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.
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.
Never really been burned, I got dumped by a chubby chick back in my AFC days. That was embarrassing. I'm on my 4th year now with a traditional woman, hardly even a whiff of "modern grrrrl" about her, no facebook, no tatts, no drinking, almost no swearing. She knows to watch her bullsh!t TV shows and leftoid pozzed news when I'm not around. It's a healthy relationship with clear roles, much akin to what was probably normal half a century ago. I like it. I also like to take her out and watch other men's envy and jealousy. I waded through a lot of sh!t to find a decent one so I see no real reason to go back to ONS's and such at this point in time.:-) said:Any DJ's out there who haven't been burned by a woman and advocate being in a monogamous relationship?
State your case.
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.
Woah! that was quick. Who pushed for exclusivity on this one? you or her?GettinMyMindRight said:True that x 1,000!!

So much for my relationship bro. We were at a party the other night, she got a little tipsy, and started feeling up some dude's shirt on the dancefloor. Then they kissed...
She's out!
pushing for exclusivity within such a short period always gets alarm bells ringing.GettinMyMindRight said:She did. Hard.
PPRF - you're right. Oddly enough, I don't feel TOO bad about it. I was into her, but I finally realize that all women need to be properly vetted over a period of time.

Speak of the devil, I JUST got a text from Rachel. "Hey. Did you still want to do something tomorrow night?"
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.
