Edit: not sure why this was moved from the 25 and over forum...

You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.
Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.
She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.
Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.
Attraction runs on a clock.
She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.
The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."
One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.
Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.

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 could talk to any woman I wasn't attracted to. Charming, funny, relaxed. Then a gorgeous woman looked my way and I'd become a sweating, babbling mess.
The fix took me years to find and ten minutes to learn. Nervousness and excitement are the same physical state — pounding heart, adrenaline, flushed face. Your brain just picks the label. And you can pick a better one.
Rule 16 shows you how. You feel the nerves, relabel them as excitement, and let that energy pour out as enthusiasm. Women notice the guy radiating it. They always do.
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 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.
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
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.
