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.
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.
The sex part doesn't really bother me much. Who knows who is running around with whatever? Frankly, I'm quite happy being able to pee without painful sores flaking off. I don't my wang turning green, if I can avoid it.knglerxt said:
I'm getting there I'm 21 and still a virgin my sister lost hers my brother lost his. I'm all alone. Then I get people talking saying my little brother who is 9 will lose his virginity before me. I know my mom and sister talk about me (or maybe I'm being paranoid) behind my back. But you know what I'm happy. There's this couple (young) they come to our house argue and all that. I almost thought about hitting on the guys girl. Then I regained my composure (she's fat). I'm not going to force myself into any relationship I don't care how desperate I am. I'm only going for the intelligent hard to get ones. Yes, it is a little dishearting to see other people with someone. To this day I still wonder if something is wrong with me. There is a condition called love shyness I learned about maybe that is you or me. I don't know all I know is I'm not going to be a virgin by 22.knglerxt said:
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.
actually this site has helped me. I think is fact that I don't care about other people like I use to. I use to shut up if someone was mean to me or yelled at me. (not that I'm a wimp, I'm huge) Now I speak up. If something pisses me off. I'm still shy but I don't let anyone talk down to me. I know believe I have a little bit more power over my life. If I go out an get killed in an accident, that I don't have control over. Me being successful and getting chicks that I believe I have control over. I don't if it is this site or just myself. Then there are things I haven't approved on. I can talk to any women I still get scared but I can do it. Then there is the matter of confidence just because I can talk to someone doesnt' mean I'm confident enough to get there numbers (even though I have). Then there is the art of attraction, I don't how to build attraction. This site is good on some things bad on others. On approaching and talking to women this website is top notch. On confidence not so much.azanon said:
