"The Kiss of Death Mistake"

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.

I'm play drums and about 6 months ago I joined a band who have a really hot singer. She started taking an interest in me, started emailing etc. She has a boyfriend so I played it cool. The messages got more and more sexual. After a while we started going out once a week or so but that all stopped when her boyfriend got suspicious, but she would still email all the time. Anyway things were not moving forward - I got fed up with the lack of progress so I started not emailing her as often, maybe just a few times a week to try and raise her interest level further. It didn't seem to affect her much but she would moan from time to time that I didn't pay her as much attention.

Recently though (from about 1 month ago) she seems to have lost all interest, seems to just want to be friends. I have tried different things to raise her interest level back but nothing seems to work. I really like her and don't wanna be stuck in no man's land. We have band practice once a week which is difficult and means I have to see with her. She's still a bit flirty. Her emails are now non-sexual. Do I move on or what?? How should I act around her and should I reply to her email? Any help would be appreciated - thanks.
 

"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.

Dude, how old are you? You guys are e-mailing sexual back and forth? Most people would be using text messaging, just found that pretty odd. What do you mean exactly by go out once a week too?

I just don't get who exchanges e-mails for contacts, then sits there e-mailing sexual **** back and forth together. As opposed to text messaging of course. If this was like 1999 that would be more believable.

But, in the event you're not trolling. Why are you wasting your time? You obviously ****ed it up if you went out w/ her and nothing happened and she puts you in the friendzone. Get over her, 4reel.

In situations like this, I always consult the Bible. It's stated very clearly, if a girls interest level is low, or you even suspect that it is dropping in any sort of fashion, you NEXT her.
 

"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.

Yeh guess so...I wish I could get her out my life completely so I can move on but I'm in the same bloody band. Maybe it's best I leave and find another band.

IDK how good of a band it is / where you live but, where I live it's REALLY hard to find a good/decent band or individual people for that matter but I only live in a city of a pop of like 60+K w/ some smaller surronding cities.

I wouldn't bail on the band.(Unless it is really easy to get a new one I guess) I know it's hard to not want that which is unattainable(especially when shes teasing you apparently) but you shouldn't let yourself get so hung up on someone who's taken already. Get her off her pedestal and start talking to other chicks who aren't getting ****ed already.

I'll see how it goes and whether I can get over her whilst still seeing her. Thanks for the advice it's helped. Sometimes hard to think rationally when you have you head played with.

I agree. Start dating other women. You'll find that you care significantly less about your lead singer crush after even a couple of dates with decent women.
