"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.

Hey, my ex dumped me a month ago because I wasn't showing any "emotional affection" for her and she felt I was only w/ her for sex.

By the time I was able to appreciate her as a gf, it was too late and she ended it with me...and said she would never take me back.

At that point, we're stall talking as friends and then she gets back with her ex from 2 years ago. They go out for 2 weeks and she breaks up with him. While they were going out, I was interfering and she said he would get jealous because she still had feelings for me.

A week later, she starts showing feelings for me again, inviting me to places, and offering to bake me my favorite cookies, etc. But, I was over her for the most part so I brushed it off. She would call me and leave me sweet voice mails, and then I started liking her again and called her just as much. Then I began calling her more...1-2 times a day or talk to her on AIM.

She began giving me sexual signals...overboard sexual signals that she wanted to hookup and be **** buddies. She lead me on. We meet up one night and makeout, but she stops me and tells me she can't do it again. But I still keep calling her...we get into an argument about her leading me on and we haven't talked since.

(She's going through emotional issues right now because she has a hormone problem and recently found out she has to get her ovaries removed this summer - she's dealing with hard stuff so the leading me on part was a result of the hormone imbalance).

I felt bad, and after reflecting realized that the whole time she wanted me there to support her...she trusted me and I broke it by showing that I only wanted her for sex which was a misunderstanding. So I called her two days later and she didn't pickup...I called her later that day - she picked up and I apologized for pushing sex on her and told her I'd be there for her no matter what. She told me it meant a lot to her and that she'd call me back when she got home.

She never did...so the next day I called her cell - voicemail. I called her hours later and voicemail again.

I msg her best friend on AIM that night to ask where my ex is and she tells me to lay off calling her because its becoming "stalkerish"...she says I'm calling too much and its scaring my ex away. (this was wednesday)

Its now Friday and we haven't made any contact since.

I miss her and want to let her know that I'm sorry for everything and want things to be back to normal again...

But I'm afraid if I call her or e-mail her it won't give her space and make her hate me more...and think I'm even more stalkerish.

She hasn't been on AIM since Sunday...and she hasn't blocked me because I checked with another screen name. I don't know what's going on. I would think she would get over it by now.

I can't get over her...I've been trying to occupy my focus elsewhere and it keeps coming back to her. WHAT SHOULD I DO?
 

"Nervous Around Beautiful Women? There's a Rule for That"

I could talk to any woman I wasn't attracted to. Charming, funny, relaxed. Then a gorgeous woman looked my way and I'd become a sweating, babbling mess.

The fix took me years to find and ten minutes to learn. Nervousness and excitement are the same physical state — pounding heart, adrenaline, flushed face. Your brain just picks the label. And you can pick a better one.

Rule 16 shows you how. You feel the nerves, relabel them as excitement, and let that energy pour out as enthusiasm. Women notice the guy radiating it. They always do.

Stalker!

Man if you do that, at least say "I have two screen names that sign on at once... couldn't but help notice that she wasn't on either name... so I'm guessing she didn't block me."

What should you do?
Don't do anything, just do what you normally do, and FEEL THE PAIN! Just do what you do, going out with another chick WILL NOT help you immediately. All that will do is that you will try making that relationship like your old relationship with your ex... then it will say how much no other girl is as good as your ex.

But if the date with another chick goes good, it still doesn't mean you're over your ex. One day it'll come around back to you.

Just do what you do, and let things handle naturally as they come.

Yeah she has these medical issues.

I've been hanging out w/ my buddies a lot more lately and rowing starts soon so I'll be putting more time into that.

I just have different moods at times...one moment I'll be upset about this, but moments later I'll be over it and jolly.

I'm gonna let things come naturally...if she calls i'll deal w/ that, if she doesn't, not a problem. I'm gonna start talking to more girls and start making more "girl" friends because I have mainly guy friends.

She is crazy...I don't think she can help it either. When she's on her meds to balance out her hormones she is fine, but when she's off of them she gets moodswings up the wazzoo. The good thing is, she never contacted me when she was in the downmood.

She is probably wondering why I haven't tried contacting her because all other times one of us ended up calling each other after a day or 2 after the argument.

But then again, she thinks I'm a stalker lol.
 

"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.
