"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"

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.

So, I went no-contact on her, and now she keeps contacting me...

Ok, quick background story: I met a girl, and due to the timing of things, I asked her to prom within a few weeks of knowing her. HER IL was quite high, and things were great. Prom was fun...although she had to be home RIGHT after, so nothing much happened. Lots of cuddling at prom though.

However, soon after that she went cold (perhaps it was because her sister dislikes me? who knows). So, I got away from her. I was a senior, and skipped school a lot near the end, so it wasn't too hard :D

Now, about 1.5 months later, she keeps calling/texting. I haven't replied to much of anything, and I keep the conversations to about 3-4 min when I do speak to her. I keep it playful, and use lots of C&F, to which she has responded well.

My plan: Wait until sometime next week, call her up and take her out somewhere.

Do you guys have any experience with situations like this?

UPDATE: She called again!! The second time today. However, I was watching TV and didn't answer. haha...

"She's Out of Your League"

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.

If she's the one calling and contacting you, why mess it up? Wait to ask her when she calls you again. Don't go out of your way all of the sudden if it's working for you.

Spot on mav. If her IL is very high, take advantage. You don't need to make a move if she's already making them. However, please make the move when you actually do meet up with her. It sounds like she wants it.

Thanks guys. Although I can't help but being worried she won't call again :nervous: But, oh well :D
 

"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.

I thought you said that she was calling and texting. If so, why would you be scared that she wouldn't call?

Sounds like her IL is sky high right now. If it ain't broke, don't fix it. Keep letting her do the calling, and casually suggest that she come over or that the two of you meet somewhere. After that, you know what to do!

Yeah, but if I never reply to anything she might stop. She called last night and I haven't called back.

I didn't say not to reply. How could you have a conversation with someone if you don't reply. Just don't initiate contact if you haven't been doing it in the first place (like I said, why screw up a good thing?). It's ok not to reply or answer sometimes because it really just increases her interest and causes her to second guess herself. Then her ego will get the best of her, and she'll be knocking down your door. lol

If you always answer and you're always available, then she WILL lose interest in you. You've got her wanting to prove herself to her, and that's right where you want her.

Yeah, I was thinking along the same lines. Thanks :)
