Is it only me that finds this type of obsessive-compulsive over-thinking somewhat bizarre; yet the author is trying to pass it off as the norm.<p>Perhaps it&#x27;s the author&#x27;s fretful nature and over analysis that drives women away?<p>I&#x27;ve found the following &#x27;tactics&#x27; have worked quite well:
 - If you want to send a message, send a message. 
 - If they don&#x27;t reply, they&#x27;re busy, or they don&#x27;t want to speak with you.<p>How is it any more complicated than that?
