"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.

Recently I decided to move onto this girl who I had been way into, we had a thing and it kind of ended and then she kind of kept me around to use me, and once I get into this stuff I realized that so i very recently was empowered to be like **** her and forget about her. problem is she is in my acting class, which i take very seriously, and we are partners for a scene.

last night she bailed on me saying she was sick so we rescheduled for this morning (our scene is on friday and we havent even met yet...) and i know for a fact that she went to LA a few hours later to party with her little group of friends and then this morning she texts me saying she has to go to LA for work because her boss just called her.

I texted her back and said something like "you need to stop cancelling on me. i have things to do too and its not fair that i keep having to rearrange my shcedule last minute for you."

she texted back "well its not my fault, this is my job". she wanted to reschedule for tonight at 9, but i havent replied yet

im pretty freaking pissed, but I didnt text back. at this point i have little desire to get with this girl at all, as she is just trouble, has serious baggage and just uses people. but just wondering how i should handle it. i wanted to say something like "well we should have rehearsed yesterday as planned instead of you going to LA", but i figured that was too AFC.

how can i show her that im sick of her games and that i'm not going to take it anymore, in a real, and strong frame way?
 

"I just moved here from Florida."

That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?

She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."

She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.

I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.

Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.

Dude, you dont tell the girl that she need to stop cancelling on you, you just have to be more distant when things like this start to happen.

Start making plans with other girls or friends of you instead.

When she backs away, you back away even more... let her come to you, not the other way.

The best way to show that you are sick of her game is to not show at all.

Stoping hanging out and talking with her a little and let her imagination work, you should never have an emotional reaction, let her think you dont give a s*it about it, show her that if she acts like this, you have other options and you dont waste your time with people who dont respect and appreciate your time.
