"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.

Hello most worthy followers of the DJ forum . . :up:

. . .THis one perplexes me a little . . So here's this girl who I met briefly . . About 10 days later she sends me a private message on a forum and her phone number . . .:D . . .All good so far!:woo:

. . .We chat and arrange to meet . . .So it transpires she's breaking up with her boyfriend and all that . . .After spending a few hours with her, I feel she has not given me a red light, but neither a green . . .:yawn: .. . .But irrespective , I still had a nice time hanging out with her . . .

. . . . . .So after we part company, the penny really drops . . .She texts me the same evening asking if I would mind not texting her for a while as she needs some space and she would like to be alone . . .It seems she had bad experiences with men (or so she tells me) . . .:cry:

. . .. Right . .So here's the question . .

. . . .I told her it was fine, and to take it easy, and stay in touch . .

Did I do the right thing???I was a little pissed at such irrational behavior - to drag me out, spend time with me, and then ask me the same evening not to text her . . .:nervous: . . .Or should I have told her that I had a problem with that kind of bahavior and just tell her not to waste my time . . .Clearly, the girl has a bit of luggage up there, but the way I see it is that there is no point making her do something she's not comfortable with, or did I show weakness . . . .:down:

Have I now lost the initiative??:box: . .I consider myself strong and savvy enough to deal with such things, but everygirl is a unique challenge!
 

"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"

You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.

Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.

Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.

Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.

She has baggage, as you've said.

Since she does, I see no problem with what you did. There would've been no point in calling her out because obviously shes having legit guy issues. All it would've done is futher complicate things for her.. yes you gotta be an alpha, but not always an *******.

Of course don't run to her like a puppy and be her beck and call.. go do your thing, meet new women, if she contacts you go from there.

Thank you for the contributions guys!:up:

. . .But how's this as an idea . . .She does text me occasionally to see how I am . . .Next time she does . .Without being aggressive and sparing the melodrama , I have the mind to say : - "What do you want from me???;) " . .That way I can just say, I don't want or need her as a friend, and cut my losses, or should I just go along with her timebeing at least and let it all develop naturally????:whistle: :whistle:

Answers on a postcard!

i have only one question

do you really think this chick is worth spending that much time on?

now i'm not into the whole "wham-bam-thank you ma'am" mentality, but there are some cases where its better to cut your losses and move on
 

"She Laughed All Night. Then She Ghosted You. Here's Why."

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.

Just spend time with her, show her YOURE The man, not a shoulder to cry on.

You seem to be doing just fine, keep it up.

why are you analyzing this situation so much ? Don't text her like she asks, and pursue other girls until she gets her head out of her a$$. Then she will crawl on back if she wants to, and u can continue your game on her.

Again . .Thank you for the contributions guys . . .

. . .To answer the above question, to me she's not a question of time . . But this is a situation where for me there is no cler cut answer, and its interesting now to navigate through these waters . . .As I mentioned . .Every girl is a unique set of problems and a unique set of solutions . . .

. . . This not of pivotal life importance . . . But at the same time, its always a shame to lose a girl you may like because you have jumped the gun . . .

. . . . .Thanks again, and I'l keep you posted!:up:
