"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.

Letting someone down easy???

This girl that I hang out with sometimes (have banged a couple times too) sent me this long message this morning. Falsely claiming that I was trying to get her to open up (which I haven't been), and apologizing for showing a lack of affection (which is good by me). She then went on to tell me that she hasn't been open about her feelings because she's afraid of rejection but that she likes me a lot.

Anyway, I'm really not that into her, and at the same time, I don't want to string her along. I suppose I'm going to have to let her down, preferably lightly.

Any ideas on dealing with this. I'm not a fan of hurting people's feelings but think that this needs to be dealt with.
 

"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."

Attraction runs on a clock.

She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.

The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."

One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.

Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.

If you like her company and she's still up for the odd bang, just tell her she's a cool girl but a relationship is not on the cards for you right now. But if she's going a bit emo on you and you don't want to deal with it, cut her loose but do it the way a girl would do it to you.
