"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"

She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.

Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.

The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.

Hi this is my 2nd thread here. i really liked the advice the people here gives, so i would like to hear what the people here have to say about this situation.

i know the golden rule, dont judge a women by her words...

but i also know, when a woman says "i dont want a relationship", it means she really doesnt want one.

So, what does...

"Me? Your girl? No way."

mean?

NO, i did not ask her to be my girlfriend. i was just teasing and calling her my girl outta fun, thats what she replied. Which got me thinking cos why would a girl whos interested say that when she knows very well im joking? Unless of course, she doesnt want me to get the wrong idea...?

more info about this girl:
-i see her almost everyday in college
-loves contacting me first on IM and text
-im pretty sure im not in her friendzone
-me: but we are good friends! her: please, we arent even friends
-we went out once recently. She dropped no hints of a second date, but she continued contacting me anyway, sometimes even to chat.
-same girl as the one in my first post! :)
-she has a history of liking to play hard to get
-her hobbies includes ignoring me when i talk to her, and finding a mutual friend to join our conversation everytime i managed to find her alone and talk to her (!)

Last but no least...
-She loves saying/doing things she knows i do not like. And she takes pride in it

Example:
me: dont talk to me about other guys. The only guy you can talk about and lust over is me
*after 5 minutes*
her: oh look at that basketball jock hes so hot!!!
me: what did i just say?
her: i know. i just wanna piss you off *smiles at me*
 

"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.

Uhhh.......CORRECTION....


When a girl says,"I don't want a relationship",she doesn't mean she doesn't want a relationship. What she means is....

she doesn't want a relationship.......with YOU



I guarantee you....if a guy came along who was handsome,who sexually turned her on,and who stirred her emotions (and she was single),she'd be BEGGING for a relationship with him.


If she actually took the time to say that to you,then more than likely,somewhere along the line of you dealing with her,you slipped up.


Girls normally say that if they sense that the guy is more into them than they are in the guy.




princesimba said:

It means she finds the idea of being in a relationship with you repulsive.

If this is the same girl from that other thread you made,then her saying "Me? Your girl? No way." makes PERFECT SENSE given the way you behaved with her.


This is the girl you got into an arguement with simply because she told you she wasn't impressed with the date you set up,right? And after she said that,she sent you a text telling you she actually liked the date,and even flirted with you. So you should have known she was only kidding.


Instead,you ended up arguing and fighting over this nonsense.

See the part I put in bold?


BINGO. She doesn't want you to get the wrong idea,and that idea being that ANYTHING romantic would happen between you two.


She did go out with you once,but after you started a fight with her over her little innocent comment,she probably decided to just move on.




more info about this girl:
-i see her almost everyday in college
-loves contacting me first on IM and text

-me: but we are good friends! her: please, we arent even friends
Ok....see the one I put in bold,the one about "but we're good friends/please,we aren't even friends"? I think you misunderstood there.


When she said,"We aren't even friends",she didn't mean that thing about how men and women are either friends or they're having sex,she said that sarcasticly,as in,"What,friends? We aren't even that".



What she meant was you two are NOTHING,but she was joking.


You two are friends.....ONLY.




princesimba said:

Hey,didn't you say you weren't in the friendzone with her?

Well if you see her everyday,she constantly calls/contacts you "just to chat",and there has been NO MENTION of a second date by EITHER OF YOU,well you may not be in the friendzone,but you're damn close to it,lol.



princesimba said:

So when you go in search of this girl in order to speak to her ALONE,what do you talk to her about? I'm sorry dude,but this is looking more and more like the friendzone to me.



Here's the thing though....it's rare,REALLY RARE to fall into the firendzone AFTER having a date with a girl.....UNLESS....well,the date didn't go so well. It's rare,but you seem to be making progress in doing it though.

All that "saying stuff to piss you off" between you two seems like sibling rivalry. It sounds like a brother and sister meddling each other.





When I walk into a room at night,I don't have to wonder if the light switch is on or not. You seem to be confused by this girl. Well is sexuality there between you two?



All the things that normally go along with a man and a woman being interested in each other....


(sexual) flirting and teasing
YOU complimenting her
hugging,kissing,and making out
having sex
going out on dates
YOU (at least) trying to take her out or be sexual with her


Are any of these things present between you two? If not,if "sexuality" is "absent" between you and her,then what are you confused about?

That about sums it up right there.

If a guy's highlights of his interaction with a girl are: "We see each other everyday in class. She IMs or texts me first. She ignores me."

...I tend to get the impression that nothing sexual is going on. Unless he somehow forgot to mention, "She texts me first....AND we have hot sweaty monkey sex."

So as usual, I agree with IgetIt. This sounds like the typical guy pining over a woman who has zero interest in him. Princesimba claims to be "confused" but it seems fairly un-confusing to me.

Shes stringing you along cause she likes the attention. Get rid of her.
Bingo, that's all you needed to hear. Unless you somehow keep her around to benefit you in some way, start hanging out with her less.
 

"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.

Getting rid of the girl isn't always the best option, guys. The way I see it, if you really want to kill even the 0,99% percent of chance you have with a girl who doesn't want you, then do get rid of her. Nevermind the fact that girls DO change ideas sometimes. Not often, but I've seen it happen.

Now, also, if you genuinely like the girl, why should you ditch her? Because she doesn't want to have sex with you? Pardon me, but that's a bit immature.

Which reminds me of some thing I saw in a field report a while ago: the guy had went for the kiss on the first date and was immediately friend zoned. He answered "I can't be friends with you! I like you!". rofl

My point being... you know, man... just chill the fvck out and quit expecting anything from her.

If he genuinely likes the girl and she doesn't want to have sex with him, why WOULDNT he ditch her? What's left to do? He likes her romantically. She doesn't.

If I'm "just friends" with a girl, I can just chill out and quit expecting anything from her. If I've gone on a date (or multiple dates) with a girl, then YES I expect something. That's what grownups do. They date, and they expect progress within that dating.

Just because he's trying to date a girl and she wants to be "friends" doesn't mean that he's supposed to shift his thinking from sexuality and into friendship.

Dam, you remembered. Lol. Yes it is. But i subconciously let her know that i didnt really care whether she liked it or not, because 99,999 others were there before and they all liked it, and i was only mad because she spoiled my "perfect record". Of course that aint true, but thats the idea i "implanted" into her brain after reading some advices. A trick the movie Inception taught me ;)

I guess i've been too negative in my description of this girl. We do flirt a lot, A LOT. More than anything we normally do, i just left out that part because its not one of the "problems" i see. I have only asked her out once because i see her in school everyday anyway, so whats the difference?

The problem is, she has been saying all these nasty things to me (me, your girl? No way) even BEFORE we went out, and since she has not treated me any differently at all before or after we went out, i was thinking if thats just the way she talks to me. Basically my question is: "Will girls say such things just to play hard to get?" I mean, what else could she reply? Me, your girl, err okay? LOL

Igetit gave good advice.

I don't see anything confusing in her actions. You are friendzone or worse without a doubt.

Either she will meet up with you when you arrange it and is into you when you physically escalate (in which case, she probably likes you, duh!);

or

She won't meet up with you, or won't let you physically escalate.

Stop over analysing the obvious and get yourself some other damn options. FAST!

So you're saying, ask her out anyway, no need to think so much, eh?
 

"She's Out of Your League"

You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.

Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.

She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.

Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.
