"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.

well me, my gf, and some other guy were hanging out at a wrestling tournament, and one of my gfs friends comes over and starts talking to her. i'm sitting behind all three of them and while they're talking the other guy starts like poking her and being his stupid self in a funny way, and my gfs friend tell me that she would be jealous if she was me. she then asks me if i was jealous and i told her no that i didn't really care, so that ended up bothering my gf. well she told my friend that it bothered her that i didn't care but she never told me that, so did i do the right thing in saying that i didn't care or should i have showed that i did care or said that i did??

really it didn't bother me but i'm jw.
 

"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.

You should have cared a little bit. Being a little bit jealous isn't a bad thing. While it's a good thing to show you're not insecure, not caring at all kind of puts you in that "player" mold.
