Trying it out first time and posting to see if others have done this and any tips? I'm aware to have low expectations and know that it could be dating multiple women till I end up with a match...ill talk about this in a bit
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.
Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."
You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.
She's been waiting forty minutes.
Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.
Arranged marriage dating= both parties being hooked up (arranged)...meeting each other /talking (dating) for a period of time to see if they are compatible for long term marriage...than getting engagedI've never heard of arranged marriage dating but I know quite a few doctor friends who are in arranged marriages. They all cheat on there wives and because of the culture being arabic or pakistani it's pretty much accepted they won't divorce because the shame it would bring upon the family.
Most of them seem unhappy.
Isn't that what the dating is supposed to be? When did dating become arranged marriage dating. I thought the idea of dating and becoming exclusive was the period of time to see if someone was a potential for LTR and marriage. It seems to me the majority of girls that would be down for "arranged marriage dating" would be religious variety like jehovah's witnesses or protestants or muslims. Good luck in your endeavors though!Arranged marriage dating= both parties being hooked up (arranged)...meeting each other /talking (dating) for a period of time to see if they are compatible for long term marriage...than getting engaged

She calls you when her car breaks down. When she needs help moving. When some guy she's actually dating treats her badly.
You're the listener. The reliable one. The guy who would treat her so much better, if she'd just open her eyes.
She won't. You trained her to see you as the low-effort option — the friend who requires zero risk and zero investment. Every favor dug the hole deeper.
The "22 Rules" break the pattern. You'll stop auditioning for a role she already cast and become the man she chases instead. It starts with Rule 1.
What?? What possible benefit is it for you to get married, let alone to a woman you know nothing about? Think about how desperate this makes you look in a woman's eye.Trying it out first time and posting to see if others have done this and any tips?

So you are saying you are afraid of competition with other guys so you want to eliminate the competition? Why would this be great? It would suck because you are 90% of the time stuck with a person you are not going to be compatible with.I wish my culture did this, would be a great backup plan. U indians and arabs have are lucky
How tall are you brother?So long as the gal that I got arranged to were properly nubile and without an "ugly mask", I wouldn't have a problem with this. Of course, I could imagine a gal I got matched with crying in horror about my height.

There's a lot of good looking successful couples in my community who got married...but I'm not sure you could call it arranged marriage ..more like you networked and found each other? Idk it's not what you think it is just can't find the words to explain itWhat?? What possible benefit is it for you to get married, let alone to a woman you know nothing about?

I have a buddy similar height. Actually did fairly well with women. I think he made up for it because he was funny and had an awesome positive attitude. Also earns decent income.165 cm.![]()
