"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.

I get everything here. I can't go no contact. I pick her up and drop her off everyday, and I'm her boss.
 

"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.

bro she wasn't groming you for ****. she was using you for favors and probably reduced rent.

the alcoholism and her being torn is your own mind trying to ratoinalize what you want to see. it's not happening.

"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.

Thanks for that. Really. I know my alcoholism is not her fault. I also know she sure as hell ain't helping... I fell into a trap. I think that she broke me and you're right. I appreciate the posts, flames and all. She's getting fat anyway.

In what capacity are you her boss? Manager at a retail store? Uown a company and employ her? Tread lightly an be smart. Play this out smooth.

Uve done right by just playing it cool. If i were u i wpuld say "look, i dont want to interfere with your relationship or be a third wheel..its just not fair to anyone, i think its best of you stay with him full time but hey we are friends so feel free to hit me up whenever."

Be genuine about that when u tell her, dont do it like a bitter lil bish.

U need to detach yourself from her emotionally. Unless u enjoy being a beta male cuck.

Julian. I am her boss at a picture framing and art gallery place. Real artsy crap type ****. I have stayed cool. It's difficult for me to detach emotionally but I'm getting there. She has no idea that this is how I am feeling. That's why I posted here. I would kill myself rather than say ANYTHING that indicates this bothers me.

The above advice about my addiction is right but... I am not connecting the two. True, I was a raging alcoholic and I know that. Julian, your advice is what I'm doing and I thank you for adding the third wheel ****. She really want's us to all HANG OUT ALL THE TIME. **** that. May I say this? I failed her and she waited seven years for me. I think the reason I'm so ****ed up is because of my ego. You all talk about Alpha Men and what not and tell me to man up. Not you personally but this board in general.

I WAS/AM getting better. I think the advice of telling me to man up means to set boundaries. I agree. I don't know how this happened. Well, I mainly let it because all of my problems with woman were I couldn't stand how INTO me they got. IN other words, I was NEVER like this and no one I know cares about this because I don't tell them.

I don't bother with labels like "Alpha", etc. but they have their use. To be honest, I don't know many people more Alpha then I am. I told you I own an artsy fag business. I have also been in two branches of the Military, been a Boxer, a Black Belt, Advanced Deep Sea Diver, Investor in various businesses. I know it's the internet and all that ****. I own an amazing house, drive the fastest ****ing car... I have dumped 20 plus chicks over my life. Hmmm, perhaps it's a personal problem. YES, I showed her weakness, I showed her... ****.

You know what kills me, all of these things are good but... being an ******* is what made her leave me. SO So Suave, be my Therapist because the last one just she loved me. Well, SHE MOVED THE **** OUT!!!
