"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.

I've had a girlfriend for a while now and I still hang out with my roommates a lot but now they've started to completely ignore me. A few weeks back I asked them about spring break and we were going to plan something. A couple days ago I over heard them talking about a cruise they planned for spring break but when I asked them the next day about what we wanted to do they didn't even bring it up so I know they're trying to exclude me which sucks. We all used to be good friends and go out together but it seems like when I attempt to talk to them now they just want to get away from me ugh it blows. How do I reconnect with them.
 

"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.

When was the last time you planned something yourself and included them?

Have you been blowing your friends off to make time for your girlfriend? That is a very common situation which causes trouble between friends.

just hang out with them without your gf over there. They might not like her too. Like me and my old roomate (real good friends) would have UFC fight nights with no women allowed, or when all our familys meet up... no gf.

Yeah, I concur. Seems like the situation here. Does anyone else have a girlfriend? If yes, do they bring her around?
 

"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.

First of all, have you been trying to drill this sh*t into them? Don't ever do that.

Secondly, you must treat them as if they are at the very least as important as your girlfriend.

Keep it like that and you'll have a good balance of both mates and girlfriend.

1) Roommates and friends aren't necessarily one and the same, though it's great if they are.

2) If they commonly exclude you then they aren't your friends. However, it's unreasonable to expect people to never desire to spend time with others without you. Good example: Sometimes I like to spend time with my Dad, without my mother. Sometimes I like to spend time with my Mom, without my father. It doesn't mean I love either of them any less.

3) Friendships take work. Have you been holding up your part of the bargain?
