so ive been talking to this girl on and off for several months...we've been in a relationship for about 1 month.

ive attempted to keep it mostly sexual and not get myself too attached. she is ALWAYS the one to call, text, IM me.

she seems like she is getting very frustrated, as i can tell just by being around her as well as what both my friends have noticed and her friends have told me.

she is a pretty fine ass girl and i will admit i probably have her atleast partially because of the things i learned from this site. play it cool, let her come to me, have other options, dont let her know how much i like her. i have read many experienced posters here say to keep this stuff up months into the relationship because the second she gains the power it could all be over...

when i try to explain this to my friends they think i am nuts. they tell me to talk to her, tell her how i feel, always be there for her...etc. basically stop driving her nuts with how nonchalant i am about everything . i guess i am just having trouble finding the medium.

she tells me that she feels like i am not serious about being in a relationship. that she doesnt want to be with someone she feels could walk away at any minute. that she doesnt know if we should do this anymore because of these things...

any help here guys....

Whatever you're doing now, keep doing it.

It's working.

Don't fix it if it ain't broke, as the saying goes.

Edit: Just read your new reply. You handled that well. She'll be back. Don't worry. And next time she'll be more willing to play by YOUR terms.

You could pusxy out and say, 'oh baby im sorry, deep down i care about you, i was just playing'. That would be the easy option.

When i am faced with this situation, which is not a very uncommon situation, i like to laugh and say 'stop being silly' and then show affection. Blowing over the subject and acting like nothing is wrong is the best way of dealing with this. Sometimes you need to give a little to get a little. When she threatens leaving or tries to leave, it is a good time to give a little. I am by all means as tough guy and badboy as it gets, but even i know the need for some lovey dovey affection once in a while.

Also if she brings up the 'relationship status' questions, vague searching answers are a good way forward. Dodge and distract the question, duck and weave.

'Where are we going with this?', 'We're going wherever we want to go baby'.
'Do you really want a relationship with me?', 'What i really want is you, i dont really think about all that, i dont like labels.'
'Can i call you my boyfriend, what are we?', 'We're lovers/2 soaring doves/eagles/birds flying free together'.

Exactly. Something as simple as "I think we're getting along good, but if you gotta go, then you gotta go." Would at least give this girl the idea that you think she's "getting along good."

It can't ALL be "Yeah. Okay. Whatever."

I've been in these situations before, and it just works best to give them a piece of what they want to hear.

This is :up: ... But i wouldn't get too carried away with making sure this is how it is (in this relationship and future ones)... I can say certain women who i don't really care about - are put in position where they have to do this 100% of the time. Ones i do have some feelings for - i do this in a 80/20 split. For every 8 times this contact me with an idea - i contact them twice. This can allow them to believe you care just enough...

Of course. She feels like you don't care about her. She also feels like her femininity is being challenged. When women are with an alpha male - they will do everything in their power turn him into a beta. Failure to do this CAN result in certain women going nuts. Especially if she's never been with another true alpha male before.



falconslax89 said:

It's ok to show you like her. It's not okay to give up your power. It's not ok to get needy. You can show women you care about them without doing either of those 2 things..... Your love, affection, attention and leadership should come with a price though - and that's her good behavior.... When she's acting good - you can be good back to her; otherwise you're just being an @sshole. When she's acting bad (like now) - that's the worst time i can think of to give her those things.

I stopped trying to give or listen to advice from my friends a long time ago. A Medium isn't needed, just a delicate balance.

In woman-nese, she is saying: "I want your balls and you won't give them to me!"

It's a natural process of betaisation, and this is what seperates the true alphas from the ones who are just acting.... You really have no choice right now - the position you are in is - you stand your ground - she lives with it or truthfully leaves your life (85% chance this won't happen).

