"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.

Wow first cold approaches were crazy, but that story is for another thread if I decide to type it up.

I'm talking to this one girl and she says stuff like "ok bye" really quickly, so maybe its an IOD, but why do I feel like she wants me to chase? Like she is fishing for me to express more interest you know. They want me to take control of them I think.

Another girl has been giving me mad IOI through eye contact, but when I went to approach her she walked away from me into a group of friends Oh so tactfully. Now maybe I am freaking her out true from all the staring back, but suppose she really is interested then she too is looking for me to be the chaser.

So do girls want to be chased, maybe so they can "blame" you if they end up hooking up with you?

Again, maybe its the classic "no" means "yes"?
 

"How I Made Sure No Woman Ever Friend-Zoned Me Again"

She calls you when her car breaks down. When she needs help moving. When some guy she's actually dating treats her badly.

You're the listener. The reliable one. The guy who would treat her so much better, if she'd just open her eyes.

She won't. You trained her to see you as the low-effort option — the friend who requires zero risk and zero investment. Every favor dug the hole deeper.

The "22 Rules" break the pattern. You'll stop auditioning for a role she already cast and become the man she chases instead. It starts with Rule 1.

Girls are very complicated man. Sometimes they send real strong signals and then flake. The more you feel women out, the better you'll get at it. Sometimes a girl is scared of confrontation - especially in public.

Your best bet is to catch a woman when she's not with friends or anything like that. If she still shys away after that, then maybe she really is not into you.

Do girls want to be chased? Sometimes. More than less a girl wants you to run the show. Her way of showing she likes you is by looking at you or staring and looking away quickly. Now she wants you to make the move and go introduce yourself ever so confidently. Now that you're making small talk, she opens up a little bit but then may shy away again. She wants you to take the next step and say "hey how about lunch sometime- like tomorrow?" If a girl is still wanting to be chased a lot after you build rapport, move on. A lot of times these type of women crave attention from all men, which is not a good thing in the long run.

Ok, I really like girl 2, but when she runs into her friend group, it makes me uncertain as to how to approach. Is she telling me that she doesn't want me to be direct and put her on the spot? Remember, I was walking towards her when she walked to the side into the friend group, so I had to walk past and out the gym. This was deliberate too, I would bet my life on it.

God, I shouldve just did a 90 degree turn and approached right then. I know we are both feeling the awkwardness, but i won't give up without at least trying to talk. She does still look at me after all this time.

I have to play it cool so she doesn't get embarrassed with the friends, but its weird because there is like 3 girls and none know me. She is 20 and I am 22 by the way, and she went to my highschool but I never noticed her.

Ok enough babbling, how should I frame my approach?

girls want to feel validated, so do we. it's an ego-boost

that's why IOI's feel good

but if a girl is strongly attracted to you, whether or not you chased her is irrelevant. it's only when she's not sure if she wants you or not that it matters
 

"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"

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.
