"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 just wanted to see what you fellas think of text messaging in regards to talk to the ladies.i use it randomly to ask if someone wants to get lunch or such but not for conversations.do you know of any bad/good that could come from using text service?
 

"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"

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.

Heres the list from bad to best:

Online dating website > Aim > Text messaging > Answering machine tagging > phone > in person.

Only use text messaging when you're in a situation where it is rude or not practical to talk. And even then keep it to the bare minumum.

So if you're just using it to set up a lunch date that's fine, but if you have the option call her.

Obviously texting has a different vibe in the states.

Everyone uses SMS here in New Zealand ...for formal or non-formal talk.

In my experience, you can come off completely misunderstood, and you fdon't see her reaction through msg'ing. Phone or in person is the place for the moves.
 

"How I Made Sure No Woman Ever Friend-Zoned Me Again"

She calls you when her car breaks down. When she needs help moving. When some guy she's actually dating treats her badly.

You're the listener. The reliable one. The guy who would treat her so much better, if she'd just open her eyes.

She won't. You trained her to see you as the low-effort option — the friend who requires zero risk and zero investment. Every favor dug the hole deeper.

The "22 Rules" break the pattern. You'll stop auditioning for a role she already cast and become the man she chases instead. It starts with Rule 1.

Well my ex girlfriend loved texting me. Every morning I would wake up to a text message from her that got me feeling good and wanting her. I would reply the odd time. We went to sep. schools to so we used text messaging alot so we could talk during school. It really depends on the situation. However if we had the chance to talk on the phone or in person then we'd obviously do that.

And you obviously don't want to do any asking out or talk about anything that means anything to you or her over text messaging.

I would call to set things up instead.

My girlfriend perfers to use text messaging over using the phone for most things. She's usually the one texting me and I'm usually the one calling.
