"Why Women Dump the Guys Who Try the Hardest"

You paid for dinner. You drove. You said "whatever you want is fine" every single time. All the effort, no expectations.

And she left anyway — probably for a guy who makes her pick up the pizza.

Painful. Also predictable. Her mind quietly concludes that anything requiring zero effort from her is worth exactly zero. You became a free sample, and free samples get taken for granted.

The 22 Rules flip the dynamic. Small shifts that get her investing effort, money, and time in you — until SHE'S the one afraid of losing YOU.

what does it mean if she keeps asking me about my love life?

The other day I was talking to a girl that I'm somewhat interested in. During the convo, she asked me why I broke up with my ex, and if I want a girlfriend now. Then out of nowhere she mentioned how she kinda likes some guy. I didn't really say anything and changed the topic soon after. Today I talked to her again and I told her I had plans to hang out with a girl-friend this weekend. Right away she asked me if I like the girl. What is all this supposed to mean?
 

"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."

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.

She says: Why did you break up?
Translation: What stupid crap do you pull and what do I have to watch out for?

She says: Do you want a girlfriend?
Translation: Are you looking for a relationship or are you a player?

She says: I kinda like some guy.
Translation: I'm desirable and wanted by other men

She says: Do you like that girl?
Translation: Is she your girlfriend? How hard do I have to work to make you mine?

I agree with Water T. X 4

OH, and BTW, she would not be asking these questions unless she was interested in you as a potential B/f.
Your move.

Seriously?

If so, women are insane.

That makes me feel like I need to have a listening device on me and a team in a van out back telling me what she is really saying.

BTW what is the proper way to answer those questions?
 

"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.

Answer: I'm not sure why.

She says: Do you want a girlfriend?
Translation: Are you looking for a relationship or are you a player?
Answer: I'm not sure. I think relationships just happen naturally. If it happens, it happens.

She says: I kinda like some guy.
Translation: I'm desirable and wanted by other men
Answer: Good luck. Maybe you should go for him.

She says: Do you like that girl?
Translation: Is she your girlfriend? How hard do I have to work to make you mine?
Answer: Yeah, I like her. She is a lot of fun to hang out with sometimes.

this would imply you got dumped by her (if u dumped her you would know the reason!), thus it devaluates you...= you less desirable

Thanks for the feedback. I just recently read all of Pook's 10 complied posts on Anti-Dump's the machine and that probably was pretty influential in my thinking for those responses. For me those responses are far better than what I would have said in the past where I would have probably given long truthful AFC answers. Your points about displaying high value and being funny/****y are good though and I'll consider that more in the future.

How the hell did you figure this sh*t out? +1 rep for you!

OP, she's interested in you.
