"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.

Thank you for the support. I couldn't really do this earlier because we were work friends and even though I knew she was enjoying the attention it was a fun way to pass the day flirting with her and did not take her seriously-at least until she kissed me which confused me and gave me false hope and made me start chasing her.

But yeah now we no longer see each other every day at work there is no benefit from being friends and it is purely for her benefit. So that gives me some conviction to keep ignoring her. And while she is acting all confused she knows that the few times we met up since we stopped working together I tried to make a move and she turned me down so knows that I'm not interested in an asexual friendship.
Unfortunately that is all she wants so end of the road. But it has been a good lesson
 

"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"

You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.

Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.

Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.

Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.

Well she’s just going to have to find another sucker because you’ve woken up and moved on. Stick to your guns and ignore her! She will have friends come up to you to ask what’s wrong, you will be tempted to talk to her but don’t! It may not seem like it but you’re doing the best thing you can do. She MAY even text you one last time trying to trick you into thinking she’s thought things over and wants to date you, it’s a lie and a trap don’t fall for it.
