So I was hanging out with my ex the other night. As we're getting ready to leave she kissed 2 of her guy friends goodbye on the lips (a little peck). WTF?!
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.

:nono:So I was hanging out with my ex the other night.
Exactly. If she's your X, you have no business hanging out with her. You have put yourself in that position, now you have to deal with it.Blusher said::nono:
She's your ex, why do you hang out with her?
Why would you give a **** what she does with other guys? She's your ex.
Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.
You've been "getting ready" for two years.
She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.
Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.
Somewhat. I'm kind of feeling her out to see if she's the right chic for me. I've been watching her behavior pretty close. I'm def not chasing her like that though. Still "sarging."Rondavu said:Maybe he's trying to get back with his ex?
Not exactly. But I am French and that's how I used to greet American tourists on a trip to Paris.Maybe she's European. I hear Europeans sleep with strangers as a way of greeting them.
(Sigh) I'll try to make a long story short.Blusher said:A more interresting question would then be : Why did you split up in the first place?

My side:
1. I was acting like a girly-man and not standing up to her
2. Communication
3. Being overly available and not being a challenge made her interest level drop
4. I failed too many of her "tests"
After reading a lot and finding this site I realized 1, 3, and 4.
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.
your acting like a girly man now, your the guy who posted about his mate GF having a male friend and your now the male friend, mmmm intresting how you look at things. Take a step back for a second and see the bigger picture here.HellHathNoFury said:(Sigh) I'll try to make a long story short.
She broke up w/ me b/c...
Her side:
1. she felt that she was treating me like **** at times
2. Communication was missing

Onitus at times man you have it now 24/7 it is plain to see.HellHathNoFury said:Yes I have been suffering from oneitis at times. After a month of drama I left her alone and cut off all contact for about a 2 weeks. She'd call and text and I wouldn't return them. She approached me when I was out telling me she missed me. I gave in and started banging her again, only on weekends. I'd never call her. She'd always text or whatever. At times it would seem like she's coming around. I've given her all sorts of ****, and take no more dookie from her. If I see something I don't like I tell her like it is.
