i love pie
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 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.
lol, is that why men are funnier than women?saki said:How can you tell infactuation from love?
Simple., infactuation goes away after you have played with her pvssy for awhile and get tired of it. Been there done that syndrome
Love is unconditional. You could literally watch that person squeez a turd out of their azz and you would still want to be with them. Wlydefire is right, infactuation is what the other person makes you feel. You feel ALIVE, AWOKEN from the dead. Deep down you find that lost person you once knew in yourself. Suddenly, you think you are fun to be around, and a confident, lively guy. Then you find out she was just playin wit ya, and it is time to go back in the cave.
Learn to genuinely love yourself...naes said:first of all, great thread. I had one question though.
Is it possible to get the feelings that come from infactuation (boosted confidence, better person, more alive) without being infactuated with a girl? The main reason why guys want girls is to get those feelings, so if this were somehow possible, then I would say everyone on this forum would be cured.
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.
gkmantis said:This is great advice. I wish I would've came across this thread back when it was originally posted because I was going through a really bad case of infatuation/oneitis and I know this would've helped.
I have come to the same conclusions that Wyldfire suggests mainly through weeding out the good and bad advice on this site and through my own personal experience. I was infatuated with a girl this past year so badly that I could barely function on a day to day basis. It wasn't until I broke contact with her and started to focus on improving myself that the pain finally went away.
Now that I am working on my life by achieving goals that I was either too lazy to accomplish or afraid to take on, I feel much more confident and fulfilled with my life. This has all been in the absence of a woman. I now feel that any relationships I have in the future will be much healthier because I will not be depending on them to make me feel a certain way or become the center of my life. They will just be a nice added addition.
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.
I've never done this with someone I didn't want to get involved with. I am admittedly very adept at manipulation and controlling my relationships, as some people are. That in itself isn't bad...in fact, it can be very good...providing you don't use the abilities to hurt anyone. I use these techniques to keep my relationships fresh and happy. If you have the ability to elicit the feelings of being in love from someone you are in a relationship with it allows you to prevent your relationship from going south. That's what I do in my romantic relationships. I have never (and never would) do anything to encourage or lead on someone I was not interested in a LTR with...that would not be right.d9930380 said:I couldn't agree more with Wyldfire, teases even do this too. They will tell you they love you or you make them wet ext.
If a girl tells me too much how she likes me too soon, I actually see that as a warning sign. As everyguy keeps saying, you can only judge them by their actions.
One question though to Wyldfire "These guys that you've done this too, did you actually like them or is it more or just an ego trip for you?"
Just read this quote and was curious as to your opinion, Wyldfire. Been dating a girl for about 4 months now and feeling the need to make some changes in how I view us and what I do when I'm around her. DJ newbie, but I've been reading this site and there's great stuff here. But I feel if I try to employ a lot of these tactics now she won't respond to them in a positive manner.Actually, a lot of the stuff suggested on this forum doesn't really work so hot with LTRs. They are a different monster entirely from dating or short flings. In a LTR if you make certain that you respect yourself at least as much as your respect your girlfriend, for the most part, you'll be okay.
