"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.

So i just recently started school again my ex is still up here. Sh!t was pretty serious living together, marriage talk etc. Shes with some other dude i think. We ran into each other 1 week ago on campus. I was such a d1ck to here. Shes like why didnt you say hi when i saw you at so and so i replied with there was no need. she said call me sometime i said for what. sh1t like that. I called her once right before i moved back. she didnt answer probably cause i got a new number. dumb old me told her my new number when i ran into her.
After that convo i was like oh well she calls she calls whatever. So its been a week and i got a missed call from here tonight. I called her back like 2 hours later she didnt answer. She couldve called to see the dog or something (we bought a dog together) or maybe her f@g bf or whatever he is pissing her off. beats me. not that i care a whole lot.
anyways what should i do should i just ignore her call if she calls back and see her when i see her or answer to see what she wanted?
 

"I'm Not Looking for Anything Serious Right Now"

When a woman says it, guys hear a confession. A heads-up. A scheduling conflict.

Here's the translation: I don't feel anything. Right now. With you.

Watch what happens when a man triggers actual attraction. The busy career, the recent breakup, the "not in a place to date" — all of it evaporates instantly. The same woman who was guarding her freedom is suddenly free every night.

The "22 Rules" explain why. When the right switches flip, her timeline rearranges itself around you.

Do you want to see her? If no, then don't answer her calls or call back.

the thing is i kind of want to see her. we both done fvcked up sh!t to each other. she hurt me in the end but me and her were a good couple for the most part. i think her head wasnt there when we broke up. im not sure of her intentions she said she was moving to the city in two months but then again she said that like 6 months ago so i dont know.
Regardless of what she wants all i know is that if or when she calls back i will say before anything is said i want to hear an apology for everything.

forgive her... forget her... and find someone new
 

"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.

maybe she wanted a booty call. Girls do that so they dont add to the "number".

Funny thing... I used to think about the ex quite a bit when I was single. But, now that I've had a girlfriend for quite some time, I never think about her at all. I'm not saying, grabbing a new girl is the solution to all lifes problems but it does wonders for the psyche.

Just try to make a wise decision and don't do it out of desperation. Would you want to be with this same girl in 10 years? I can honestly answer that with a "no" for my last relationship.

place to place.
stop thinking about the past. people always remember the good parts of a relationship even after it went sour. if you were such a good couple then why aren't you together anymore? try remembering the days she nagged and b@tched. try remembering what caused the rift between you two.

i banged into a few of my exs and i was nice to them but that didn't make me forget why were not together anymore. even if they look f@cking great it's just a mask because underneath she's the same dam thing you went out with before.
