing you!

Every single word of your advice is right. i'd probably give exactly the same advice to a friend of mine in that situation.

but when it's you, emotions mess up your thinking and acting.

thanks again.

Set up a meeting with her and tell her exactly how you feel and the reason why you broke up with her. Don't hold back, even if it makes you cry.

Open up to her and ask her to do the same.

Good luck!

and then the two of you can run down to the store buy some maxi-pads, do your nails and talk about cramps and chocolate.

i already set up a meeting. i told her how i feel. she told me her love has changed. it makes no sense. i keep my pride though. i don't need to break down in front of her. i don't want her sympathy. i want her to love me. that's not gonna happen, so i gotta let go.

but thanks for trying to help.
 

"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.
