LOL.
LOL.
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.
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.
Wow. She tripped out over a Facebook message. Smh. Women.omg lol #3 cracks me up. I used to have a FB with about 300 friends. This was in mid 2014. I also had this gf at the time (ex now of course). On our anniversary I:
1) told her happy anniversary verbally in person, first thing in the morning
2) Late in the day replied to her FB message to me on my wall saying happy anniversary .
BUT, I failed to post happy anniversary to her FB page.. She let me have it that night so bad. It lead to a big fight and I ended up saying fVck this and disabled my FB page. These women and their social media it's really a sickness.... It just ain't right!![]()
There are no such things as anniversaries with FB's...those are things reserved for girlfriends and wives.omg lol #3 cracks me up. I used to have a FB with about 300 friends. This was in mid 2014. I also had this gf at the time (ex now of course). On our anniversary I:

I think FB means Facebook in his post. I could be mistaken though.There are no such things as anniversaries with FB's...those are things reserved for girlfriends and wives.
So should we assume this was your girlfriend at the time?
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.
Summed it up perfectly, women don't even know what they want, so how are they gonna give advice to men about what they want?Never take dating advice from a woman.
Lol, gotcha...Yes, she was my girlfriend at the time. And FB is Facebook.

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.
