For men: No Contact isn’t punishment — it’s about regaining your frame and letting her lean back in.
Timing
- Light breakup: 21–30 days.
- Hot-and-cold / mixed signals: 30–45 days.
- Messy / repeated drama: 45–60 days.
What to focus on
- Upgrade your habits (gym, diet, sleep = baseline).
- Expand your circle — women notice when you’re not orbiting them.
- Focus on progress (projects, goals) — stability is attraction.
What to avoid
Don’t: drunk texts, guilt trips, passive-aggressive posts. They kill attraction.
Restarting contact
When you’re calm: send a low-stakes opener, build warmth with callbacks, then suggest a short, specific plan.
Opener: “Quick q — did that taco truck on 7th survive the remodel?”
Two-choice invite: “Thu or Fri — quick 20min catch-up? Your pick.”
Frame matters
Script: “I’m good with where this is going. If it slips back into casual, I’ll step back — I value consistency.”
