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.
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.
After the proper romance of about 5 weeks, if you get her alone, you should offer her a drink. Sit down together, have a sip. Take her drink and put it on the table. Reach under and lift her up, onto your lap. Tip her back and kiss her. Slowly work your way to a small French kiss (not the band Kiss, no Gene Simmons tongue). Let your hand go from her belly slowly up to her nipples.The subject line says it all ... after you've brought a chick over to your place, how do you get her into bed? What are the steps from the entrance to the bedroom?
You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.
Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.
She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.
Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.
Lmao! Proper romance of 5 weeks? You sure you aren't trying to be her gay friend?After the proper romance of about 5 weeks, if you get her alone, you should offer her a drink.

Once I got to this point with the following 4 women (who I had never been alone with before) recently, here were the lines I used:
1) To the 20 year old I said: "I have some bad news. I think... I think we're going to have sex tonight. Listen, I don't like it any more than you do. But I think we should just get it over with". She said ok. Time to score: 6 minutes.
2) The 19 year old actually said "just f*ck me" before I said a word. I said ok. Time to score: 5 minutes.
3) The 22 year old was paranoid and wouldn't go further. I took her home. Time to score (didn't score - but still dating her).
4) With the 26 year old who I'd known 11 months, I didn't say a word. Time to score: 15 minutes.
Here is a good trick. If you have chemistry with a different girl, you can recreate that feeling by thinking about them.
I'm saying 5 weeks from the day you first lay eyes on her until you have her alone in your apartment or hotel room. You can have a one night stand, but you can't get a girl to have a crush and high interest instantly. But enlighten us - tell us about the 4 girls you had in hotels in the past 5 weeks.Lmao!

The 4 girls I was with I knew:
1) 5 weeks (my benchmark)
2) 6 months (then random one night stand)
3) 5 days (too soon)
4) 11 months (too long)
That's probably more than marmel75 has had since 2010, so bear with him.
Dinner ran three hours. She laughed at everything. You walked her to her car thinking this one's locked in.
Then: nothing. Two texts. No reply. What happened?
You did what most men do on a great date. You filled every silence, answered every question, and left her with nothing to wonder about. No mystery. Nothing to sit with when she got home.
Rule 3 of the "22 Rules" changes the ending: tell her a little, hold back the rest, and let her imagination do the chasing. The ghosting stops too.
Steps! No man, there are no steps, you have to feel situation. Plus, for sex you don't have to bring her home. Also, sometimes you bring them home not for sex.The subject line says it all ... after you've brought a chick over to your place, how do you get her into bed?

Here's an idea - when you want to say something: have a point. It makes it so much easier for the reader.BigNeil, the class clown as always...

There is nothing the DJ-wannabee's here hate more than seeing my raw, undeniably awesome statistics.
That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?
She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."
She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.
I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.
Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.
