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.
I could talk to any woman I wasn't attracted to. Charming, funny, relaxed. Then a gorgeous woman looked my way and I'd become a sweating, babbling mess.
The fix took me years to find and ten minutes to learn. Nervousness and excitement are the same physical state — pounding heart, adrenaline, flushed face. Your brain just picks the label. And you can pick a better one.
Rule 16 shows you how. You feel the nerves, relabel them as excitement, and let that energy pour out as enthusiasm. Women notice the guy radiating it. They always do.
Give it time and keep on working on yourself my friend, you're putting in work on yourself and keep that up.Day 37
Going NC was not that hard.After months of her basically toying with me,keeping me on the hook we eventually had a talk where after confronting her for her intentions she told me that she wants to talk to me every now and then because I am a person she loves and appreciates.Yeah,right...I didn't buy it for one second.I was determined to move on from this ungrateful woman.
The first couple of days were hard.However I had already decided it is time for me to become a real man and stop acting like the biggest sissy on this side of planet earth.What followed was better than expected.I started focusing on me and my goals in life,had sex with another chick,hitting the gym again,making and spending more money for the things I like doing and having a great time overall.Days came that I did not even think about her once.
Then,two days ago it happened.I was out with my mates when suddenly she walked by hand in hand with another dude.Hard to describe what I felt at that moment.I was waiting for my "princess",the holy,golden vag I put so high on that pedestal while she was getting her brains f*cked by someone else.Great,one more reason I felt glad I still had the chance.Even the smallest possibility of me having second thoughts about this was erased.
However I got to be honest with you.Emotionally I feel so empty when I picture this.moment.I clearly have been completely replaced.Everything I once were for her is now someone else.I am now totally insignificant in her life,a thing of the past,something long dead and gone.I know it sucks and I don't want to be the crazy lunatic still longing for something no one cares about.I know mine was the right decision,after all I broke up with her because she was a controlling freak who wanted to lock me up in a cage inside her home so all my life would revolve around her.
I hope I can use this as a hard lesson taught in life and fuel for becoming a true alpha like a man is destined to be.No woman should have the power to control your head like that.But since that event I have a problem concentrating on stuff I want and have to do.I have to develop the right mindset I guess.
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.
Welcome. You're a newcomer and you helped a long time DJ like me stay NC last week.Thanks watching you guys have the strength to keep with this no contact inspires me.
NC is like a muscle, you have to consciously be aware of it and use it to your advantage. Also, no one can force you to do anything. You have free will. If you wanted to ignore the gift, ignore the gift or let her leave it on the doorstep or with a roommate until she gets the clue.Still working on this ... NC would now be on 4 days. Still hit reset because she got me something on Monday and I was forced to just tell her that I can't accept gifts from her.
Once you're both broken up, you're not obligated to feel like you're leaving her hanging.I feel bad with leaving her hanging.
It's good that you realize what they are. Ignore and act accordingly. She'll get the hint and move one when she sees you've successfully moved on without emotional strings attached. Responses to texts, emails or phone calls always keeps you attached. This is where you need to detach if you want to truly move on.I know these are only breadcrumbs.......
When a woman says it, guys hear a confession. A heads-up. A scheduling conflict.
Here's the translation: I don't feel anything. Right now. With you.
Watch what happens when a man triggers actual attraction. The busy career, the recent breakup, the "not in a place to date" — all of it evaporates instantly. The same woman who was guarding her freedom is suddenly free every night.
The "22 Rules" explain why. When the right switches flip, her timeline rearranges itself around you.
Yes, and the fact that you laid out a manuscript for us and then had to ask that question at the end means you made very little progress, which you should have in 50 days. When you heard it was her, why didn't you hang up immediately?Day 50
So today, I was sitting around with my class mates having a beer when I got a phone call, Now I answered cos I thought it could be my counseling assessment or something (I self referred for some counseling\ therapy)
It was her (I didn't know it was her cos I don't have her number saved)
She starts saying why have you been talking to my family and met my brother.
I told her how it was, they contacted me first and he wanted to meet me.
She didn't buy it, no surprise. And said delete all their contacts they want f*ck all to do with you, and don't piss me off anymore then I already am.
I said what are you going to do, she said don't worry I'll see you soon
I said no you're not.
And hung up.
I've been feeling like crap for the last 49days cos of this shizz, but after today I'm fed up and starting not to give a damn about her or this whole thing.
If she comes to my home or anything like that I'll just get a restraining order on her or something. As for her family members part of things. If they want to talk to me then cool, If they don't then cool. Im not gonna reach out to them though and I have never done so.
That's it for now. Let you guys know what happens, also does this mean I'm back on day 1 again?

Hang in there dude. You are doing great. You know in your heart you need to do this, ignore that demon monkey on your back telling you to reply.Day 5
9 texts and 4 calls since NC. I love her, think about all day, but NC.
Don't respond!She wrote to me again. Stupid whatsapp shows status and she wrote to me when I was online. However, I did not read it or answer it... Wondering if I should answer back curtly and tell her I need space or just keep on ignoring her?
