Did it happen 2 yrs later, 5 yrs later, 10 YEARS later? Anyone have any stories or know anyone this has happened to?
She calls you when her car breaks down. When she needs help moving. When some guy she's actually dating treats her badly.
You're the listener. The reliable one. The guy who would treat her so much better, if she'd just open her eyes.
She won't. You trained her to see you as the low-effort option — the friend who requires zero risk and zero investment. Every favor dug the hole deeper.
The "22 Rules" break the pattern. You'll stop auditioning for a role she already cast and become the man she chases instead. It starts with Rule 1.
Attraction runs on a clock.
She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.
The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."
One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.
Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.
I could talk to any woman I wasn't attracted to. Charming, funny, relaxed. Then a gorgeous woman looked my way and I'd become a sweating, babbling mess.
The fix took me years to find and ten minutes to learn. Nervousness and excitement are the same physical state — pounding heart, adrenaline, flushed face. Your brain just picks the label. And you can pick a better one.
Rule 16 shows you how. You feel the nerves, relabel them as excitement, and let that energy pour out as enthusiasm. Women notice the guy radiating it. They always do.
edger... forget the B.tch... find another girl, or alteast in the mean time focus on your work or career(education), or go back to the gym... Forget about her man.... Dont hope for her to come back or vice versa, just forget that she ever existed...edger said:Did it happen 2 yrs later, 5 yrs later, 10 YEARS later?

now that is good advice..... truth hurts....jophil28 said:Guys -If an EX contacts you following a breakup OF HER'S, then she is on a mission of EGO REPAIR.. You will be used for this purpose and when she is feeling more emotionally stable she will move on.
You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.
For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.
Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.
The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.
Winner, great post...it's the truth guys. If she's calling, it means she just broke up or the relationship is souring at the momentjophil28 said:Guys -If an EX contacts you following a breakup OF HER'S, then she is on a mission of EGO REPAIR..

TruthHurts, where did I mention I was thinking about my ex? I posted this because I was curious to see what everyone's experiences were..NOT for consolidation.TruthHurts said:edger... forget the B.tch... find another girl, or alteast in the mean time focus on your work or career(education), or go back to the gym...

Why would I waste my time? There literally at least 1 billion women out there. Why go back to the same one?edger said:Did it happen 2 yrs later, 5 yrs later, 10 YEARS later? Anyone have any stories or know anyone this has happened to?
Because the btch dumped you even though she said you were the best sex she'd ever had in her life and you thought she could be the one. It fcks with your head and its an ego trip!Latinoman said:Why would I waste my time? There literally at least 1 billion women out there. Why go back to the same one?
