"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.

Why is it soooooo hard to get over a girl ?

I was thinking today "why I just can't get over this girl?".I don't love here.she is not that attractive,I didn't see/contact here for about 2 weeks...
And I just can't understand.

The thing is that I moved about 4-5 years ago to another country (where I leave now) ,no parents,no friends,no social circle...and it wasn't soooo bad (even if I didn't have much to do and was kind of all alone for 4 month - no new friends,no girls).
So why I miss so much a girl that I dated for 3-4 month ??? I mean I left in my country,all my best friends,all my family (and I didn't visit them for 1 year) and it wasn't that bad as is it is with this girl (that I knew for only 4 months) ????And I didn't move when I was a child,I mean I had very cool social circle,lots of girls...and didn't felt that "thing" as for this girl, if you know what I mean.

I just can't understand :nervous:

PS: I did have a lot of girls/girlfriends before this one so it's not like she was my "first"
 

"You Can't Argue a Woman Into Liking You"

You made your case like a lawyer. Stable job. Good guy. Ready for something real. All true. All irrelevant.

She weighed your points, nodded along, felt nothing — then fell hard for some tattooed bartender with a motorcycle and a gambling problem.

Logic is where attraction goes to die. The "22 Rules" work a level deeper, on the subconscious switches that decide within minutes whether you register as a MAN or as part of the furniture.

Stop presenting evidence. Start flipping switches.

Because guys attach their happiness, their well being and their purpose on the livelihood of a woman (men do this with their careers too). It's as if their existence is only as secure as that relationship. Sever the relationship and it's akin to removing a limb or even worse, some vital organ.

because you arent truely happy without her.

you gotta be happy and enjoy being single if you wanna be happy and enjoy a relationship.
 

"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.

This is not a problem ;)
But I just was comparing this two situations:
1.Move to another country alone (no friends,girls for 4-5 month) and it was almost no problem
2. Broke up with a girl (that ,as I sad, I am not in love,not very attracted physical to her) that I knew only for 4 month (and it wasn't thaaaaat big of relationship to be depressed about),but still it's much-much worst.

I just don't get.

Because you wanted it to turn out differently. Maybe you know that you could have done things differently.

Because you didn't put yourself first.
 

"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"

Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."

You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.

She's been waiting forty minutes.

Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.

It is because you fell in love with her. It is a naturally occurring thing. It is hard to say why you would have fallen for her specifically but your association with her caused a change in your brain that makes her matter more than what is logically observable.

Thanks for support.

I know that's the "logical" explanation,but I am very in control of my life (I don't need external stuff for me to be happy) so...I don't know

That's an interesting thought,but I just don't feel in love.

Hope I'll get over it soon.And no girls for me for a while.I am going to concentrate on my work/my friends.

Yogy, breakupps are like drug withdrawal.
You got used to the chemicals in your brain and body and how you Felt with her.
You also enjoyed the increased Size of your Personal Boundaries, and your Pooled Resources.
Once that's gone, you feel ike you have nothing.

This is because you really DID not have much to begin with before you met her.

The WEAKER you are BEFORE you meet a woman, the WEAKER you will OFTEN BE AFTER you break Up with A woman.

Remember that.

You don't really MISS HER, you MISS the feelings and you are REALIZING the VACUUM and VOID you HAD and have ALWAYS Had in Your Life, EVEN when you were with 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.

You're not physically attracted to this girl and you can't get over her? Maybe you attach your image to having a girl, then. When you attach your image to that, you'll have a poor self-image when you don't have a woman. I think we've all been there.

Guys who are still Hooked on the Validation from Females needle are in the worst shape often after a breakup.

Their lack of Masculinity becomes shockingly evident and they hate themsleves for it, and they want that woman back and her validation of him too.

Yup. This is why it's important to not judge yourself for being an AFC for still having some sort of feelings when you think you should "just get over it!". You don't just get over an addiction, it takes some time.

And yeah, if you aren't strong before you'll be weaker after. This is why you have to refuse to buy into the myth that a girl is going to make you happy. You make you happy, first. Then you can be happy with a girl. How can you be happy with a girl if you didn't have that genuine happiness first?

Having already met the woman of my dreams, I no longer feel the need to be offended when a woman rejects me. She does not know who's in my corner.

Poonster, buddy..We're ALL in your Corner, big guy.

Don't forget it, man.
:up:


"WE NEVER get "Rejected"..........WE only find out if a Woman has good taste!!!!!!!!!"

"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.
