"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.

As I mentioned in the last thread I began, there was a girl that I like. Well, after giving her the silent treatment yesterday and most of Saturday (maybe it works Bluelemond), I finally did "make a move." First, I intended to not ask her out directly (if at all here). I said something to the nature of that it would be great if we could hang out because we only see each other on AIM and at school.

She said yes. :cheer:

Now, I don't really think this means were exactly "going out" quite yet, but it's definately a good start. :cool:

While talking about what to do (she said she'd go anywhere), she warned me that during her volleyball season, the schedule is very strenuous and it clogs up her day almost every day lately. At first, I figured she was exaggerating, so I checked her schedule...she wasn't kidding. :rolleyes: She has practice till 4:30-5:00 everyday and she has a lot of games coming up (including a big tournament Saturday).

There are a couple times this week and next week (not many) where I can see her having some free time (and work around the V-Ball), so I'll see how that works out.

"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.

Haha. You think 4:30 is bad. Think about some of us who don't get home until seven pm every day.

Tell us how it goes.

Dude, seriously, this girl isn't talking to you like you're boyfriend quality. She's talking to you like a bestfriend who just wants to hang out with her. And then you're making it worse by attempting to work around her schedule! remember, your a man, a man is supposed to be very busy aswell, which means he has to have his own life and goals. Right now, your goals are all in the wrong place: "around her schedule". When she said she was busy, you should have said, "Well, that's too bad, my schedule is loaded too. But, give me your number and I'll pencil you in for an outing sometime". The key is to have a life, but have her apart of your life. Making moves all takes precise timing. You still have to amplify her attraction for you before you make any further moves. Right now, it seems like she's a potential girl, so work on that, but have a life while you work on that.

Good Luck:cool:

I get what you're saying...

...luckily I didn't talk to her yet. :cool: I'll make myself appear quite busy so she can't just have her way. And, there is no way in he** I'm a best friend to her. We get along fine, but no best friend factor in there lol.

There's a small snafu (nothing serious) that I need to fix, so there will probably no real progress for a day or two. In short, we get along real well, then she blocked my AIM and almost seemed to avoid me in school - it's like she changed overnight. So I just gotta see what this could mean, then I should be fine (her friend said it's likely not that big). This same friend, who plays with the girl I like on the V-Ball team, said the team likes when I come for support, so this friend may try to get to the bottom of this quickly if they want me to go to some of their games from now on. I won't ask her (the girl) about it, but I'll get my answer somehow.:D
 

"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.
