"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.

EDIT: Digging through my memory, I came to a moment that may have been the hinge on which our relationship turned. A few weeks ago, I told her I loved her. We were having a really intimate moment, and some voice in my head said "She'll eat it up! Go for it!" Of course my feelings weren't that strong, but I said it anyway. Yes, she ate it up... AT THAT MOMENT. I want to strangle myself for saying that.

I'll try to keep this as short as possible while making it as informative as possible.

My girlfriend of about 4 months used to initiate conversations all the time. On facebook, text... whatever. We both suggested when to hang out. We were both very open. Sex made us closer than we were before, and everything seemed great.

Unfortunately, the last few weeks have made me rethink our relationship.

We're both in high school, and over the past few weeks she's seemed more distant. She's less willing to talk about sex, rarely initiates conversations, and is just distant. I'm afraid to bring this up because I don't want to seem weak, which is obviously the last thing I would want to happen. I can't think of anything specific that made her change, which is why this whole situation is just mind boggling to me.

So right now I can't see us breaking up, but things have faded from where they used to be. How exactly do I proceed? Should I text her only once or twice a week? Should I talk about how I feel?

I used DJ techniques to get her to be my GF, but I feel like I've slipped into AFC mode lately... is there any way to salvage this relationship?

"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"

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.

Well,if you're sure that there isn't another guy in the picture that's drawing her attention away,then it's probably just her attraction level for you is running low.

If that's the case,then don't worry,this can EASILY be repaired.

No,no and no. No to the 5th power. Don't EVER do this.

Well if it's just her chemistry getting low,then yes.

I don't want to have to type this out again for a thousandth time,so I'll just give you a link to it.

Here,check out THIS. Don't worry,it's not 5 pages of a thread to read,just one single reply. Just skip down to reply #14 and read it.

It should shed some light on why things have seemed to cool off with your relationship,and it'll tell you what to do to get things back on track.


Later man.
