"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"

Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."

You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.

She's been waiting forty minutes.

Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.

First time for this one, she had already raised red flags but this takes the cake. Girl I have been foolin with for about a month out of nowhere giving me the cold shoulder. Literally last night we were all over each other, tonight she is getting in some other dudes face and going out of her way to ignore me after I invited her out.


Cool though I deleted her number already. Don't need it anyways.
 

"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.

That's why it's important to try to b@ng them when you have the chance. You might not see her again.

I assume you went as far as you could when you fooled around with her. Charge it to the game.

Don't take it personally. What you described is common today, sadly.

Half,

To assume she completely flaked on you in a matter of 24 hours is not uncommon, but i ask .. why do YOU think this happened? is there any other information you can provide

Of course you can just next her but I prefer to take a more conservative approach rather than throwing a woman away over a single slight. (Though a big enough slight will earn an immediate dismissal.)

If it's a girl whom I know I will run into again (especially if fairly frequently) if she goes cold like that I'll go even colder towards her. Without saying anything you can make it clear that she screwed up by playing her stupid games and will have to earn her way back into your good graces. If she still has interest she'll try to make amends, if not then ignoring her will help you get over her quicker.

The thing is that this sort of behavior is becoming so common these days that inevitably you'll need to learn how to deal with it, might as well start now.

Actually Mike I held back from sleeping with her because she recently got out of an LTR. This is also the reason I am having no problem nexting her, maybe in the future she wants to get my attention I may let her earn it, as it stands now I have nothing to say on the matter to her.

Zerro I will probably run into her again and I will probably follow your advice. However there were many red flags, for example we would be talking about whatever and out of nowhere in a really creepy tone she would bluntly say things about her ex. The whole energy of the room would change, kind of repulsed me. For example we were having a laugh and she abruptly stopped and said remember so and so, who used to live here what a **** he left me for so and so, or the night I made her *** like 4 times she is tryin to talk about this dude after blowing me.

I fully intend to be rather short with her if we encounter one another. Words will not communicate what needs to be said.

Other than that, was fun while it lasted. I am not all terribly torn up over it mind you, her behaviour turned me off to her.

Been there, done that. Any time a girl talks about her ex it's not a good sign. I'll give them one warning about how I don't care to hear about it, if they do it again then I'm out as they've obviously not moved on.
 

"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.

HalfAddict,

Surely she must have given signs beforehand that she is unstable, no?

I have always found that it is common for men to be genuinely surprised about a woman's behavior when in fact there were signs all along. That goes back to my maxim that we men tend to idealize the women we're with and have great difficulty fully understanding how barren of integrity they really are. They barely have a concept of integrity and living by principle, which is why we must go to such great lengths to discipline and influence them toward proper behavior.

I do it too. I fill in the blanks of a woman with vague concepts that she thinks and will act morally, only to have my illusory bubble burst when she acts according to her nature. ANd what is her nature? Self-interest and slavery to emotion.

This is so true. Women today are fickle and it's only going to get worse. You have to strike when the iron is hot or else you risk completely losing any chance with them nowadays. Bang first, relationship second is how it works. I don't agree with it, but it is what it is.

Yeah pretty wild man, guess I should have just railed her.

Oh I am sure she did Atom, but like you said subconsciously I fill n the blanks and of course I give the benefit of the doubt.
