I'm American, she's Vietnamese. She's been here 3 years. I'm 30, she's 25 but she has the relationship experience of an 18 yr old. We've been dating a year. She says she's bored with the relationship and says she's not sure what she's doing. Before that I've been acting too needy, too available, and very generous in bed so I've been asking for this I suppose. I've also made her really hurt/mad by not wanting to do high trust things like co-sign on a car loan with her which I'm sure everyone else but her would think that is perfectly reasonable to not want to do.

She tried the whole, "I need a break" thing but called me the next night. I didn't answer, it pissed her off, she texted 30 mins later and I eventually responded to that.

Anyway, I need to figure out how to reverse the tide. I need to know all of the bullsh1t things people do to generate attraction/play hard-to-get like waiting till the last minute to answer calls, not answering texts right away, never texting more than twice before a response, all that silly, childish junk. I need a long list. There are also stronger things like being seen with another girl that may help. What do you think?

I think it might. A lot of the stuff works universally on everyone. It's worth a shot. I just need more detailed ideas.

well why would you want to stay with her?

there is no possible way you guys will last in the end, she's already showing you right now that she's flawed and that she will do whatever it takes to get what she wants.. breaking up with you etc. to get more power

I suggest you move on, it's a waste of energy

Well I'll move on if the opportunity arises but until it does, if it does, I prefer to work with what I have. What are some detailed ways to be the opposite of needy?

She sounds a little immature and needy herself (since she asked you to consign on a loan).

In what ways do you think you are being needy? If she isn't happy about the car thing and you still are paying attention to her she might be annoyed by that and tells you you are needy.

the opportunities won't arise tho, because you know you'll have sex waiting for you at home..... if you're going to wait for that hot girl to walk up to you one day and ask you out, you're gonna be waiting for a while my friend


well, the opposite of being needy is quite simple: just ignore her texts, just simply ignore her texts regularly, don't pick up calls... act like you're busy


but the thing is man.. why would you want to invest energy in these stupid games? just try and look for a girl that doesn't feel the need to do stupid **** like that... it's so pointless and you can never ever win


it's like me and my ex, by now we could perfectly be great friends... but because she makes a principle to stick to her pride she refuses to contact me first... and I said to myself "this time I'm not going to cave first" so as a result we never spoke again after the break-up talk... and u know what? maybe that's for the best, cuz life is too damn short to invest energy in people with idiotic pride like that

I could get into all of that but I don't want to get side-tracked. I just want to know some techniques that build attraction in situations like this.
