Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.
She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.
Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.
So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.
The words come later. The impression comes first.
She calls you when her car breaks down. When she needs help moving. When some guy she's actually dating treats her badly.
You're the listener. The reliable one. The guy who would treat her so much better, if she'd just open her eyes.
She won't. You trained her to see you as the low-effort option — the friend who requires zero risk and zero investment. Every favor dug the hole deeper.
The "22 Rules" break the pattern. You'll stop auditioning for a role she already cast and become the man she chases instead. It starts with Rule 1.

I can't let her get away with this. I feel compelled to say something.
I want to vomit. I'm a wreck.
Why so insulting? I know I have inner game problems. This is my first girlfriend ever. Can you not be a little more understanding? I'm not trying to reconcile anything. Aren't you guys reading my post?Actually, your whole situation makes me want to vomit.
All I can say is this: "Run for your life!"
You're a lamb being led to slaughter and this can only turn out ugly.
It's time to work on yourself or your masochism will kill you.

I hear you dude. And I knew about the single mother thing. I made a mistake. I admit this. I am not trying to salvage anything from this relationship.Danger said:1. Do not get involved with a single mother....or single mother to be.
2. Here was your clue right here (below).
As I said before, you will not stop her from getting away with this. All you can do is stop her from taking value away from your life.
Leave her to suffer the consequences of her actions.
I do have oneitis for her, this is true. this was my first girlfriend ever and I lost my virginity to her.logic1 said:No, what your really saying is you have oneitis for her. You still care. Your in a fog. Your infatuated. In your mind this is the only women in the world.
This is about you. There is nothing you can do to save her. You need to suck it up and bow out. It will be hard but you will never regret it.
Do yourself a favor and completely vanish from this mess. Never look back. You deserve better.
Seeking "justice' in situations like this is common but foolish.Obliteraga said:I do have oneitis for her, this is true. this was my first girlfriend ever and I lost my virginity to her.
That said, I have no plans to reconcile with her. The only thing left is to sort out the injustice of this other guy getting screwed by marrying someone whose child he may not even be the father of, not to mention she's a cheating skank.
I'm torn on this. and it hurts a lot, not gonna lie. I feel physically ill.
He is being shipped home in 2 months. I can't guarantee anything, my now ex-gf doesn't know where i live but she may possibly remember the name of the street, I don't know. she knows what I drive.jophil28 said:When is he being shipped home ? Do you live in the same town as he does ?
Can you guarantee your physical safety if he comes home?
Do you have his phone #?
IF you do, why not just point him to this thread via an anonymous text.
Frankly,I agree with the other guys. Walk away in silence and let things take their natural course between them . IF she has revealed her background and other unsavory personal information to you, you can bet that she will play the same mind games with him.
Learn your lesson, become better at filtering women before you get with them, and take note of all the warnings here about single mothers.
Young women do not just get pregnant by accident or bad luck. Every women knows how tNOT to get pregnant, so a young pregnant woman is "that way " by choice.
The rape story is as old as the hills... it's BS.
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.

Obviously - so if you value your life just run for the hills before some lover kills you for good.Obliteraga said:I'm a mmess
