"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.

Dated this chick for around 3 months. Lotsa little problems but we worked thru them. All the sudden over the course of a week she goes from head over heals in love to "uncertain." So I said fine, cya later, have a nice day. And she gets angry cuz I don't want to be friends. I felt and still feel like she was trying to back burner me so I'd be there if her plans didn't work out.

Now she is comin back and trying to get in touch with me and getting pissed when I don't answer. When I do answer, she goes through again and again why we wouldn't work out then she asks if I understand and I say; "It doesn't matter if I understand, if you feel those things, then thats all that matters." I'm playing a lil coy and refusing to tell her I still care about her or not.

And tonight she asked me 'hypothetically', if we got back together, could we work certain things out. And I once again acted like I didn't give a damn and said that some we probably could, some we probably couldn't.

Then after she is done and frustrated trying to interigate me, she gets pissed and says "whatever, I don't care if you don't" Yet she always contacts me again.

Is she just looking for the best deal she can get with respect to keeping me on the back burner (which I have made quite clear I am not going to do)?

Or is she just testing me and see how far she can push me around?

I dunno. Gladly I am maintaining well and got prospects already.

"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.

when i broke up with my ex she pulled the same sh*t. saying lets be friends and back burner me. I would give her a little space and time. then i would be like i cant make any decisions for you but im not going to stick around if thats what u want. i dont know sometimes you gotta be willing to say if you want it like this then this is what im going to do. just tell her how you feel and be like if you dont like it then im done with you. basically overall give her the fake exit routine.

That is basically what I have been doing. I'd say it is working since she still gets in touch constantly even tho after every convo she basically tells me to screw off...I think cuz I show complete indifference vs. how good I used to make her feel.

place to place.
she's testing you. i've had women do the same thing. they want to break up and then they give you the reasons why it wouldn't work. then when you say good-bye, who calls back....the ex. it's like they want you to beg them for their company, like you made some sort of mistake.

a couple of years ago i suspected that an ex wanted to taste the grass on the other side, because she was always looking for an excuse why we shouldn't go out anymore. when i said o.k, nice knowing ya. she wanted to be friends, i said nope i gotta go. a couple of weeks later who calls me wondering what i'm doing, i said yeah we should be friends...but get this, there was a twist. i had met a great girl and i told my ex how this new girl was the greatest and how i was glad that we broke up cause i never would have met a girl like this. she got mad and jealous and said she called and that she wanted to give it another go cause she missed me. i told her sorry but friendship was all i was looking for. she hung up.

through the year i got drunk phone calls from her and she got psycho. finally she stopped one day. what a nutcase
 

"I just moved here from Florida."

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.