If at this point - you got all chumpish and confessional about your feelings to her.... she would say, "ah ha! i knew he was just a softy under that hard frame! I knew he's give in when i threatened to take the amazing ME out of his life!!! ahhahaha"

Instead, im POSITIVE she will continue to send you texts and messages about how much she feels like you don't love her, like her, wants to really be with her, etc. Instead of being so cold in your responses back to her - LEAD HER! Tell her what to feel! It's really simple....


Jamie
im having a really hard time
4:51pmMe
with what jamie
LOL "I'm having a really hard time" from a woman through text is almost always = "im about to dump some bullsh!t on you!" ... My detector would have went off instantly... Instead of "with what jamie" I personally would have just tried to see her right away...

Jamie: "I'm having a really hard time"
Bukowski: "Well, come see me and we can have a hard time together baby"

4:52pmJamie
i just dont think we should do this anymore
4:53pmMe
ok..
If you're going to go with "ok" you must then stick by it. (i'll show you why you didn't in the next exchange).

Jamie: "I just don't think we should do this anymore" (cliche beta attempt #2)
Bukowski: "You mean laugh, have fun, relax, and enjoy each other?" (this is what i do under situations like this. and it works pretty much all the time. It's a counter-manipulation move to go against their manipulation. What you're doing is giving her an OUT though... An option to backout of what she just said. Most of the time, a woman will type something like that and sit there and think about if they want to send it or not; then when they do - they'll be nervous about the decision. - - - By giving her the options to come back in from the storm - she will most of the time.... She will either say, "no it's not that, it's...." or "you don't seem like you do that much with me...." and then you can just lead her by going more into how much fun you guys have together, how much fun it is to relax/sleep with her, etc.)


4:55pmJamie
its just really complicated and i dont need to be worrying about it. and you said all of that stuff last night that makes me think you dont want it anyways which makes me feel like were wasting our time
4:57pmMe

alright..
whatever if thats what you want
See... your response of "whatever if that's what you want" just reeks of weakness to me. I have no idea what you said last night - but im guessing you're overdoing your alphaness a little too much and bordering on being an @sshole. So, i'd say something like this....

Jamie: its just really complicated and i dont need to be worrying about it. and you said all of that stuff last night that makes me think you dont want it anyways which makes me feel like were wasting our time
Bukowski: I don't want you to worry about me either, i want you to have fun and enjoy life. There's plenty of guys out there who will have proposed marriage to you by now. I guess im just too much of an ******* for you... better you find a nice guy. (women know "nice guy" = boring. Note: she'll probably call you an @sshole at this point... but love you NO less.)

4:58pmJamie
i mean you dont want a serious relationship and that's fine but i dont want to waste my time with someone who might change his mind any minute.
Bukowski: I'll never change my mind any minute about having fun. Anything that provides that to me - sticks around. (my constant mention of "fun" is not a mistake.)


5:07pmJamie
im sorry, but honestly the last thing i need is someone who could care less if were together or not. Im not one hundred percent sure that's how it is but it feels like it a lot
lol.... her, "I'm not one hundred percent sure that's how it is but it feels like it a lot" is CLASSIC! She's basically begging for you to tell her not to go, to tell her your feelings....

"OPEN UP TO ME" in any form = "GIVE ME YOUR BALLS! Why won't you give me your balls?!?!?!" - - - Most guys (including players) lose their balls at this point.

Don't be most guys...

Don't know what's going to happen from here.... but i imagine good things if you stand your ground, and work on leading her emotions a little better...

its funny that you emphasize the fun thing, because i say that to her ALL the time. its almost a joke...she always brings up how the only thing i want to do is "have fun," as shown below.

Jami
honestly i dont know what i want you to say. but this is kind of my point...i dont expect you to fight for me and that's just shows me that you dont really care. So if you dont care why are we even doing this besides the fact that its fun?!..


bukowski-that was a great post. exactly the type of feedback i was looking for. thank you.

Going to take a wild swing at this, but all of your friends are either single or massive AFC's.

