You're annoying. Don't post in my topics please.
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.
You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.
Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.
She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.
Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.
Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."
You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.
She's been waiting forty minutes.
Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.
Before Rollo locks this thread....logic1 said:Some people are always worried about whats going on with other people. I dont think this is the DJ way.
This is a very good point.chevelle said:I see both sides. But what is the correct way of going about cutting ties? If a female blows you off or flakes on you, are you supposed to cut all ties or are you supposed to distance yourself? Either way, she knows your feelings have been messed with, giving her sick/twisted mind affirmation, therefore boosting her ego. It is a lose/lose situation, so what difference does it make how he reacted?
That's exactly where you want to be.ThunderMaverick said:There were so many ways to go about this. You guys are making good points about keeping her attraction level up and making her wonder about me, etc. But the point is is that I don't CARE what she thinks of me.
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.
Colossus said:I still have to side with the OP here. He handled it like a man (after that night). We all have our opinions about social network ettiquette, but come on guys. In the scheme of your life, it ultimately means crap. If he felt better by nixing her from whatever online social net he uses, fine. I or whoever may have left it, but whatever, seriously. What matters is that he recognized his mistakes and WALKED AWAY. No questions asked, he walked and learned.
Jonwon is an idiot.
TM, good for you. On to new things, end of story.
