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.
I could talk to any woman I wasn't attracted to. Charming, funny, relaxed. Then a gorgeous woman looked my way and I'd become a sweating, babbling mess.
The fix took me years to find and ten minutes to learn. Nervousness and excitement are the same physical state — pounding heart, adrenaline, flushed face. Your brain just picks the label. And you can pick a better one.
Rule 16 shows you how. You feel the nerves, relabel them as excitement, and let that energy pour out as enthusiasm. Women notice the guy radiating it. They always do.
She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.
Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.
The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.
In one way I know what to tell you, but in the other I don't.rsofa said:well... first off, she was drunk when she wanted to kiss me...that probably changes everything.
Actually I like being in this "friendzone" because I get to do stuff, I never did before with girls. Was it because the didn't want to or just didn't want to go out with me. Well about school, she would go out but her mom is annoying and wont let herthat's the problem, I also like face to face approaches, but with her it's not always possible. Tried some kissing afterwards, but she is kind of showing stuff like she doesn't want to...even If we cuddle and all.
She told me she doesn't want a relationship...yet.
I don't know, im not gonna let her go, because then I don't have anyone else. And im really attached to her now.
Maybe this summer or the next one, things will change. That will be, her getting a boyfriend and forgetting about me or, me being her boyfriend.
1 more thing. She is different. I didn't meet her like a normal girl. I said something weird and she liked it. She's not like other girls...for real... not that bull**** stuff, she really doesn't like some things other girls do, and she likes stuff other don't.
@FantasPT
You're kind of right. Too bad she's a weirdo like me
If you would be talking about a normal girl I would 100% agree![]()
He said it himself. She doesnt want him, he doesnt want to let her go.rsofa said:She told me she doesn't want a relationship...yet.

I agree, Rsofa you're going to learn things, the hard way.....DanZy said:Rsofa, you're beyond help
..... I give up.... you want the hard way....DanZy said:Rsofa, you're beyond help
cry me a river, dude I don't care and you shouldn't care her "sad" love life or if her mom is on her all time.rsofa said:@FantasPT
Well nice story, I also met some girls, had a big high school crush, which was using me all the time blablalaba...
I know her too good... Her mom really doesn't let her out much... When I see mom or dad on her phone and yelling sounds when she picks up...that's enough proof for me...
She even escapes sometimes when they are not at home or tells them she is going studying...I have to pick her up a few blocks away then...
She is not taking control of me, had this kind of girl...Asking me if I can drive her here and there and everywhere...
I invite her out, she says okay and we go out...where? Most of the time we don't know where but we just drive somewhere and talk...just talk... Everything I pay for her (drinks or food) she insists to pay her share... I say no its ok, but I always end up with her money in my wallet or even under the phone batter, when Im not looking.
You know I wasn't born and this is my first girl...
You guys know much, but play too much by the book or the rules or something. I get jealous really badly sometimes, or depressed and we can get into an argument, when we go out with my friends, I sometimes neglect her and talk about cars with my friends.... Never she said to me that im annoying, just that she likes being around us.
About the relationships.... SHe had one more then 1 year ago... that ended up in a strange way because there was a 3rd girl that wanted her bf. and a loft **** happened... Since that she had 1 night stands and such...but not since she met me and my friends...she doesn't go out drinking to partys any more... maybe she still does it sometimes but not so often...
Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.
You've been "getting ready" for two years.
She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.
Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.

Dude don't lie to us. The way you've acted around this girl makes me almost certain you're not getting any girls whatsoeverrsofa said:yea.
I changed my ways a bit.
Im not concentrated only on her...
But she is still my main priority because other ones are just for 1 night...
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.
