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.
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.
Most guys accidentally kill attraction before they even speak. They assume they need a bigger bank account, a better physique, or smoother lines. They miss the point.
Female desire operates on a specific set of psychological triggers. Break them, and you're invisible. Follow them, and you become magnetic.
I learned this the hard way. Years of freezing up. Getting friend-zoned. Watching other guys walk away with the girl I wanted. Then I discovered a set of 22 simple rules that rewired my entire approach.
This reads as sulking. I understand you are trying the reverse psychology angle, but it isn't necessary--she obviously has contemplated these things already, and the best way to make her dwell on them is simply to carry on as normal. Don't let her move change your life, and stop bringing it up to her.aix237 said:I made a couple of jokes tonigth with her and said
"wow we got 60 days together until we never talk again."
"We should make a to do list of things we should do before we go cold turkey with each other forever"
"Ill make a calendar for the countdown"
"We are going to maybe have to pass two tests togehter. The first test is to see if we can save this in 60 days and if we fail that test we have to take test #2 to see if we wont crack and never talk again. I've passed #2 before."
She was like uh your off, why are you saying that, stop being so dramatic. I was laughin the whole time.
You are deluding yourself. She WILL go through it unless you nip it in the bud and break up with her now. If it'll make you feel better about it, you can even take her back in a week when she comes begging (though I don't recommend it). But doing nothing is going to prolong your misery, and inevitably, she will find it in herself to leave.aix237 said:Its basically if i stand in her way somehow she wont go through with it cause she doesnt have the power in herself to pull the trigger and she changes her mind. If this relationship is going to end im the one who would have to do it and go through with it. She wont. im debating. Im goin out a lot more now so if i find someone pretty soon her azz is to the curb with a quickness.
Haha, this is the battlecry of the oneitis AFC's who are beyond hope.aix237 said:I know my actions are like as you described but the whole point yea I can act needy right now just as long as its not everyday. Everybody acts needy you cant tell me you never have. A girl wont automatically leave if one day you act needy. She probably fills good seeing me act like that, but heres the thing. I act needy today she feels comfortable is getting what she wants, then the next im like well whatever I dont care, take away, in which case shell be like why doesnt he care all the sudden im losing him. If I want i can flip the switch and I have. Ive been with her long enough to know what she reacts to and how she is. There were times towards the beginning where she would be so set in her ways of us not being together I would push it and act needy then she would shut down then I would then she would come running back...this was done uncalculated.
To get what you want in this world you have to manipulate the situation. YOu cant say thats wrong because Im sure everyone here is needy in a way but the disguise it with a girl to not let her see it. Im not saying overall needy but at certain points this is done.
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.
She really doesn't think she deserves a dude that makes 500k a year, otherwise she'd attract and be with one of them dudes, right away.aix237 said:God she really thinks she deserves a dude that makes like 500k a year right away. Well all i know is the dudes shes dated in the past. All non educated losers that got nothing on me and thats what shes going to get again if she decides to leave. I got a bachelors and Im finishing my masters right now. I know previous guys shes dated have a bachelors at best and are all push overs. I let that be known to her also that im not scared and not a push over like all her previous dudes. I also highly doubt shell find a guy that drives an 08 mercedes like myself lol.
I am surprised that your 'suprervisor' did not discuss your dyslexia with you when you submitted your masters' dissertation.aix237 said:... a Littl ehard ....
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.
Because in addition to all his other achievements, he is also a world class computer hacker, so any attempts you make to snuff him out will be futile!!! HAHAHAHAHA!!!speed dawg said:Why hasn't this punk kid's IP address been banned?
