You replay the conversation at 2 a.m. She texted back fast yesterday. Today, nothing. Was that smile friendly or flirty? What did the shoulder touch mean?
Every hour you spend decoding her signals drains your confidence and hands her the controls. Women can sense that insecurity from across the room — and it repels them.
One of the "22 Rules" kills the obsession on the spot: assume she likes you, and act accordingly. Sounds too simple. Works anyway.
Her interest tends to rise to meet your expectations. Psychologists call it a self-fulfilling prophecy.
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.

Very interestedI'll give a link to my youtube channel if anyone is interested. Please pm me.
I'll take any feedback on how I look.
I keep trying to explain to people that looks alone are not going to work magic for you unless you are so hot you are like a model and she doesn't care about anything else. And you would know this because they would be approaching you non-stop of this was the case and essentially telling you straight up that they want to fvck.I'm shocked by the feedback. I have a 99% rejection rate so I assumed I'm ugly fugly but people are saying otherwise. Some are saying I need a haircut, but I don't know what to do with my hair.
I also ran an older photo through this site

and got a 75/100, so basically a 7.5/10, face and body. Again, surprised at that too.
Very true! I think a lot of my rejections are due to the age gap.I keep trying to explain to people that looks alone are not going to work magic for you unless you are so hot you are like a model and she doesn't care about anything else.

Outside of that, social skills, social tact, understanding interpersonal dynamics, having good body language, knowing how to carry yourself, and knowing how to carry on interesting conversations in person that have enough sexual innuendo and tension built in to create some sort of differentiator between you being a nice guy and you being someone she wants to fvck are the likely things missing.
It's trial and error on dates where you keep things that work regularly and you throw out things that don't work regularly and then you keep refining and refining until you have a basic cookie cutter starting point that works more often than not and you adapt it to individual women based on the patterns you have seen with similar women that worked prior.
There is a concept called Time on Task where your abilities in a certain area directly correlate to the amount of time spent practicing/using your skills in that area. It's known by other names too, but the basic concept is the same...if you want to become good at something, you have to spend a lot of time at it at first, without getting a lot of results. As time goes on, you start improving results much quicker with less time spent so that it is not like a straight line curve but more like a curve that starts out flat for a long while and then starts slowly going up and then going up faster and faster once you reach a certain point.
How long that takes is highly individualistic because it depends a lot on how well you are at analyzing each date, how good you are at setting up and getting dates and how long of a period it takes to get say 100 dates. Dates on a consistent basis so you have practice over and over again with only a short time between them so you can actively adapt will serve much better than weeks between dates where it becomes harder to remember things and make the proper adjustments.
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.
Thanks! Again, I'm surprised honestly. I thought my looks went really downhill after covid, after the stress I had.I like the man. Solid 8/10.
Here's the exact recipe boys...its up to you.I keep trying to explain to people that looks alone are not going to work magic for you unless you are so hot you are like a model and she doesn't care about anything else.

You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.
Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.
Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.
Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.
This is some Yoda ass advice.Plinco, I can tell a lot about you by this simple thread you have started.
You are looking outward to validate your looks. That tells me you lack confidence in yourself and you aren't aware where you stack up. This is your biggest hurdle to get over.
A man that is successful knows he has many other arrows in his quill that he can rely on to get the job done. He isn't going to fret over his looks not being good enough.
Look inward if you want success, no matter what you are wanting to accomplish.
I've started to question myself more after seeing that I only had one date from 96 approaches last year. If there's nothing wrong with the way I look, then I feel relieved. The rest of it I can control, besides my age.Plinco, I can tell a lot about you by this simple thread you have started.

Which points to whatever you are currently doing is not working and it's up to you to start analyzing and adjusting things.Very true! I think a lot of my rejections are due to the age gap.
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.
