"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"

Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.

You've been "getting ready" for two years.

She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.

Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.

I finally checked my messages and sure enough, she had written (3 days ago) just hours after I last saw her.

Guys, remember the "Out of sight, out of mind" mantra. You must make sure she sees you every 4 weeks at a minimum.
 

"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.

Also, don't text at all after she agrees to a date unless you need to communicate something directly related to the logistics of the date. Be distant/build mystery/don't 'sell' the girl on a date you've already set up with her/etc.

Yes, this is where you force her to initiate, or no date. The day of the date she texts first, always. She should say something like "How should I do my hair?" or "What should I wear?"

That's not true at all. I have a chick in the rotation that I see every ~5-7 weeks. She's been popping in and out since July.

Correct. No text is necessary unless she texts you.

Usually it's more like "are we still on?!?"

If you´ve been going out with a girl for 2/3 months and not texting at all between dates, do you reckon a text/email in between can raise her interest level?

The important part is the dates. Text as little as possible to get dates. In general, you can only raise interest level in person.

This week I tried a new strategy of only checking my text messages every 24 hours. I actually really like this method. I'll keep an eye on the number of messages but I just wait to read them.

I got so tired of the minute by minute responding (or their not responding).

Has anyone else used methods to detach themselves from social media?
I need my phone for work. So it's not possible. But I've been thinking of getting a 2nd phone so I can try. I once went 3 months recently without a text or data plan. It was great. I spent less time being distracted by social crap and more time with developing myself in multiple ways.
I still tried to date during this time. Most women thought it was odd and accused me of being married. The other ones didn't care. They would just call and want to meet up more rather than get emotional fulfillment through text.

I shut my phone off for 3 days and it turned out my favorite girl had texted me. When I replied (on Christmas) she blew up my phone and is back to texting about love and we just confirmed our next date. Try this.
