Will do. And anyone else care to weigh in?
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.
Attraction runs on a clock.
She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.
The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."
One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.
Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.
Interesting. How will I know that she's lost feelings for the other guy?Starkwell said:A high school student in a LTR haha. Most girls under 24 are way too immature to handle a relationship and this is what you have here. She got dumped and wants the guy back but she will be only used for sex when the guy wants it. You are the "stand in" guy until she thinks she can get back with the ex. So she will be hot and cold with you. I'm sure that is something that you don't want.
Go out and meet other girls and don't get involved in relationships because most of them never work out especially with a girl who has feelings for another guy because she won't have the same feelings for you.
Well, if she lost her feelings for him she would be with you right now. Right? She wouldn't be holding on and waiting for him to get back with her.kingxxxman said:Interesting. How will I know that she's lost feelings for the other guy?
Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.
You've been "getting ready" for two years.
She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.
Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.
You get back at her by stopping your reaching out to her and ignoring her and going on with your life. Every day you drain your emotional energy over this stuff, you're losing. So stop reaching out. If you go 1 month NC maybe she'll text you, and you can ignore it because you've seen her true colors;or you can explore it--but if you keep pegging at her you're just pushing her further away. It would be better to let the entire situation free from your mind and focus on other women whom are more receptive and not leaving you in a dark chasm of mystery.kingxxxman said:So she just completed ignored one of my texts today. I'm done with this girl. How do I get back at her?
who cares. why would you want a girl back who rejected you the first time? find someone else that will want to be with you. You won't get any from her. She won't give you any. All you need to know is that she chose the ex over you and is ignoring you. move on and meet other girls. That is all you can do or it will eat you up.kingxxxman said:If I get past this girl, is there any chance she can come back into my life? I feel like I don't have the closure that I really need.
why did you still bother to text her when she said she needed time alone? take the hint dude. she didn't want to hear from you. then you still texted her. so of course she is still going to ignore you.kingxxxman said:So she just completed ignored one of my texts today.

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.
