You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.
For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.
Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.
The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.
You made your case like a lawyer. Stable job. Good guy. Ready for something real. All true. All irrelevant.
She weighed your points, nodded along, felt nothing — then fell hard for some tattooed bartender with a motorcycle and a gambling problem.
Logic is where attraction goes to die. The "22 Rules" work a level deeper, on the subconscious switches that decide within minutes whether you register as a MAN or as part of the furniture.
Stop presenting evidence. Start flipping switches.
Nah, I'm sure it was the guy's fault. She sounds sweet. Congrats, man.Would they be entirely dealbreakers?
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.
....you met her on POF, right?Ever Google your prospective dates name and saw mugshots of her on public record? LOL. Typically its either domestic abuse or DUI's
Would they be entirely dealbreakers?
if it's not a violent crime and doesn't represent a mental/personality issue, then who cares?Would they be entirely dealbreakers?
why would she want to talk about that? lord knows I wouldn't want to talk about something like that.I did have a girl I dated that was getting a house foreclosed on. I tried to get her to open up about it, but didn't tell her all that I knew. She kept telling me she was selling her house and getting a different one because she didn't like the one she had. lol. BS. Eventually, I said "hey, its obvious you are full of ****. I tried to get you to open up but I know more than I led on and you are a liar". I ended the relationship right there. I put her to the test and she lied. If she hid details like that, then she will hide even smaller details that might directly effect me. I don't need people like that.
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.
that's what women are for fam.sex sex sex sex sex
Jesus....
Serious question?Would they be entirely dealbreakers?
Because its shows several things about ones character.why would she want to talk about that? lord knows I wouldn't want to talk about something like that.
how would her house foreclosing be your problem?
