so the girl and i split a few weeks ago, now she tells me that she wants our relationship to be the way it used to be. i told her she'll have to wait and see what happens. what should have i said, what should i say now?
"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"
She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.
Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.
The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.

"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.

There is a reason you broke up in the first place. save yourself the heartache, and dont get back together, chances are you'll break up again.
"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"
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.

that comment is SOOOO AFC its ridiculous.
Be a bigger man, and shrug it off. Dont let her have that kind of power over you.

If you do that, what makes you any better than her? It makes you WORSE.Originally posted by icallug
alright thanks guys, but the reason she broke up with me is because she had feelings for someone else
i wanna play this chick so bad, and get her back
Just because she made a boneheaded move doesn't give you the all-clear to do the same. She hurt you, but where does hurting HER back, lead you? All that it does is make her feel bad, and makes her want to retaliate at you.
In the end you BOTH end up feeling terrible, and now you've wasted however many weeks or months of your life on this whole situation
It's a vicious cycle best avoided, my friend.
