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.
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.
Personally I would tell my friend, "If she's there I'm not." But it sure does sound like she wants you back.Originally posted by Jariel
I would stay clear of her except that she's clinging to my best friend.

She's trynna to emasculate you,cut her off.
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.
Either that or she likes knowing the fact that she has him wrapped around her little finger....or she atleast she wishes she does. If he just keeps ignoring her she'll realize her little game ain't workin.Originally posted by Albion4

First you need to ask yourself what you want.Originally posted by Jariel
Ok, so she just invited me to hang out (as part of a group) tomorrow. I told her I have plans and left it at that. I've just seen that she has since written me an email saying I'm not myself and asking me what's wrong. I think she may be ego tripping that she has fazed me.
So, in your opinion, should I tell her straight that I want nothing to do with her and her games, or should I continue being aloof with her?
Come on man, what's up with you?Originally posted by Jariel

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.
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.
She is doing it because she is a hor and this is what hors do!!!! Secondly, she knows that it will "get" to you and hurt you and hors like to put salt in an open wound because this is what hors do!!!Originally posted by Jariel
I could understand if I had hurt or dumped her, but she dumped me, so anyone know why she is pulling this sh1t and how to deal with it?
Yes you're right that ignoring her isn't helping. She's still contacting me, one day being nice and friendly, then the next she's trying to get under my skin.Originally posted by Microphone Fiend
Am I the only one noticing ignoring the problem isn't making it go away?
Confront her, maybe one on one and tell her what you think is going on and you aren't comfortable with it
