"The Kiss of Death Mistake"

You replay the conversation at 2 a.m. She texted back fast yesterday. Today, nothing. Was that smile friendly or flirty? What did the shoulder touch mean?

Every hour you spend decoding her signals drains your confidence and hands her the controls. Women can sense that insecurity from across the room — and it repels them.

One of the "22 Rules" kills the obsession on the spot: assume she likes you, and act accordingly. Sounds too simple. Works anyway.

Her interest tends to rise to meet your expectations. Psychologists call it a self-fulfilling prophecy.

Whats up with these crazy chicks! Some of them are quite eager to give me their number early on. So why don't they ****ing answer my calls?! As we all know, chicks love their cell phone and take it everywhere. Even if she missed the call, she can return it later if she wants too.
Well its already a few hours later and I don't expect a call for the rest of the day (she works very early in the morning and goes to bed early on)

What would you do? I 'm not sure I want to next her on the spot, as we had quite a good time I first met her (2 days ago). We talked about meeting a few days later and stuff. Damn it.
 

"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"

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.

Forgot to mention, she appeared to be a nice person, but seems to be quite spoiled, looking on her 'net profile (having very high standards even if she is just a 7-8)

They all have high standards. Except the 1s to 3s

I always call with private number on so I do not have these headaches. I do it mostly because when I call a girl I have time to talk to her but if she is going to call back an hour later I will probably be busy. I do not like call backs, I call when I want it keeps me in control. So anyway you might want to try calling with private number....
 

"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"

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.

Hey, saves my money if she calls me :)
No man, at least where I live its seen as creepy/on the border of stalking if your number is suppressed. And in case she really doesn't want to talk to me, there is no use in tricking her to answer the phone (I know you disable caller id for different reasons, but most don't)

I'd wait a couple days, call her once more and if she doesn't answer or call back, next. At least give the impression that you're busy.

Don't say anything that could be perceived as needy either, you want her to think your time is valuable and you have other options.

Just a question, so when you FIRST called her, did she already have your number on her cellphone.

And when you FIRST called her, did she even pick up?
 

"You Can't Argue a Woman Into Liking You"

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.

If she doesnt call you back after the third call and assuming she is not in the hospital or involved in some unfortunate situation, you can pretty much write her off as uninterested.

Blocking calls is too stalkerish.

I leave a message, and leave my number, even if I know she has it. I've known many people to lose their phones, and all their #s with them (moral: put important numbers in a phone book).

What to do after leaving a message depends upon the woman (i.e., what I know or sense of her character) and the situation. I chose "wait for her to call the next day" as the best answer.

If she doesn't call back, sometimes I'll call again in a few days, sometimes I'll just forget about her.

You you are right it does seem a little stalkerish but like i said i do it for different reasons. The funny thing is I always get girls that want to sleep with me calling me and saying "did you just call?, I got a call with a blocked number and you are the only person i know who does that". Obviously they didn't get a call they jsut want to talk to me.... it is amusing

I once called this chick who I met at a club 7 times before I was able to reach her and even left her messages. She was the one who appraoched me and gave me her number so I knew her IL was high. When I finally was able to reach her, she was very happy to hear from me and we dated thereafter and she wanted to marry me (very high IL). She told me that she was having some health issues with her father at the time taqth prevented her from returning
my calls.

So, sometimes you cant write a girl off just because she does not return your calls at the time. She may be going through stuff or may even be shy or intimidated by you. You just have to use common sense. If you first met her and she seemed interested, then she probably still is unless you waited too long to call her.
 

"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.

Hmm, we did not exactly have the time of our lives when we met, but it was ok, nice and relaxed. We talked, I used light c&f, she made some jokes and we laughed. I can't say she was definitly interessed in me, but at least I got the number.
Just made a decision, wrote a very casual text message telling her I was going to the lake where we first met and she should contact me if she wants to join.
If she answers yes, I am in. If she says no, she may simply have no time and there is another opportunity later. If she doesn't answer at all, bye bye.

Good decision?

I would not text. I would just call. Texting or e-mailing seems too impersonal and she may think you are wuss.

Like my example above, I just sensed that the girl was too interested to just ignore me like that. I knew there was a legitimate reason she did not return my calls. And my instincts were correct.

You just have to go with your gut sometimes.

Now I get what you're driving at, NickBe. Sometimes I block caller ID if I don't want the person to call the number from which I'm calling for some reason or other.

If they don't answer (which they usually don't, because blocked calls are usually telemarketers), I leave the number I want them to call in the message.

I agree with the guy who said to call her back in two days (if you're willing to put up with this b1tchy flaky behavior at all, that is).

“The 22 Rules That Flip the Script With Women… And How You Can Use Them Tonight”

Most guys accidentally kill attraction before they even speak. They assume they need a bigger bank account, a better physique, or smoother lines. They miss the point.

Female desire operates on a specific set of psychological triggers.  Break them, and you're invisible. Follow them, and you become magnetic.

I learned this the hard way. Years of freezing up. Getting friend-zoned. Watching other guys walk away with the girl I wanted. Then I discovered a set of 22 simple rules that rewired my entire approach.
