I'm playing this game right now. For a very long time I'd fight and pull her teeth out to get to the root of what's bothering her. I'd use logic traps and stuff like that and I'd be exasperated and pleased with myself at the end, but the problems were happening every week. It was killing me because we were happy all the rest of the time. Then I saw a quote from Juggler's archive on mASF: "Change her mood, not her mind." When you batter a girl with logic, eventually she has to give in. But it doesn't solve the root of the problems. You have to be emotional about it. So now, when something is up, I change the topic to something bright and exciting. We get chugging in another direction, and later on she says whatever was wrong. No muss, no fuss.

Yes, this has happened with me before.

When they start acting weird, and saying 'nothing' when you ask what's wrong, I see that as them delibrately inviting you to ask further.

She wants to say what's up, but she doesn't want to come off like a ***** if she starts dumping some 'relationship issues' and stuff.

You could try getting the girl drunk then talking to her.

That's definitely one school of thought. Then the other is that if something was really wrong, she would be honest about it. I have been in relationships where something was wrong and I asked what was up and got the "nothing" response and it was really something. But I'm in a relationship now where "nothing" pretty much means "nothing".

There is also the possibility that you think something is wrong with HER, but in reality it's YOU that's having an anxiety thing or something.

Tell her a little about yourself, but not too much. Maintain some mystery. Give her something to think about and wonder about when she's at home.

nothing...hmm.. nothing....hmmmmmmmm

nothing is actually a very interesting thing, somthing people would usually think about...

for example, when does a glass become usefull?
not when its full, no... the usefullness of a glass lays within its nothingness... you can only use a glass when it holds nothing...

so when we say nothing what do we mean? all we refer to when we say nothing is an absence... an absence of somthing that was there...true?

or is it that there needs to be nothing before there can be somthing...hmmmmmmm

Been there before brotha, and this is THE BEST way to handle it, bar none -

ME - Whats wrong?
Her - nothing
ME - Ok, if somethings up, feel free to talk about it whenever. So, anyways............

Best way. Then just let it be, and leave it up to her to bring it up......

If its something minor thats bothering her, she may eventually bring it up. If she doesn't, then who cares. If its something major like her cheating, you may just have to keep your eyes and more importantly EARS open. Watch her actions when you initiate sex. that tells EVERYTHING. If a girl has cheated her actions toward you when you get intimate will be remarkedly different than usual. She will often be holding back, passive and just not into it with the passion she used to have.

You're right, that's probably the best way to deal with it. If the girl is a reasonable person, there should be no problem with that approach. There is definitely the danger that thinking there's a problem where none exists or asking about it too much could seriously annoy the girl, too.

Yup, not only that but constantly prodding at her makes you look insecure and wimpy, and not only that but makes her less likely to talk in the first place. Instant recipe for lowering IL.

Not only that, but there may be nothing wrong at all. Think of all the times we as men have been in crappy moods, and a girl is like "whats wrong" or "what you thinking about".....and there really wasn't anything wrong, you were just moody/pissed/bad mood/etc. Just think how much it annoys you when they press and press about the issue. So its often best to just let it slide and wait for her to bring it up. :)

It also could have something to do with your recent "under the weather"ness.

This game reminds me of this email forward, honestly ********! All I'm saying is its a good job women have their "redeeming features" - otherwise I just wouldn't have the patience!

A Man's dictionary of terms for Women

1. "Fine"
This is the word women use at the end of any argument when they feel they are right
but can't stand to hear you argue any longer.
It means that you should shut up.
(NEVER use "fine" to describe how she looks. This will cause you to have one of those arguments.)

2. "Five minutes"
This is half an hour.
It is equivalent to the five minutes that your football game is going to last before you take out the trash,
so women feel that it's an even trade.

3. "Nothing"
"Nothing" means something and you should be on your toes.
"Nothing" is usually used to describe the feeling a woman has of wanting to turn you
inside out, upside down, and backwards.
"Nothing" usually signifies an argument that will last "Five Minutes" and end with the word "Fine."

4. "Go Ahead" (with raised eyebrows)
This is NOT permission; it's a dare! If you mistake it for permission, the result will be the woman will get upset over "Nothing" and you'll have a "five-minute" discussion that will end with the word "Fine."

5. "Go Ahead" (normal eyebrows)
This is NOT permission, either. It means "I give up" or "do what you want because I don't care."
You will get a raised eyebrow "Go Ahead" in just a few minutes, followed by "Nothing" and "Fine"
and she will talk to you in about "Five Minutes" when she cools off.

6. "Loud Sigh"
This is not actually a word, but is still often a verbal statement. Very frequently misunderstood by men.
A "Loud Sigh" means she thinks you are a complete idiot and wonders why she is wasting her time
standing here and arguing with you over "Nothing!."

7. "Soft Sigh"
Again, not a word, but a verbal statement. "Soft Sighs" are one of the few things that some men actually understand. It means she is momentarily content.
Your best bet is to not move or breathe in the hope that the moment will last a bit longer.

8. "Oh"
This word, followed by any statement is trouble. Example; "Oh, let me get that".
Or, "Oh, I talked to him about what you were doing last night."
If she says "Oh" before a statement, run, do not walk, to the nearest exit.
She will tell you that she is "Fine" when she is done tossing your clothes out the window,
but do not expect her to talk to you for at least two days.
("Oh" as the lead to a sentence usually signifies that you are caught in a lie.
Do not try to lie more to get out of it, or you will get a raised eyebrow. "Go ahead,"
sometimes followed by acts so unspeakable that I can't bring myself to write about them.

9. "That's Okay"
This is one of the most dangerous statements that a woman can say to a man.
"That's Okay" means that she wants to think long and hard before deciding what the penalty will be
for whatever you have done.
"That's Okay" is often used with the word "Fine" and in conjunction with a raised eyebrow "Go Ahead."
Once she has had time to plan it out, you are in for some mighty big trouble.

10. "Please Do"
This is not a statement, it is an offer.
The woman is giving you the chance to come up with an excuse for what you have done.
In other words, a chance to get yourself into even more trouble.
If you handle this correctly, you shouldn't get a "That's Okay."

11. "Thanks"
The woman is thanking you. Don't faint and don't look for hidden meaning. Just say "you're welcome."

12. "Thanks A Lot"
"Thanks A Lot" is dramatically different from "Thanks."
A woman will say "Thanks A Lot" when she is really ticked off at you.
It is usually followed by the "Loud Sigh." This signifies that you have hurt her in some callous way.
Be careful not to ask what is wrong after the "Loud Sigh," as she will only tell you "Nothing."

I've had it a few times. Never a good sign.

If asked repeatedly, it's "nothing" and "everything's fine"...

My experience shows that you need to suppress your "have a hor" syndrome and just cut her off.

This applies to most of the rules you listed
Since when did the Man need permission from the woman?

The things you listed sounds something a wimp would do.

Who cares? If you need permission from your woman to do anything...you need to be he-man bltch slapped.

This is true. There is no problem here, I was just curious. It's definitely something that has happened to me in the past though.
