"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."

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.

For those who have noticed my posts over the past few months, i m always the guy who says cut off all contact with your ex! you need a clean break and a fresh start!. I always argue that the faster you forget about the faster you can move on, which is the ultimate goal. So cut off all communications with her!

well, that conviction came in part from experience, as I also had to let go of a girl who I was deeply attracted to (i guess i can say i was in love with her, whatever that means). But i stuck to my guts ever since and have not contacted her or returned or messages/calls. What made it easier for me is also that i moved more than 1000 miles away from her...

Anyways, she has been desperately trying to talk to me, always drunk dialling late at night on weekends and txting me during the weekdays. Now, her best (girl) friend, who is a mutual friend, called me, basically telling me I should "do the mature thing" and call my ex. That s some more matrix bullshyt right there, trying to make me look bad for not talking to her. Then she tells me that my ex has been trying to contact me (obviously i know that...), that she is starting to have "mental problems" (i know that all too well!) and that she really worries about me. The last thing our friend said really shocked me: i m not calling her because i still love her!

The point of my post was to show a real life example to all those who i advise to cut contact with the ex's. You WILL move on. you WILL stop caring about her. your life will go on, and some day you ll hear that your ex was committed in a mental institution because her pre-existing disorders got out of control when she realized how good of a catch she let go. But by that time you ll be so indifferent to her problems that it won't even feel like revenge. or maybe just a little bit...
 

"Nervous Around Beautiful Women? There's a Rule for That"

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.

i just heard through a good friend of mine, who used to date my ex's best friend, that my ex (of 3.5 yrs, broke up 1.5 yrs ago), is now having regrets about the guy she picked up right after we broke up. She moved to another city for him, and now shes having regrets, and saying she thinks she moved on too fast. Oh well. :crackup:

Amen. When you're right, you're right. The truth is the truth.

what really surprised me the most was how our mutual friend expects me to be there for my ex, now that it seems she cannot deal with her problems on her own, even though i haven't contacted her in 8 months...

this goes to show how hard the captain-save-a-ho mentality is reinforced in today's society.
 

“The 22 Rules That Flip the Script With Women… And How You Can Use Them Tonight”

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.
