WTF this is after her flirting with me and stuff.hey! i have been having a lot of fun hangin out with you too. But i think you should know that im not looking for a relationship. i dont want to lead you on.
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.

That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?
She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."
She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.
I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.
Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.
She is not interested. If she were, she wouldn't have said this. Basically she flirted with you because she is an attention wh*re.Paintballguy said:WTF this is after her flirting with me and stuff.
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.
ClassAct said:I don't necessarily agree. It depends on the context in which it was brought up. If it was at a high point of your interaction with her, she may have been testing you, in which case it matters much more how you responded. In that situation, I would have said something that questioned why she brought it up. I would have turned the tables and simply asked why she even brought the subject up.
On the other hand, if it occured at some point in which you were pursuing her, such as asking for a date, I would assume low interest and take a few steps back untill it's her that's pursuing you.
I just really dont want a commitment at all right now and i didnt know what you were thinking so i just wanted to tell you where i was coming from before things got complicated.
I have no idea... I kissed her two times. Usually girls dont keep hanging out with you and let you kiss them if they dont like you.Kings_royalty said:I just really dont want a commitment at all right now and i didnt know what you were thinking so i just wanted to tell you where i was coming from before things got complicated.
It's possible that things were going along fine but something happened that turned her off. Was it something that you did? Possibly.
My response would have been...
'Hey, hey...hold on a second. Who said anything about dating, much less a commitment; I was just having some fun girl, you need to relax'.
i really just want to be single i was in a serious relationship that didnt end the best and i just want a break from that and to be able to do what i want and not hurt someone else in the process. i think your an awesome guy its just not good timing and thats not fair to you.
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.

I think you are right.... after she said thisKings_royalty said:It doesn’t matter if she likes you or not bro (she was obviously into you); it's the comment that needs to be addressed. How you react to those types of ‘tests’ will define your relationship with her.
Her comment was an opportunity in disguise, an opportunity for you to set the frame and position yourself as the lead.
Personally, I LOVE those types of comments from women, they are lots of fun.![]()
I replied with "well it doesnt mean we still can't hangout and have fun"i really just want to be single i was in a serious relationship that didnt end the best and i just want a break from that and to be able to do what i want and not hurt someone else in the process. i think your an awesome guy its just not good timing and thats not fair to you.
Hit the nail on the head.. What she said was nothing to have a man period over.. It was a b*tch test pure and simple..A common one at that, and it wouldve been possible to pass it in my opinionKings_royalty said:I just really dont want a commitment at all right now and i didnt know what you were thinking so i just wanted to tell you where i was coming from before things got complicated.

Dinner ran three hours. She laughed at everything. You walked her to her car thinking this one's locked in.
Then: nothing. Two texts. No reply. What happened?
You did what most men do on a great date. You filled every silence, answered every question, and left her with nothing to wonder about. No mystery. Nothing to sit with when she got home.
Rule 3 of the "22 Rules" changes the ending: tell her a little, hold back the rest, and let her imagination do the chasing. The ghosting stops too.
and I think I have passed it honestly... Here are the emails.anointed said:Hit the nail on the head.. What she said was nothing to have a man period over.. It was a b*tch test pure and simple..A common one at that, and it wouldve been possible to pass it in my opinion
What she's really thinking, "I'm kinda attracted to you, but I think you're starting to wuss out on me here. Let's see what happens if I toss some gas on the fire. A real man won't flinch, but a wuss will run like a little red headed girl."hey! i have been having a lot of fun hangin out with you too. But i think you should know that im not looking for a relationship. i dont want to lead you on.
What she really meant to say was this "I don't want to look bad by telling you I'm not attracted to you, so I'm going to lie to you to make you feel better about the entire situation. If you still want to be an emotional tampon for me to cry to when my girlfriends are all busy then that's great. But... we need to make this perfectly clear, no part of you is ever coming anywhere near my v@gina... EVER!"HB: i really just want to be single i was in a serious relationship that didnt end the best and i just want a break from that and to be able to do what i want and not hurt someone else in the process. i think your an awesome guy its just not good timing and thats not fair to you.
