you don't have to sleep with someone to cheat on them... keep that in mind.
Why are you defending her anyway? Move on.
She says the movie looks dumb; you suddenly agree. She tests you with a little attitude; you apologize for nothing.
You think you're being easy to get along with. She reads something else entirely: a man with no edges. Nothing to hold on to. No friction, no tension, no reason to wonder what he really thinks.
The "22 Rules" taught me to push back — playfully, calmly, without needing her approval. Strange things happened after that.

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.
I know you want to believe that. Her friends may be protecting her. If there was another guy she was hooking up with, it sure wouldn't be in broad daylight or even at her place. It's usually at his place!funny that i know for a FACT there is no other guy. My friend is also her close friend and NEIGHBOR and swears i am the only guy. I also communicate with most of her friends and this is not the case.
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.
End it? are u kidding me SHE ENDED IT 3 MONTHS AGO now for the first time in months she is inquiring about me and for the record the people who are reporting to me about her are MY friends who became friendly with her after we started seeing each other. Dont worry I know where the loyalty is and i know this cause at times they told me things i didnt want to hear, but by no means do they have any reason to lie to me. As for picking and choosing which comments i am replying too that is my choice. It doesnt necessarily mean i agree or disagree with them and i appreciate the time and effort everyone put in for me. I just think some of you are very blundt and unnecessarily negative about the situation and all i asked for is your thoughts SO STOP TRYING TO BATTLE ME my intent was to get a collaboration of answers whether positive or negative. As for the hurt that i have endured, well I can honestly say i have no more tears and the pain has changed me as a man. They say you live and learn and in the process you grow wiser and stronger. Hopefully this is the case whether or not things work out for better or for worse atleast i'll learn a little more about myself and the life i live.Originally posted by tmpgstx

I hate to break it to you dawg, but get ready for some pain. It's tough i know, have been there and what you describe is verbatim to what i'm telling you about she's getting ready to end it, but trying to do it in a 'nice' ambigious way.
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.
The Juan and only said:oh she came back did she? I guess her "other option" didn't work out for her
-- those badboys ay...just cant predict them.
well you're the only one swearing here. I make a good argument and you come back with an irrelevant insult. what a shock.TESV said:haha grow up you ****ing brit...NEXT!
I could talk to any woman I wasn't attracted to. Charming, funny, relaxed. Then a gorgeous woman looked my way and I'd become a sweating, babbling mess.
The fix took me years to find and ten minutes to learn. Nervousness and excitement are the same physical state — pounding heart, adrenaline, flushed face. Your brain just picks the label. And you can pick a better one.
Rule 16 shows you how. You feel the nerves, relabel them as excitement, and let that energy pour out as enthusiasm. Women notice the guy radiating it. They always do.
penkitten said:so you decided to give her another chance.
you need to set a rule this time, its all or nothing.
how can there be a relationship if she isnt giving her all?
waiting days in between calling you is showing that she is still not ready for a relationship.
set the ground rule. if shes ready, you will see it and if she is not ready then you will see that too.
dont let it go on a long time if you notice she isnt ready because thats only going to make it more painful to you.
I hope for your sake you're right. But I've heard things like that too many times before. At least be prepared to except that it's possible she's trying to get out of the relationship but doesn't want to hurt you -- I mean you knew something was very wrong, else you wouldn't have come here looking for advice.i love her but she needs to miss me and realize what lifes like without me before she realizes that im the one.
Bro...look at the date on the earlier posts my ex and i have been broken up for quite some time now. I said 3-4 weeks ago SHE initiated contact with me and couldnt keep her hands off me when she came over to my house to supposidly pick up a mysterious shirt that she never found...HMMMM nice excuse to come **** my brains out and see her love. I havent put anything else into the relationship and i shouldnt even be calling it that as its simply my ex coming hafter me as she misses me adn regrets ending something as special as what we had was otherwise why would she even bother calling a guy whom when she left me told me i wass beneath her and she was disgusted that we ever met. This is the truth and my heart has been broken but in time things hopefully will work out for the best. She is so special to me I feel as though she deserves to be categorized as the ONE. I dont claim to be a player...have no intention of dirtying up my **** with disgusting *****s but if youd like me to show you my collection of 20+ gorgeous females (of all different backgrounds cultures etc) and this changes the negative way you look down upon me then so be it. However at 18 years old (and a child in my eyes)and i may add i dont care where the **** you are from, how smart you think you are, or whatever DJ SKILLS you THINK you POSSESS, there;s a certain feeling i get as i glance at your 18 years on this planet walking down the aisle glancing at the tail running after you as you received your high school diploma. Graduation day and that time in life when we thought our boat was the ONLY ONE that floated and nothing could sink the **** in our ship. In my time brother ive met some of the most extroadinary women in my travels (even in my Northern Italian and Colombian visits) to know that when your heart, mindy, body, and soul interlocks together in a unique way that only YOU can confirm, then and only then will YOUR EXPERIENCE, WISDOM, KNOWLEDGE, AND most importantly the OUTSTANDING COMMITMENT OF LOVE will be your only reassurance that the woman whom you question as THE ONE will mean so much to you that you will do whatever it takes to spend the rest of your existance on this planet as her husband. She is the one i love and my ONE and I will prevent myself from getting hurt in whatever way possible but wont accept rejection until she and i can honestly say that weve tried and failed and their will never be again. This is far from the case and i believe things will work out in our favor but all in due time while we excercise patience.The Juan and only said:I hope for your sake you're right.

p.s I also don't like the use of "the one". You'd think such hollywood mindsets with the possibly of perfect love would make people happy. but they don't. they don't because it doesn't work.
-- I for one am glad that i'll never think that way again. I feel more healthy, and more in control. Read up on the bible, dude.
Everyone's been through phases where they thought exactly what you just said. That's how people in love think.In my time brother ive met some of the most extroadinary women in my travels (even in my Northern Italian and Colombian visits) to know that when your heart, mindy, body, and soul interlocks together in a unique way that only YOU can confirm, then and only then will YOUR EXPERIENCE, WISDOM, KNOWLEDGE, AND most importantly the OUTSTANDING COMMITMENT OF LOVE will be your only reassurance that the woman whom you question as THE ONE will mean so much to you that you will do whatever it takes to spend the rest of your existance on this planet as her husband.
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.
