"Blank Mind on Dates? She's Dropping Hints You Keep Missing"

The plates get cleared and the silence lands like a brick. You can feel her waiting. Your brain offers up your commute, your job, the weather — topics that have ended more second dates than bad breath.

Here's what most guys never learn: women hand out free conversational material all night long. Tiny clues about what they actually want to discuss. Catch them and you never run out of things to say — because she's telling you what to say next.

Rule 4 of the "22 Rules" trains your ear to catch every single one.

Here is a list of 7 things to look for in a girl when dating.. this will help some of us to weed those psycho girls out quick. Some girls will have 1-2 of these.. but here's a good score. The first four on the list has a score of 1 each, the next 3 on the list have a score of 2. If she has a score of 1-2... should be considered normal.. 3 would be borderline.. anything more than that RUN. She is NOT worth it.

An abusive romantic relationship, -1
An abusive relationship with immediate family, -1
A bad relationship with her father/mother, -1
Financial problems, -1
Psychiatric problems, - 2
Untreated chemical addition, even a legal addiction, or -2
Dramatic bickering with her friends. -2

Now why the first four just 1 point? The first four many of us have had that. The next 3 is something that is more serious. Anyone who has psychiatric problems will obviously give you a lot of BS. Anyone who is a pothead/alcoholic will have problems. Anyone who doesn't get along with friends and screams at them will give you a lot of drama.

For those who don't know if a girl has psychiatric problems.. If she acts cold/hot often or is confused about relationship status every 1-2 weeks - Yeah she's got mental probs.

Score yourself too - if you yourself have a score of 4, consider yourself undateable for now and fix yourself.
 

"Why Women Dump the Guys Who Try the Hardest"

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.

Not a bad post at all but I disagree with you about the drug/alcohol problems one. That should be a 3 for alcohol and a 4 for illegal/perscription drugs (yeah including pot).

People who abuse drugs are very very screwed up and may end up dragging you into situations you dont want to be anywhere near.

Occasionally using alcohol or pot is not a big deal. I would define problem as not being able to stop anytime and still feel/act normal.

Accurate but why wait until the third or fifth date? Why not qualify her sooner so as not to waste time or effort?
