She calls you when her car breaks down. When she needs help moving. When some guy she's actually dating treats her badly.
You're the listener. The reliable one. The guy who would treat her so much better, if she'd just open her eyes.
She won't. You trained her to see you as the low-effort option — the friend who requires zero risk and zero investment. Every favor dug the hole deeper.
The "22 Rules" break the pattern. You'll stop auditioning for a role she already cast and become the man she chases instead. It starts with Rule 1.
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.
You need to get laid by another girl. Switch girls as necessary.Mikeman! said:Francisco d'Anconia : I slept with another girl. a few times it didn't help.
Mikeman! said:It is going to bug me though not knowing for sure if she is infact married or not. The guy DID move from Atlanta to Arkansas for her, and she did a background check on him as well to be sure this guy was who he said he was(as crazy as that is). If this guy moved all this way, I'm sure it was with the intent of marrying her. I guess there is no real way to really know...
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.
I supposed he met her once. And probably was not given the opportunity to fvck her. This man must be out of his mind. A LDR with no fvcking is crazy.Latinoman said:Did you actually "see" this woman in REAL life? Did you have sex with her?
Is this one of those Internet chicks?
Mikeman! said:***UPDATE***
Firstly, I'd like to thank everyone who contributed their wisdom to this thread, it truly did help me...
Just thought I'd give you guys an update on whats going on with me...Life is good...I have 2 other women I'm seeing, I've been taking salsa lessons, going out with friends, keeping myself busy....I've been promoted to a managerial position at work. Everything is going well and although she's still on my mind daily, it doesn't hurt anywhere near as much as it did 1 month ago.
In fact, after she had sent me a message saying "I wanted to let you know I'm married, I won't be coming on here anymore, hope all is well", I blocked her on MSN, I realized this is not the woman I thought I knew and I didn't want anything to do with her. Two weeks later she comes on MSN(after saying she wouldn't anymore) and realizes I'm offline(In reality she is blocked) then sends me a short phone e-mail saying "U okay?". She proceeds to check if I'm online 4 days out of that week.
It's now a week later and I come home from work noticing she's online AGAIN and I have *3* e-mails sent to me in 1 day spaced out 3 hours apart...
1st one telling me "If you still have this email please write back, I want to talk to you, my husband is out for a few days I think we should talk. are you ok?
2nd one "You're always offline, will you please talk to me???"
3rd "Hey hey hey...mike..mike...poke poke...I'm talking to you, are you listening?"
I now see her true nature, and realize she is of the narcissistic/freak personality..But this is getting out of hand...I'm GUESSING she can't fu*k this husband of hers since she has me on her mind the whole time and is feeling guilty and just wants closure. Part of me wants to completely ignore her and not give her that, if thats what she wants. Another part of me wants to reply indifferently, telling her to move on, without me in her life...and the last to somehow acquire her as a LD FB if possible(I would not let myself get attached to her again by keeping other girls as primarys).
Regardless, I'm feeling better and will not be falling into that same trap again, but what do you think she's after?

Now you can really see what she would have been like in any type of relationship. If she really is married just re-read that quote again. Now that is respect isn't it?mikeman said:1st one telling me "If you still have this email please write back, I want to talk to you, my husband is out for a few days I think we should talk. are you ok?
...its one thing to have a bunch of emails, but please tell us that you are not 'checking' to see if she is online. That will just keep the obsession going.mikeman said:It's now a week later and I come home from work noticing she's online AGAIN and I have *3* e-mails sent to me in 1 day spaced out 3 hours apart...
Attention.Mikeman! said:Regardless, I'm feeling better and will not be falling into that same trap again, but what do you think she's after?
You can skip the expensive cars, the fancy clothes, and the endless gym selfies. Completely unnecessary.
I used to freeze the second a beautiful woman looked my way. Frustrated. Awkward. Watching other guys walk away with the girl while I stood there tongue-tied.
Then I discovered 22 simple rules that rewired my entire dating life. The anxiety vanished. Conversations flowed effortlessly. Women started chasing me for a change.
These rules trigger a woman's subconscious attraction switches. And you can start using them tonight.
This will be swift. You have to rid yourself of this disease called LDR. It's nothing more than a control application from phony b!tches who scour the internet for clingy,needy wussbags (sorry brother but that's what you are) such as yourself. This cvnt had no intentions of leaving her old man for you. You have been her emotional tampax and attentive pooch.Mikeman! said:I am in UTTER SHOCK and DISBELIEF....I constantly feel like I'm about to throw up...my insides are hurting like nothing else. Every day, I've still been thinking about her even though I don't want to...she pops into my head 15-20 times a day, for 1-2 seconds. I slept with another girl a few times, it didn't help me get over this... I still feel love for her and now all hope I had of ever making this work is COMPLETELY out the window, because in a mere 4 months she has gone and MARRIED ANOTHER MAN!! She is extremely needy, she couldn't stand being alone...
