Then you'll both have bad breath...Problem solved.Albatross953 said:I'm not sure whether I want to laugh or puke.
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.

When a woman says it, guys hear a confession. A heads-up. A scheduling conflict.
Here's the translation: I don't feel anything. Right now. With you.
Watch what happens when a man triggers actual attraction. The busy career, the recent breakup, the "not in a place to date" — all of it evaporates instantly. The same woman who was guarding her freedom is suddenly free every night.
The "22 Rules" explain why. When the right switches flip, her timeline rearranges itself around you.
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.
What daƒuck did you think was going to happen?Die Hard said:Sent her a text asking if she wanted to go for drinks.
She replied: "A few weeks ago, I would've immediately said yes but I've been dating a guy since one month so I don't think it'd be right to meet up with you as well. Hope you understand!"
My vote is for #3:Die Hard said:*UPDATE*
Ran into this chick again a few weeks ago. No bad breath this time, so I went for her number haha. She acted quite interested that night and was happy to give up the number.
Didn't do anything with it until today. Like I said before, her face is so-so and this didn't make me eager to pursue her. But her body is awesome so I thought what the hell, let's try to get into those panties... Sent her a text asking if she wanted to go for drinks.
She replied: "A few weeks ago, I would've immediately said yes but I've been dating a guy since one month so I don't think it'd be right to meet up with you as well. Hope you understand!"
Just curious how you guys would play this. Just brush it off with "Cool, no problem" and leave it at that? Or try to push a little harder by saying something like "Who said we were going on a date? There's nothing wrong with two people just having drinks and talking to each other, right?"
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.
