"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.

Met a 22 year old through friends at a BBQ last weekend. She lives 2 hours away, but was dropping hints all night that she was interested. We later went out with a couple and effectively had an instant double-date to see a punk show. Things were good enough I guess, but she's kind of a prude and homebody. She doesn't drink, doesn't go out, and is a gamer and kind of nerdy being into anime & sci-fi.

So here's the issues:

1. She didn't seem comfortable with my touching her; she didn't reciprocate

2. She balked via text when I introduced the idea of me driving up to see her later this week, although when I called her and talked about it she sounded interested

3. She brings up during conversation about how a guy at one point went dead air on her when she friend-zoned him, as though she was hinting that's what she wants

In short, she seems very low interest at this point, but I do want to see her again. How do I manage investment levels so I'm not the one doing all the work?

What I need to do is figure out a way of going sexual with a prudish geek that doesn't drink. Tall order, eh?
 

"I'm Not Looking for Anything Serious Right Now"

When a woman says it, guys hear a confession. A heads-up. A scheduling conflict.

Here's the translation: I don't feel anything. Right now. With you.

Watch what happens when a man triggers actual attraction. The busy career, the recent breakup, the "not in a place to date" — all of it evaporates instantly. The same woman who was guarding her freedom is suddenly free every night.

The "22 Rules" explain why. When the right switches flip, her timeline rearranges itself around you.

I agree with scrouds. I don't really see anything about this girl that makes her worth the investment.
-Prude
-Low interest
-Long distance


Surely you can't be that low on plates, can you?

There are plates. She jumped to the top of the list when we hung out, but you're all right. The more I think about it the more she slides to the bottom.

I mean, hey, if she finds herself in your bed one night, that's great. But I damn sure wouldn't be wasting my time trying to develop a strategy based around such a low-chance prospect.
 

"She's Out of Your League"

You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.

Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.

She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.

Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.

Dear Nutz,
look even if she was giving positive indicators I would seriously question the value of a long distance relationship....Two hours away?....That means there and back wastes half a Day....She'd want to be good!

Just a quick update. I'm still spinning this plate and she drove 2 hours to see me and ended up spending the night this past weekend.

Give her the opportunity to see you once a week. If she somehow can't do keep it going, NEXT!
