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.
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.
Hey man thanks! And don't say such things about yourself. Don't put yourself down. Everyone has to start somewhere. Remember, you are the only one who can get out there and start trying, so you might as well get off the Internet and start getting some field experience. No one else can do it for you. And it is really within reach of any regular guy, really. Yes, I'm still having trouble but I'll get there eventually. Unless you are severely deformed (ie having a d1ck growing out of your eye) or highly retarted you have nothing to worry about, dude.SiYuan said:Hey dogg carry on with this man.
You my big inspiration here. Reading this makes me feel lazy and fearful.

My goal hasn't changed, it's still: "To get laid".Solomon said:snowdog respect on this journal
Probably the longest one now since Jayer quit, my question is this, are you keeping your goals in mind or have they changed? you happy with your game or you wanna strive to keep improving?

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.
Well, why not? To kinda tease a girl like that and be a little mysterious can help.MisterMcGee said:"I thought of saying something like "That's a secret" or something."
... youre joking, right?
Lots of anger in your posts. You seriously need some of these!MisterMcGee said:she gives you her number, told you her name, and asked for your name, and you think playing silly games with her by concealing your NAME would be cute or mysterious?

Yea, you make good points there. I just took advice from another girl, which is something I shouldn't had done to begin with. She told me calling can scare a girl away. But again, f*ck it. I can't change anything about it, and I'm sure I won't make that same mistake ever again.TheBucketOfTruth said:Just more proof texting sucks. I've found it's best to go for the close the same night with these party situations. Getting the number and running will work sometimes, but these girls aren't in the same mindset the next day w/o the party atmosphere and alcohol. As you know, you should have pursued the girl that opened you. A girl opening you is a good sign. If you weren't comfortable dancing then you could have led her by the hand to another spot to sit down and spit game.
PS: You said you would call her, but sent her a boring text instead (besides mentioning the accent). Stick to your word. Calling takes more courage than texting, and some girls know this.
You can skip the expensive cars, the fancy clothes, and the endless gym selfies. Completely unnecessary.
I used to freeze the second a beautiful woman looked my way. Frustrated. Awkward. Watching other guys walk away with the girl while I stood there tongue-tied.
Then I discovered 22 simple rules that rewired my entire dating life. The anxiety vanished. Conversations flowed effortlessly. Women started chasing me for a change.
These rules trigger a woman's subconscious attraction switches. And you can start using them tonight.
