"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.

She has a boyfriend, but offers to buy me dinner?

This old college girl I knew ended up moving to my town several months ago, so we got drinks to "catch up". Though she had the perfect looks, personality, and similar interests as me, she dropped the bomb that she had a long-term boyfriend. I decided to not meet up with her anymore after that (despite the grandiose plans she had for the both of us to go to concerts, movies, fairs, etc.) because it would be a waste of my time.

Fast forward to more than 5 months later. I fell into 2 tickets for a concert for one of her favorite musicians (and one of mine too.) I remember from the conversation we had months earlier how much she liked the musician, so I texted her and asked her if she wanted to go.

Of course she did, and then after saying that, she said that she'd buy me dinner sometime and we can finally hang out again (smileys all over, of course).

Concert got canceled. So.....should I read anything into her wanting to buy me dinner or just let this be?

Should probably also say that her boyfriend lives out of state (and is real). She might just be lonely.
 

"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.

you are secretly hoping that something happens between the two of you. Be honest with yourself, man up , show some integrity and go after what you want in life. We can't analyze a girl we don't know anything about. ..
I'm not denying it. I just don't know whether to pursue because of the boyfriend part. I don't want to become one of those "surrogate" boyfriends while her boyfriend is away and then he visits and reaps the benefits.

though I would guess she was trying to break from her BF as long she ahve something else to go, and hey if she want to pay you dinner let her, normally is teh guys who does that, try to even the field a little
 

"I just moved here from Florida."

That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?

She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."

She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.

I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.

Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.

Nothing wrong with having a fück buddy, man. That's the best you'll probably get out of this relationship. From years of doing the right thing, I will no longer condemn anyone from banging a chick that wants to be banged. Always go for the gold, life's too short.

Otherwise, just let it go and find an available chick.

I think all of you have given me good advice. I'm still trying to kill the AFC within me. It's become easier for girls I don't give a **** about, but for girls that I may like just a little, that's the next step.
