"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"

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.

there's this girl who shows a lot of interest in me and all but she can be rude sometimes and has to have her way. so a week back we were planning to go for a movie. she called me up in the morning to reschedule at last minute and when i was reluctant she started her sh*t about how i can take care of the things later and this and that. her tone was one of "your work isn't priority you can take care of it later".

I wasn't in the mood but still told her ok but im gonna have to rush off after the movie. so she tells me "if you're just gonna rush off after the movie then better don't come". this kinda pissed me off and after 5 seconds of silence i told her ok and disconnected. Didn't respond to her text or received her call. 3 days later her friend cotacts me on blackberry about how i should make things up bla bla bla. i told her i wasn't angry but i don't tolerate rudeness either. It hardly affected coz I wasn't emotionally invested in this chic and I could care less. Still i remained NC with the girl. today morning almost a week later she calls me up from her work place. she tells me she wanted me to stay coz she had a surprise planned for me as i was moving out of the country and that's why she was angry. i told her that's sweet of her however you changed your plans last minute after i cleared my afternoon for you and i don't tolerate the kind of tone you used. anyways long story short we are going out again tommorow night.

the lesson i learned from this entire situation is when you respect yourself and your time more than the girl you're dating/spinning/having a relationship with/are "good friends" with, you will eventually have the upper hand.


fact is i was never interested in a serious thing with her. she's good company but i don't feel chemistry and im still not over my ex. i did not give a damn if this gal felt bad or not coz frankly i didn't care much. i don't think i wud have done the same thing if it was my ex. infact after a few days of NC i might have broken down and contacted her and apologized. and then i realized what was my mistake all along with my ex. i tolerated too much sh*t from my her out of love and fear of not losing her. all this lowered her IL. if i had gone NC at the very first serious fight we had and controlled the AFC within me to remain calm and composed then things might have been great with the one woman I truly love.

Lesson is respect yourself more than anyone and your feelings and time should be your #1 priority. Nothing works more than pure unadulterated indifference. Never believe that self sacrifice is a virtue. Atleast not when it comes to women.
 

"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.

I always thought for us guys, our needs were top priority and we need to look out for number #1 first as always.

we do, but sometimes we lose the frame.

I once lost the frame and ended up reclaiming it with victory in the end.

Sometimes I question why I broke up with her, but my inner voice always reassures me i did the right thing and I know i did.

I understand your pain bro, all too well. That's what happens when you only rely on one girl and don't have many female friends in your circle. I realized that in order to prevent this from happening you need more female friends, they don't have to be attractive just any girl to be friends with is fine, it will also give you experience with girls.

oh I know... (learned about that here a few years back)

I was dating other women near the end. If I hadn't I would have been severely devastated.

As a result the final breakup was not as big a deal as it could have been.

This girl and I had a VERY long history (going on 25 years) so I wasn't just going to be able get her out of my mind immediately..

but I hear and agree with what your telling me.
 

"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.

Indifference IMO should be the number 1 Rule in getting to the girls.
