"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.

Actually found a girl I thought I could have a good convo with. Get her number, we start talking, ask her out, she says of course :).

Message the next arvo telling her I'll pick her up at 8 and we'll go into the city, she messages me back 2 hours later saying, hey I'm gonna cancel, my uncle sorta passed away last night.

My firsts reaction was that she flaked. No girl would say 'my uncle kinda passed away.' But I thought i'd message telling her its cool, hope shes feeling alrite and offering my condolences.

Message her on Friday, asking how she is? No response.

I reckon I was right the first time when I thought she used it as an excuse.

Im not angry or depressed, Im just more shocked a girl would go to that length. Sorta sad, how messed up women are nowdays.
 

"I'm Not Looking for Anything Serious Right Now"

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, believe it.

My ex last year told me a few hours before my birthday celebration that she couldn't make it because her brother's Father in law was having emergency surgery and someone had to look after his kids, but that she was going to "try her best" to get out of having to babysit and attend. She sent me a self-serving text near midnight that she was still waiting on her mom (I think) to show up and relieve her of babysitting duties, but that she hoped I was having an amazing time with amazing friends and family on a memorable night blah blah stream of bullsh*t. Funny how she took me out for a beer the night before, as if to absolve her in advance of what (I'm suspect) she had planned all along - to flake on me. And yes, I wound up getting into a LTR relationship with this girl despite everyone telling me that if she didn't counter offer (which she did, but never followed through) it was high time to kick her to the curb, which I didn't do and now I'm here trying to tie up all my AFC loose ends. I asked for it!

That there was my own personal experience that yes, you will get fed some serious BS on occasion and the best you can do is make sure you don't stand in line to get a second serving sent in your direction.

One time, my sister and her friend were talking in the living room. My dad and I were watching a game when her phone rang. She picked it up and it was a guy from her class asking her out. She lied and said that her coworker just passed away yesterday and she's with their family.

Which was a terrible lie considering she doesn't work. My dad made her call him back and tell him she was lying and would like to go out with him. Guess what? She ended up liking him and now they're going out. Smh.

Are you that naive or desperate?
Some guys sorta deserve to deal with garbage...
 

"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"

Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.

You've been "getting ready" for two years.

She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.

Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.

I would delete her entirely. Accept that you have failed with this girl and move on.

The dude is just sharing his experience, no need to be hostile. Could happen to anyone. He knows its BS.

Lol cheers for sharing your expierience dudes.

Yeh I was more shocked that she'd say something like that. I thought I heard it all till then. I deleted her number of course, no point keeping it, deleted her as a friend off fb too, no guy should put up with that s.hit.

Hahaha, "sorta". That cracked me up. Anyways, it doesn't matter. If it's an excuse you're done, and if it's legit she wouldn't be in a dating mood anyways.

"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.
