"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.

There's a girl that dumped me and went back to her ex. We cut contact for 1 month and then started to call me, saying we should be friends and have no hard feelings. I made a huge mistake... I went along with that, it's been 4 months now. I feel that she's just an AW and wants my attention- e.g she calls me when I don't call for some days, she only says to me to go out with her when I behave badly to her e.t.c.
I want a way out. Just ignoring her is not an option. I just want to say something to her and never contact her again. Any advice?
 

"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.

Alright dude, you are aware of what she's doing... "Calling for attention" like a cat...

Telling her "Don't call me anymore" fuels her satisfaction over her control over you. Ignoring her won't give her satisfaction, but will make her more psycho over you, for some guys they like that.. but I would watch out for this.

Just be "nice and brief" - You never call, but you pick up if she calls (do not return voicemails.) - Act friendly, but cut the call within 1 min. Do not say anything about hanging out, she can say that - but again the "nice and brief" rule still applies.

The last resort is to change your phone number, block emails, etc but this is also unmasculine but should be the last resort.

Thanks man. As far as hanging out with her, do you think it's a good thing to do? She proposed two times to hang around and I declined. Anyway, as I see it she wants to keep me at arms distance. Not too close (she doesn't really want a friend, she wants a follower) and not too far (in case she loses me).
Typical AW case I beleive.

You're the one who's in control of your situation. You're allowing her to control your contact with her. Tell her in a firm voice that you don't want anymore contact with her. Don't answer her calls, don't go out with her anywhere. You're not standing up for what YOU want - to move on with your life. She's got your ba11s in a vice, but you're the one who let her put them there. Face the fact: you may have to hurt her feelings to move on with your own life. Big dea, she'll get over it.

Even if you try to move on with your life, the moment you get a girlfriend, your ex will have her "feelings hurt". Are you going to dump this new chick because your ex controls your life?

Wanna get rid of her? Do some AFC stuff, call her every day, tell here you have feelings for her and write her a poem ;)
 

"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"

Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.

She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.

Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.

So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.

The words come later. The impression comes first.

Ok, I finally ended this. She offered to give me a ride home with her car from work (we work together). She mentioned something like "you know, the fact that you still talk to me after all that happened between us, I consider it as weak from your part. I think you wanted to end it completely but you couldn't". I didn't respond right away. I go home and I send her an SMS "If that's the way you see it, then so be it. Goodbye and don't call me again".

Good that's step one.
Step two is the hard part. That's coming to terms within yourself that this girls' actions, opinions, thoughts mean nothing to you. You could give a damn. Don't worry you'll get there eventually too.

She actually said what all these girls are thinking!

Lesson: never let a woman control you and never hang on hoping to rekindle a former romance. Once it's over, move on. If she's interested, she will do the chasing.

Thanks man. Lesson learned. BTW, was this a good way to end this? I don't care about how she saw it, I just want to learn from this experience.

Ok, story continued. She insisted on talking to me. I said ok, go on. She said that she broke up with her bf. I told her, its none of my business. That's life anyway. You'll get over it.
Stupid women...
 

"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.

Yeah tell her you're in love her. That'll get rid of her. Or just complain about women and how you can't attract one (even if it's untrue) that'll definitely turn any woman off. Seriously acting AFC would do it as quick as anything. I think the OP maybe secretly enjoys this situation with this girl, that's fine.
