"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.

I get laid at a decent clip. A couple weeks ago, I was actually having sex with two different girls during the same week. I feel like the biggest hangup I have is not actually getting laid, I can do that pretty reliably. I'm pretty good at sex, too. I'll do whatever it takes to get the girl off and I almost always figure out what she likes. Rather, my biggest hang up comes when I start having sex with a girl I actually connect with and like.

It seems as if when I actually like the girl's personality and start to appreciate her presence in my life, her interest starts to wane. After we hung out and had sex several times (we even slept over each other's places), one of the recent girls I really connected with at a mental and physical level refused to have anymore sex with me because she felt like she was leading me on. I think what really prompted this feeling in her was that the last time we had sex, I told her "I could get into you pretty easily if you know what I mean." She responded to that comment by saying "yeah, I know exactly what you mean, but I don't want anything serious with anyone atm."

What if I had played it cool and instead of staying over her place or letting her sleep at mine, I had just told her she/I should get going? What if I hadn't made that comment? What really struck me as bizarre about this girl is that the Saturday after we had sex the previous day, I ran into her at a party and my friend overheard her complaining that there weren't any guys attractive enough to hookup with at the party. What the hell?

Was this just a case of the girl thinking she was too hot for me outside of a quick lay? The guys she actually dates are usually way better looking than me. There must've been some attraction for her to enjoy the sex that much and do it several times with me. I guess there is some great comfort in knowing that once this girl reaches around 25 and is looking to settle down, she's going to check out my facebook and say to herself, "Oh ****, blueline was cool as hell, he's got a good career going now, has a cute girlfriend, and he had a **** with a 6 inch girth. I dropped the ball on that one." I want to delete her, but I know this is going to happen.

Is it generally just a good idea to play it cool until the girl straight up asks you to be her boyfriend?
 

"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"

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.

Once you start liking a girl for more than sex you usually end up getting hurt in the end.

That's debatable to say the least...

It's your experience. My experience: amazing relationship with a girl that I appreciate for her hotness ... among many more important things. Two years into it, I don't see why I should have avoided such a tremendous blast.

stop living in fear. Start enjoying.
As long as you don't rush it and recite poems und
er her window after 3 dates :)

Yes. Sometimes she'll be looking for you to ask her to be your girlfriend first, but in such cases, her interest level will be obvious. As other posters on this site have noted, if a girl wants you, you'll know.

In the meantime, play it cool.
