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.
You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.
Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.
She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.
Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.
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.
You call A beemer ostentatious?? Its so understated compared to all the American cars!! Sorry, it was jus my 2 cents!Originally posted by BigFoot
How about the 2005 BMW 3 series? I'm not sure I'd feel comfortable with a car
like that though - a bit too ostentatious.
I basically agree with you Redshift. What I meant was , the BMW is really a "showoff" car. A Toyota will beat it every time in value and reliability. The new BMW 3 series look great - and that's really the only reason to buy it !You call A beemer ostentatious?? Its so understated compared to all the American cars!!

All objective information that I have (take a look at Consumer Reports) says otherwise.no. Wrong. BMWs are more reliable than toyotas.
I think you're right, esp. with the older modelsBMW's are for ex crims, whanna be gangstas, stock brokers and drug dealers!
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.
Oh brother. Your first concern should be your driving needs. If you are just looking for something to drive yourself and maybe one other friend around, and want a German muscle car, get a Z3 M roadster. Alternatively, get a used Chevy Corvette C5 (the generation beginning in 1997, I think), or even an older Dodge Viper if you can find one at a good price. Get a standard Z3 if rollercoaster-style acceleration isn't your thing. If you don't care much about performance, and want style and something to haul friends and gear around, get a 2002 Cadillac Escalade or a used Mercedes M-class or BMW X5 (the Merc and BMW have been around longer, so older used models are cheaper. The 2000 and older Cadillac Escalades are fugly. Lincoln Navigators suck just because they are Fords). If you want a balance of performance and utility, get a used 3 series. If you want more luxury, get a used Mercedes car (C-class is recommended in this case).Originally posted by BigFoot
Let's say I can buy either a 2005 Toyota Camry or a 2005 Audi Wagon (I'm even thinking about the 2006 Ford Mustang).
The Audi costs a little more, is probably a little fancier inside, but does anyone see any advantage either way in attracting women ?
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.