"Always be there for her"?
"Tell her how you feel"?

Tell them to STFU.


Now about this girl... you ARE doing it right. Do NOT be deterred by what she is saying. She's trying to break YOU down into something a little more AFC-ish. And I am sure that once you break down, she'll be out even QUICKER. She's testing you to no end right now.

Look at what she says here:

she tells me that she feels like i am not serious about being in a relationship. that she doesnt want to be with someone she feels could walk away at any minute.
You've been on these forums. You know we advocate "ALWAYS BE READY AND WILLING TO WALK AWAY AT A MOMENT'S NOTICE". She's basically saying: You're doing it right.

Do NOT give into her demands.
She's telling you that YOU hold the frame and that you WILL continue to hold it as long as you keep acting the way you are.

This seems crazy. Think about it:

Girl likes guy.
Girl is afraid guy will leave.
Girl wants to turn him AFC, but won't go for someone who is an AFC already.
Girl realizes she can't turn him AFC, so she stays with him and stays frustrated.

Why is she getting so mad and frustrated if she wants an AFC so bad? If this girl truly wants to "take his balls away from him," then why is she going for a DJ in the first place? Shouldn't she be going for an AFC if she wants to wear the pants in a relationship?

Because it's no fun to have an AFC who gives you his balls without a struggle.

She's rather have a struggle (even if it goes on forever).

The double bind of a woman saying, "open up to me!.... be exclusive to me." is - if you do - she loses a lot of attraction for you.

Which is why - at this point, he must stand his ground. If he decided to confess his undying love - she may or may not decide to go on from there. Same is applied if he just remains indifferent. Better he remain indifferent.

It's the same as wanting a married man, or a man who your boyfriend/husband has told you not to associate with. It's a forbidden/temptation thing.... A challenge... A rush of emotions....

Woman heaven!

Agree ^^

I am sure all of us have heard women say , "We gals love a challenge.."

What they mean is that to them, love = the brain chemical rush of snaring a 'hard to get' guy.

It's not a good idea to be nonchalant with a girl you want to have sex with and this is where alot of guys get confused.

When you are with a girl you like, you have to make sure she feels like she is the most important person in the world. If she feels you don't care about her, she won't feel wanted and sexy and you'll get nowhere. A girl is not like piece of real estate property where you can show interest in it only at the times you like


i guess i am just having trouble finding the medium.

she tells me that she feels like i am not serious about being in a relationship. that she doesnt want to be with someone she feels could walk away at any minute. that she doesnt know if we should do this anymore because of these things...



Jamie
im having a really hard time
4:51pmMe
with what jamie
4:52pmJamie

ok..

Talk about nonchalant. She's trying to be serious with you and how she feels, and you are acting like you are watching NFL football on Sunday while you are talking to her.

4:55pmJamie

She's pouring her heart out here and you are responding with "Yeah, OK, Whatever, I don't care, Meh". You definitely wouldn't make a good lawyer.

Any girl has to FEEL that you can care for her, can PROTECT her, want to have SEX with her, will LOVE her. If a girl doesn't FEEL it when she's with you, she will back out very fast.

He wouldn't. Don't believe everything you read, especially around here.
If the girl is really into you, she will be thrilled if you are willing to commit to her. If not, she's not a good match for you.

I agree with DonJuan11 here that the OP is carrying things too far with his "yeah, ok, whatever" replies. It's okay (and perhaps even desireable) to give less than she does. But you have to give SOMETHING back to her. In his second set of text examples (post 15) he does this (only sexually though), even if it does all sound a bit weird. You can't get through life giving only nothing. At some point she will tire of it and go to someone who gives her some attention.

The principles people are advocating in this thread is to be a challenge, be able to walk away, and don't be needy. Those are all good things, but IMO the OP has overdone it in his first set of texts. If he didn't want to get mushy with her, he could have given some teasing or C&F instead of just "yeah, ok, whatever".
