"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 previously wrote the best revenge is to live well thread.

So today I'm helping my brother out and I walk in the house and check my phone. There is a text from my ex whom I haven't heard from in a long time. The text says," Hi. Hope you're good. I wanted to know where you bought my tires at because I'm going to get them rotated today. This is xxxxx by the way."

Back in the AFC days I would have scrambled to reply.

Today is a whole different game.

You see this broad is a receipt queen. She keeps paperwork from things she bought 10 years ago. I know damn good and well she has the paperwork that she needs. I'm convinced that it's an effort to reel me back in to the fray of things. I'm not saying that it's a ploy to get me back. I'll bet that her Valentine's Day wasn't up to the standard that I had set a long time ago. She's looking for that ego boost and I'm not about to give it to her.

My roommate thinks I should send her a message and tell her to kick rocks. My thinking is that I should just ignore it and let it go. I think any response would feed her and I'm not in the business of pleasing her any more. I have learned a lot here.

Any input from you Gents?
 

"I just moved here from Florida."

That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?

She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."

She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.

I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.

Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.

You've already given her too much thought by posting this thread. Just delete the text and ignore her.

Her text was a pretext. Women reconnect exactly like that, They toss up some innocent looking bait and hope that you bite down on it and tug on the line. They always reconnect for some reason which is to their benefit,

SHe probably has nobody to fawn over her and figures that there may stiil be a couple of dollars left in her 'old account' with you .

Ignore it or you might regret it later.

Dear Rick,
Politely send back the Tyre contact number,(only the decent thing to do),then invite her round for a quickie...straight out,no equivocation,the polarisation in behaviour will really throw her....As one never goes back,it will be a laugh,but there is a certain pleasure in knowing you are the top Dog, and of course another phone number could be handy for the next dry patch.
 

"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 agree a little text, got them at Speedy Tire on Fox St.. That is all you write. Says I acknowledge you as a person, shows no emotion, or intent by you to validate her. This way you are saying **** off, I do not care about you without burning a bridge.
