You made your case like a lawyer. Stable job. Good guy. Ready for something real. All true. All irrelevant.
She weighed your points, nodded along, felt nothing — then fell hard for some tattooed bartender with a motorcycle and a gambling problem.
Logic is where attraction goes to die. The "22 Rules" work a level deeper, on the subconscious switches that decide within minutes whether you register as a MAN or as part of the furniture.
Stop presenting evidence. Start flipping switches.
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.
Danger said:She never told him she was taken, the real question is.......is she taken?
Are you both just fvking eachother, or are you in a committed relationship?
If committed, drop her. If just fvking her, who cares what she does?
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.
I definitely see what you mean.Danger said:Does she know it??? It doesn't seem that way to me.
You should drop her right away because she did not send the message that she has a boyfriend and for him to leave her alone.
In other words, she values this man enough to disrespect your relationship in order to keep him around.
This means the girl is worthless for ANY kind of commitment. Just sex only. There is no going back on this, so don't even try to "talk it out" with her. Her actions tell you everything you need to know.
Your commitment has VALUE. Why give it away to someone who does not value it?
