"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.

Currently with a gf that I am not 100% into, just not good at saying no and she asked me out. Sometimes she is fun, mostly just sex and drugs, not the life I want to stay in. Not much in common, gets clingy.

Also recently my ex that drove me to this site has broken up with her BF and seems to be showing interest in me again, but rather just not deal with any relationship **** for a while. I hate feeling obligated to do **** :mad: I want to be able to hang out with whoever I want whenever I want and not feel bad about it.

I think the only thing keeping me from breaking it off with the current one is I really don't want to hurt her, she has done nothing wrong and is into me more than I am into her.
 

"How I Made Sure No Woman Ever Friend-Zoned Me Again"

She calls you when her car breaks down. When she needs help moving. When some guy she's actually dating treats her badly.

You're the listener. The reliable one. The guy who would treat her so much better, if she'd just open her eyes.

She won't. You trained her to see you as the low-effort option — the friend who requires zero risk and zero investment. Every favor dug the hole deeper.

The "22 Rules" break the pattern. You'll stop auditioning for a role she already cast and become the man she chases instead. It starts with Rule 1.

No, there is nothing wrong with wanting to be single. But be single.

And please, don't be with someone just so you won't "hurt them". What do you think you are going to end up doing eventually anyway? I've always hated that as an excuse. It's a cop out.

If you want to be alone, be alone. But don't act like you are trying to spare someone else's feelings. You are just wasting her time. If you don't want to be with her now, what makes you think it'll improve over time?

And learn the value of saying "NO".

Ya, you're right. Dragging it on would make it worse, been on the other side of it. I guess some of it is just me being a ***** and not wanting to deal with breaking it off. Never a easy thing.

Man.... I was just going to start a thread like this today....

Right now I really can't be bothered with women whatsoever.

The next bird I properly date will be a f*cking 10.5 and be so in love with me, she'll basically consent to be my personal slave.

And I agree about staying with someone for the sake of it. The couple of times I've done that, it's turned awkward pretty quickly. Breaking up sucks, but being with someone you don't really want sucks harder.

I've been single for 5 years, and no signs of changing anytime soon.
Single life suits me perfectly.
 

"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.
