"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"

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.

One of my girl friends calls everyone kid.......It's just the way some people talk.
 

"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."

Attraction runs on a clock.

She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.

The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."

One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.

Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.

i would say you over-reacted, she was just being playful. it wqas a mistake so i woud just play it off like it was nothing, dont bring it up unless she does
This. I once had this broad calling me kid (except I am younger than her) and just let it slide, i felt a lil' offended at first but i gave no reaction whatsoever and got good results. Do nothing, it does wonders.
 

"Why Women Dump the Guys Who Try the Hardest"

You paid for dinner. You drove. You said "whatever you want is fine" every single time. All the effort, no expectations.

And she left anyway — probably for a guy who makes her pick up the pizza.

Painful. Also predictable. Her mind quietly concludes that anything requiring zero effort from her is worth exactly zero. You became a free sample, and free samples get taken for granted.

The 22 Rules flip the dynamic. Small shifts that get her investing effort, money, and time in you — until SHE'S the one afraid of losing YOU.

If a chick calls me a kid, I let them know about it. I might not get pissed or over react but I let them know through my words and actions that they have insulted me. In my opinion, if someone insults or belittles you, you don't have to put up with it. Either don't be with persons like that or let them know about it.

However there are situations where someone calling me a kid could probably be fine, but there would be never romance involved.

It's not that big of a deal. I've had a girl call me kiddo through text before... I was like wtf for a second but after, I really thought nothing of it, and said nothing to her about it.

I let your immature remarks go past this being an internet forum.

It really comes down to situation and the way the message is percieved. But, in my opinion, if someone you want to be romantically involved is calling you "a kid" you are in a bad shape. If I would call you "a retard" would you let that slip too. It could be said in a funny or uninsulting way yet it would still send a message which in my opinion is not "innocent".

and btw, I have only never been bullied a bit by older students and never the ones same age as me. Once some kid was laughing behind my back in a lecture and I went straight to him and told him to stop. He never did it again. Quess I'm immature but I don't have to put up with anything I don't like.

Heh, one of my co-workers once called me "son", I was like, "Aww, thanks ma, you're the best!" It was pretty funny.
 

"I'm Not Looking for Anything Serious Right Now"

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.

Next time a girl calls you kid, tell her "that's right, when are you going to babysit me?"

Bring on those rep points... my inner game is starting to shine.

I think donG. has a good point. (Sorry, didn't notice the page jump.) I mean, sure you over reacted, but it was a **** test if you think about it. The girl probably was baiting for some reaction and at least you responded proper. I used to have a GF who was like a 9.5 and she used to pull this crap on me all the time, but in VERY subtle ways. (like asking if the 'little boy' liked his...[whatever.]) Lucky for me, I usually missed it and looked like I didn't care what she thought. When I did catch though I always turned it into a joke at her expense rather then mine.

But now, your goal should be either to accept it, or try to avoid it. If she brings it up tell her you had an awful day, and it was all her fault. Which can be used for real good teasing material, tell her some outlandish story about how your dog died, you lost all you money gambling, and that you couldn't stop the doom ray today, and your super powers are starting to fade with age... Then it seems funnier then whats gone on. Or you simply diffuse with an apology and "lets move on" as everyone else said.
