"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.

I met a chick in the club Saturday. She was really into me. My friend wanted to meet her, but she didn't want to talk to him. She only would talked to me. So, I didn't make any moves in front of my friends. I just got her number. I called her on Tuesday. She responded with a text message today. I asked her if she was feeling better (she said she was sick Saturday night). She said she felt so much better and thanks or asking. I replied saying that since she felt better, she could go out with my Friday night. I went a few hours with not response and sent "or not". She instantly sent a text that said, "hold on I'm at work! I can't always look at my phone".

I don't like the tone she took, so I just thought I'd ignore her now. If I knew a witty reply, I would reply, but I don't. If you have a suggestion, please feel free to respond.

I thought about saying "Don't get your panties in a wad".
 

"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"

You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.

For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.

Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.

The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.

you shouldnt have sent her the "or not" message. now she sees you as needy guy that gets worried when she doesnt answer her texts right away. she is busy at work and you should appear to be busy as well. even if she did ignore your first message so what... you should be spinning multiple plates anyway...

I understand that it seems needy, and I do have plates spinning on skinny little sticks. I guess I thought the worst in this situation. I guess I can't get it back on track with her.

I don't know why I do that crap. My instincts say "be needy", so I do. It's like something tells me that I need her to respond or I'm worthless.

I just can't seem to break the cycle. There's a trigger somewhere, but I'm not quite sure what it is.
 

"I'm Not Looking for Anything Serious Right Now"

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.

I would think it would be easier to break the AFC mentality by having lots of women. Just like when rich people say that money doesn't matter. It's because they don't have to worry about money. A man with women doesn't have to worry about women.

So, I may have plates that I spin, but all of them are work with one exception, and she's the one I'm really not interested in. It just doesn't seem that easy, and I think a lot of people that come here are just keyboard jocking, but aren't really backing up their words. In real life they act just as AFC as I do, but it takes women to get more women. Just like it takes money to make money.

I think what will work best for me to keep from looking overly needy is just not to respond. If she wants to talk further with me, then fine. If not, then fine.

I stopped being an AFC when i took p*ssy off the pedastal. I get alot of women but I dont need them to enjoy my life. I have other things going on in my life that keep me busy and make me happy like reading books, playing sports, cooking, writing music, starting my own business, movies, traveling, hanging with family and friends, etc...

you seem to have oneitis right now because you are so focused on this one girl. there are 4 billion women out there. ask yourself this question "what makes this woman more special then all the other ones out there?"

I don't know the girl. I don't consider it oneitis. I consider it as not enough options otherwise. When that happens, It's natural to put a woman on a pedestal. It's a fvcked up mentality, I know.
 

"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"

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.

I kind of felt that way too, and her response was to test to see if I'd be reactive, but by not being reactive to her cruel tone, I pass the test. We'll see. I don't know.

I responded with the following:

"Wow! Don't rip my head off. I just thought I was being ignored. We guys to get rejected, you know?"

She responded instantly with "I'm sorry I wasn't being mean".

So, there you go. Just got put them off a little bit.

Well, she ended up calling me last night. We talked for a little bit before I let her go. We talked about going out Saturday night, but I don't think I'm interested. she has a kid, and I don't feel like fathering someone else's DNA.
