You seriously gotta stop being needy and get yourself an education on how to deal with women.
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.

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.
yes you are right.... im trying to.FM 3321 said:You seriously gotta stop being needy and get yourself an education on how to deal with women.
Looks like she's got one tooWell, every b!tch needs a AFC-lapdog-emotional-tampong.
dude have fun massaging her feet and painting her toenails lmaoLong story short, I am hanging out with her thursday.
dude don't get down on yourself some ppl can't even get a friend who is a girlPaintballguy said:whatever im gonna change
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.
It's people like you and other AFC's (not calling you AFC) that give people like HIM false hope in getting his 'one-itis' girl thinking that he'll just get rejected and move on, but wat happens in REALITY is that he finds some reason to not let her go and hang onto some glimmer of hope and he ends up wasting much more time than he should also frustrating himself in the process....Christ no need to be so down on Paintballguy. Have you met up with her since, if not when you do try and escalate kino and see if she is receptive. There's far too much negativity on these boards. Whats the worst that can happen? She rejects him and they are just friends. As aelux said, she might have hot friends. Meeting her for a few hours on a Thursday to see what happens is not a massive sacrifice. There seems a few guys here who think short of raping you, a girl is not interested.
what do you think girls do when they see a guy walk in the room with a hb - they start peacockingCod3r said:It's people like you and other AFC's (not calling you AFC) that give people like HIM false hope in getting his 'one-itis' girl thinking that he'll just get rejected and move on, but wat happens in REALITY is that he finds some reason to not let her go and hang onto some glimmer of hope and he ends up wasting much more time than he should also frustrating himself in the process....
Girls like the one he's dealing with especially with the quote...
"You're too cool to talk to me now, and I liked you too"
PLEASE, I've dealt with 100's of these girls on my way out of AFC-hood, they are nothing but attention wanting whoo0res that want loser dudes hanging on their **** so they can brag to their friends about how many losers they have. Wouldn't surprise me if they get together on the weekends and compare each of the losers they have and have a competittion to keep collecting more...
I know AFC's like this guy, they never learn. You can't be easy on them, they need the harsh reality, plain and simple....

Everything I've done with her physically, she hasnt pushed me away. If I initiate kino with her, she will do the same on me. I've made out with her the past two times... I don't really know. I'm just gonna get her to get in the hot tub tomorrow and see what happens.JustDoItAlways said:NEVER, EVER, EVER, EVER ... listen to what a girl says (or especially writes.)
Listen to what she does.
This email means absolutely nothing.
If anything, it is a good sign. It means she is considering getting it on with you (if she wasn't even thinking about it she would not have brought it up.)
Just ignore BS like this and keep pushing until the girl tells you through HER ACTUAL ACTIONS that she isn't into you (as in she will or won't fvck you.)
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.

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.
Paintballguy said:WTF this is after her flirting with me and stuff.
Pretty obvious, but at least you didn't paint her toenails... its a win/winCod3r, I can see your point about a guy getting attached and its a valid one. However, Paintballguy has made out with her the past two times they've met! After the last time, she's spewed some bs at him but will still meet up with him to share a hot tub.
That doesn't sound like a "all hope is lost situation" to me. JustDoItAlways is right, play it smooth and try and escalate. If she rejects your approaches you have your answer.haha your right the ***** backed out so i deleted the number...
for sure... from now on i gotta make sure i dont do that again.Cod3r said:Pretty obvious, but at least you didn't paint her toenails... its a win/win
