"You Can't Argue a Woman Into Liking You"

You made your case like a lawyer. Stable job. Good guy. Ready for something real. All true. All irrelevant.

She weighed your points, nodded along, felt nothing — then fell hard for some tattooed bartender with a motorcycle and a gambling problem.

Logic is where attraction goes to die. The "22 Rules" work a level deeper, on the subconscious switches that decide within minutes whether you register as a MAN or as part of the furniture.

Stop presenting evidence. Start flipping switches.

It feels weird to be back on the single front.

Context: This girl and I have been talking about hanging out for the last few weeks but she was busy getting ready on a project but told me she would be free after this past weekend.

me: Are you down for some gaming soon? (snipped about gaming)
girl: Oh course! Old school video games always get my attention ;(
girl: Err not ;(
me: I was wondering lol
me: What is your availability like?
girl: I'm usually free evenings and weekends. Sometimes I work days on the weekend but am always done by 3 or 4

me: Lucky. Ha. I'm on my way to work right now but would prefer to be tinkering on projects right now!

me: Sure. I'm busy tomorrow but mid-week I am free. Tuesday evening or Wednesday I could do.

girl: Cool. I'm pretty sure I can do Wednesday. I'll know for sure tonight what my work schedule is like for the week (both RL and troupe life) so will confirm once I know. :)

me: Perfect.

Have not heard back from her just yet. I know that she is a very busy person so I am going to see if she replies back before Wednesday before talking to her again.
 

"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.

Interested.

You responded last so I would leave it up to her to get back to you.

how did this convo take place? phone? f2f? or text? I suspect text.
anyway she is set up to flake, she has already given herself an out.

it really went wrong here..."me: What is your availability like?"
you should have set a date, time, venue, if she was interested she would give you a more definate or positive reponse. her current lack of response shows low interest level

(flaking) Yeah. That's what I figured.

This was over Facebook. I know a lot of people like being single but as I get older, the more I would like some company outside of my friends and events...
 

"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.

I'm 30, turning 31 soon. Just not into the bar/club scene and I guess that is what I hated the most about being single when I was younger.

Got dumped by my Bipolar II ex-gf mid-December. We were together for just over four years but she did all sorts of red flags. After she dumped me, she told me that she had cheated with a guy and that it was all my fault.

My mind has been pretty messed up ever since. I am surprised that I am productive at all. It has improved so I can function a little but I am still floating along, forcing myself to work and to message girls and workout.
