This current girl I been on 2 dates with has gone cold and I duno why. Last time I called her she was talking about how if I was lucky she'd invite me to join her and her hot gf.. I didn't think anything of it at time and thought she meant to go out but she meant 3some. Then 2days later I text her to touch base and she mentioned the invite to join them but I still thought she meant to go out, so I told her jokingly that if it was a 3some I'd accept but if it was to go out I'd have to decline, she text me back that she meant a 3some. Now this where I made fatal error cos I became overkeen by the prospect of this so I told her that I thought our 1st time would be just us 2(just in case she was testing me) then she responded back about her friend not being sure about it. I go to her to let me know and I'd stay up late for this event and hope it won't go to waste. So I tell text her last night that I hope se wasn't having too much fun without me around midnight. I shouldn't have done this cos I already made it clear that shek'd contact
"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.
is it over?

"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"
You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.
For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.
Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.
The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.
Me if its on, and already told her day before that I'd be staying up. She text me back that she was having a good time at a club. Then I text her back to call me if I was invited for the 'after' party and I'd be ready and waiting. I already said this day before I musta been coming across too desperate and keen for the 3sonme. Anyway I tried calling her this afternoon at 2.30pn she didn't pick up I duno if cos she thought I'd be calling abt her non call last night with the 3some thing. I proceeded to text her 45mins later saying what time we're meeting up tonight and we'd go into town(just so she didn't think I was looking for just sex) she hasn't replied. Earlier in week when we talked she mentioned she'd be out with her gf either fri or sat this week so couldn't give me yes or no but whichever night she was out she'd be out with me the other night. Is it over? I feel fact she didn't give me firm time is cos her gf had 1st priority over me so she got to choose which night out. Did I dlv myself too much?
She's serious about the girl on girl thing but whether the 3some is serious offer is p1ssing me of, she called me and I f'd up cos I didn't ask the question 'so when are me and u meeting up tonight?' But instead asked 'are u going out tonight?' Then went onto say ki haven't confirmed for my plans tonight so..' I realise it looks like I'm waiting around for her to decide. Then she goes 'well let me call u after dinner cos me and my friend may come by' instead of me questioning it I just go 'ok'. Now ikm p1ssed cos earlier in week the arrangement was that if I am not seeing her fri I'll see her sat or vice versa. So she's not sticking to our arrangement. If I text her now 'also from what I remember our arrangement was that if u were out fri then we'd meet sat or vice versa, so now you're officially on probation until further notice' is this really going to win back some respect cos I feel she's treating me as if I'll come at her beck and call?

You know what to do and what not to do, but you do things that you know are wrong. Don't be overeager, and for god sakes make it seem like you have a life of your own and actually do things other than sit around waiting to hear back from her.
"Why Women Dump the Guys Who Try the Hardest"
You paid for dinner. You drove. You said "whatever you want is fine" every single time. All the effort, no expectations.
And she left anyway — probably for a guy who makes her pick up the pizza.
Painful. Also predictable. Her mind quietly concludes that anything requiring zero effort from her is worth exactly zero. You became a free sample, and free samples get taken for granted.
The 22 Rules flip the dynamic. Small shifts that get her investing effort, money, and time in you — until SHE'S the one afraid of losing YOU.
