Does it mean the game is over on the spot?
Seniors - throw some light on this folks.

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.

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.
yep. The trick here is to not look disappointed. Chicks love to get a reaction out of guys that states you wanted them, it makes em fell all warm and fuzzy. Act as if she said she has 10 cats at home. Have the attitude that she just disqualified herself to you and now you're relieved that you can move on to something better.VladPatton said:I agree with Mauser. You've done your deed, and whether or not the boyfriend exists is irrelevant.
It's a no-joy for you, so you just say "Ah well, ok, have a good one, great talking to you" and you make your exit, like a confident man with options does.
Yes. Either that or she doesn't want to be with you. At least not in a girlfriend/boyfriend relationship with at that time.Maximummax said:Does it mean the game is over on the spot?

My guess is you were tepid in your first approach 6 months ago so yeah, she probably found someone that was probably more assertive than you were. I would look somewhere else if I were you. Best of lucks.Maximummax said:actually this chick works in hair salon, when the second time i went there(this was actually six months ago), i said lets have a drink, for that she said she just moved into a new apartment and blah blah .. so i took it easy and moved on.
this time after several months i get to see her, she mentioned "My boyfriend" in the conv, i took it easy.
the next day, i went to a grocery store very close to that salon,she sees me and greets me" Hey you". i had a small conv, didn't hit on her or anything
and we parted. ENd of story.
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.
That is my normal response and it is like putting chum into the water - you would be surprised of how competitive women are to catch an eligible bachelor so that they can parade him amongst their friends like a prime stallion or something.Dear Max,
You respond "Iwould be more surprised if a Woman as attractive as you didn't"..
All life is simply about what your self-respect dictates and how much you're willing to work through.Mauser96 said:You have me confused. If so, does it matter if she does? Well, it does. Because if she is really committed to him, I don't want to spend the whole evening bugging her, making a complete fool of my self, until she tells me finally "Fvck off". So no, I won't do that.
If not, does it matter? Yes, it does. Because if she doesn't but says she does, that means she is not interested. I don't want to spend the whole evening bugging her, making a complete fool of my self, until she tells me finally "Fvck off". So no, I won't do that.
It is about self-respect.
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.
