You're annoying. Don't post in my topics please.
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.
You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.
For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.
Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.
The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.
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.

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'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.
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.
