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.
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.
From what I've seen, most girls don't give a fvck if you're a virgin or not. A few girls wanted to take my V plates, but I was looking to lose it to someone I was really in to. I sorta said "fvck that" though. Girl who I lost it to is really cool though. We dated for a bit, but we decided to just stay friends. I know the "just friends" thing has bad connotation on this board, but I really do like her more as a friend than a girl I was dating.pyros said:so why would you lie to a girl about you being virgin?
I mean, first time I banged one girl, I said I was not virgin because I thougth it would kill her attraction to me, but does it really?
I always wondered.
Attraction runs on a clock.
She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.
The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."
One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.
Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.
Yeah I think you're right MisterD. I woke up today after last night and had sort of an awakening I guess. I'm really getting over the whole party scene. The only reason why I go out on the weekend is cause it's something to do. I want to focus my time away from it all and spend my leisure time doing things that are good for me. Like hiking, riding my bike, studying new things, rock climbing, etc.. Not drinking, doing drugs (minus marijuana and occasional psychedelics), or participating in the whole MTV hook up culture stuff.MisterD said:Alex congrats on your progress.
However, if you're genuinely concerned about catching stuff, or your tired of getting drunk and hooking up with these party girls, if you feel you deserve more/want more/expect more from women, change your scene
the object at first was to get laid, you've gotten over that hurdle. now it's about setting standards for yourself.
I hear you man. I'm in college and i'm not really into that whole scene. I just feel like with girls like that, it's not a good measure of your value. If I wasn't at the bar that night she would have just gone home with another dude. I was just in the right place at the right time.Alex DeLarge said:Yeah I think you're right MisterD.

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.
