"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"
Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."
You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.
She's been waiting forty minutes.
Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.
What are the biggest attraction signs when talking to a women ?

"I'm Not Looking for Anything Serious Right Now"
When a woman says it, guys hear a confession. A heads-up. A scheduling conflict.
Here's the translation: I don't feel anything. Right now. With you.
Watch what happens when a man triggers actual attraction. The busy career, the recent breakup, the "not in a place to date" — all of it evaporates instantly. The same woman who was guarding her freedom is suddenly free every night.
The "22 Rules" explain why. When the right switches flip, her timeline rearranges itself around you.

- She will hold eye contact.
- She will show her teeth.
- She will touch you.
- She will use words like hero.

If during the interaction you find yourlsef frustrated or annoyed with no explanation its because subconsciously you realized its a waste of time.
The worst thing you can do is look for signs while being horny and hopeful she likes you, you will start thinking that her ordering a red drink instead of a white one its a sign she wants you.
"Why Women Dump the Guys Who Try the Hardest"
You paid for dinner. You drove. You said "whatever you want is fine" every single time. All the effort, no expectations.
And she left anyway — probably for a guy who makes her pick up the pizza.
Painful. Also predictable. Her mind quietly concludes that anything requiring zero effort from her is worth exactly zero. You became a free sample, and free samples get taken for granted.
The 22 Rules flip the dynamic. Small shifts that get her investing effort, money, and time in you — until SHE'S the one afraid of losing YOU.

The worst thing is to assume all these signs mean anything before she has sex with you. Once sex is out of the question, these signs will have more meaning.

If she is smiling at you, you have a green light. I don't even deal with women who don't smile at me. The smile is mandatory and it is her request for me to pursue her.
This past week I went on 2 dates. Had a great conversation with the first gal and she was laughing quite a bit. The second one not only didn't smile or laugh a lot, but even tried to neg me a few times without success. However, during the date she reached out to grab my arm twice.
The first girl flaked on me later on, the second one started texting me right after our date.

Regards to your question, I never look for "IOIs" anymore. Believe me, if she's not interested, it's always pretty clear. [She's looking at her phone, walking off, or in the funny situations, pointing at her wedding ring.]
I suggest you just keep escalating and BELIEVE that she likes you.
You should just repeat this in your head throughout the interaction: "She thinks I'm sexy."
If you have to look for signs: you don't believe she likes you, so you already lost the game.
"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."
Attraction runs on a clock.
She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.
The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."
One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.
Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.

Here's what I've gathered from lots of first hand experience over the years:
1. Compliant.
2. Highly accepting of whatever you offer.
3. Zero Flakeyness/Follows thru on plans.
4. Initiates a kiss.
5. Willingness to alter her schedule to fit yours.
6. Turns her body towards yours.
7. Touches you.
8. Wants to learn about you.
9. Opens up to you verbally/emotionally.
10. Complimentary

Submission.
"How I Made Sure No Woman Ever Friend-Zoned Me Again"
She calls you when her car breaks down. When she needs help moving. When some guy she's actually dating treats her badly.
You're the listener. The reliable one. The guy who would treat her so much better, if she'd just open her eyes.
She won't. You trained her to see you as the low-effort option — the friend who requires zero risk and zero investment. Every favor dug the hole deeper.
The "22 Rules" break the pattern. You'll stop auditioning for a role she already cast and become the man she chases instead. It starts with Rule 1.

(Better sign) Positive body language, she is facing you with an open posture.
(Slightly better) She works to keep the conversation going.
(As good as it usually gets) She touches you, where she touches you will determine how far you can push the interaction.
(Best sign) Finally she pays you some kind of compliment..
(This is really a good sign as long as you are not looking for just a hook-up) She asks you questions and is trying to build rapport.

I never look for IOI.... I go after what I want. If you do things right, eventually the IOI will come up, but do not wait for them. However, you need to pay attention to body language signs of disinterest. You get these you should move on.

I went through a phase of pushing through the IOD's.
Me: "If you don't like me that much then slap me."
Chick: "I'm not going to slap you."
Me: "Then I'm staying here..."
Chick: *Silence* - *Checks phone*
Me: "So... how do you know your friend?"
Chick: *Silence*
Me: "Just slap me already."
Chick: *Slaps me real hard*
Me: "Cool." *Walks away*
Another time, I pushed the IODs and a chick actually punched me. [I didn't ask for that. I just over did the teasing.]
Anyway - Agreed that unless you're wanting trouble, it's best to find a girl who's letting you progress.

"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"
Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.
She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.
Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.
So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.
The words come later. The impression comes first.
