"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.

I have been in a LTR for about 5 months and slowly I am being pussified. I was well aware of this happening I could see my confidence and power leaving. Now I am seperated from her and feel so much stronger and motivated. Is this the sign of an unhealthy relationship? I know once I see her again i will dominate her, but will this happen again?

How can I prevent this from happening? I havent called her in 5 days, should I?
 

"I just moved here from Florida."

That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?

She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."

She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.

I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.

Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.

I don't know, man. I hear this a lot, but I don't get it.

I haven't been in a serious relationship in 5 years, but I noticed after I got settled into relationship mode, I was actually a lot more alpha.

Since I had given her a title, I wasn't worried about losing her. Not only that but since I had somebody to share everything with, I suddenly felt a lot more motivated to go out and do all kinds of interesting things I never would have done otherwise.

That implied non-removable feminine energy rejuvenated my natural guy qualities. It was kind of cool actually. I miss it sometimes.

I kind of feel like this too, its strange, I have recently ended a 9 month relationship and since coming out of it I feel like a lot more things are happening in my life. I don't know, do guys get lazy when we have girlfriends?

It's because YOU are letting yourself go. Get back to your roots!

i know i am, but this break has already allowed me to piece myself together and shape back up. Im just wondering if I should call her or let her call me first
 

"She Laughed All Night. Then She Ghosted You. Here's Why."

Dinner ran three hours. She laughed at everything. You walked her to her car thinking this one's locked in.

Then: nothing. Two texts. No reply. What happened?

You did what most men do on a great date. You filled every silence, answered every question, and left her with nothing to wonder about. No mystery. Nothing to sit with when she got home.

Rule 3 of the "22 Rules" changes the ending: tell her a little, hold back the rest, and let her imagination do the chasing. The ghosting stops too.

yea, we do get pretty lazy when we have gf's

but it doesn't effect my alphaness. i'm actually way more confident with her than i am single. I just don't feel the need to go around parading as an alpha anymore. :p
