"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.

I've been a culprit of this myself but reading alot of posts here it appears I'm not alone.

I've gotten to realise that unless the relationship/conversation whatever isn't going how YOU want, the best advice is to move on. It means you aren't needy and if she likes you then you will know because she will be forced to do equal/more work.

As everyone keeps saying, it's a numbers game. I think the problem with AFCs is that as soon as a girl gives them ANY green lights they're thinking girlfriend and relationship because they don't have the confidence or thick skin needed to play the numbers game.

Would most people agree?
 

"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.

I'm not sure...

The power to walk away lies in the understanding that essentially you need only yourself to be happy. But to have that understanding, it must be true! You cannot have this 'belief' if you are not convinced.

You can still love, fall in love etc, but only if it's founded and when anything changes in it's foundation, you can always walk away and be the same man for it, but with more experience yet...

It sounds as easy as simply "walking away"...but godamn, its hard. Easier said than done. Ive been practicing emotional control and have been reading "The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People" for a few months now and it has helped out...but like i said before, easier said than done.

Yes I agree depending on the person. I think its also important to understand what a green light actually is - its a subtle thing with a female right? Here is the kicker - so is the red light - this is where most AFCs fail to realize when the relationship is going no where. So for people starting out out I'd say this is good advice as it makes things simpler.

I believe its important. However I've come to the conclusion that believing in yourself, and realizing that you have value is when everything else will fall into place.
 

"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.
