What do you do when your seeing a girl and the ex bf rears his ugly head and tries getting back in the picture? Do I play the indifference card? Stories of situations such as this would really help me.
You made your case like a lawyer. Stable job. Good guy. Ready for something real. All true. All irrelevant.
She weighed your points, nodded along, felt nothing — then fell hard for some tattooed bartender with a motorcycle and a gambling problem.
Logic is where attraction goes to die. The "22 Rules" work a level deeper, on the subconscious switches that decide within minutes whether you register as a MAN or as part of the furniture.
Stop presenting evidence. Start flipping switches.
Dinner ran three hours. She laughed at everything. You walked her to her car thinking this one's locked in.
Then: nothing. Two texts. No reply. What happened?
You did what most men do on a great date. You filled every silence, answered every question, and left her with nothing to wonder about. No mystery. Nothing to sit with when she got home.
Rule 3 of the "22 Rules" changes the ending: tell her a little, hold back the rest, and let her imagination do the chasing. The ghosting stops too.

If you and her have a relationship then it should be what it is, i.e. something that doesnt invovle x's... So, let her know how you feel, but also let her know she is free to do what ever she wants, but you will also then react accordingly.. i.e. let her know... look if you not ready to be in a series relationship, we can start dating other people etc... look... dont be a *****... trust me, if a girl is really into you, her x's would be out of the picture quick... and if that is not the case.. find another girl.. keep your options open, it will make you look and feel less of needy...

She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.
Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.
The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.
Poor bastard (Him not you).Remulak said:Good points guys,
He's not back in her life but I see the beginnings of him trying to creep back in. She's really into me but he leaves her messages on her myspace and stupid stuff like that. I just wanted to know the correct response for an issue like this if anything progresses..
