She says the movie looks dumb; you suddenly agree. She tests you with a little attitude; you apologize for nothing.
You think you're being easy to get along with. She reads something else entirely: a man with no edges. Nothing to hold on to. No friction, no tension, no reason to wonder what he really thinks.
The "22 Rules" taught me to push back — playfully, calmly, without needing her approval. Strange things happened after that.
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.
I don't know man. You really think I should try again? I mean the message was just God awful. It reeked of AFC. haha I wasn't really prepared to get a voice mail. I just assumed she'd pick up. My bad.Unsure said:DO NOT CALL HER AGAIN! just leave it as it is. wait couple days and try again.
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.
I agree 100% with that.DO NOT CALL HER AGAIN! just leave it as it is. wait couple days and try again.
look, I agree too. But I don't think I'm going to try again. This is mainly because when a girl doesn't call you back there's a reason. The reason is that she does not want to talk to you. So it's pointless to call back again. If she cared she'd call you. I don't think I'm a negative thinker on this subject, just going by experience. I've tried what you guys suggest (i.e. calling again in a couple days) and the same **** happened. Oh well...JDA70 said:I agree 100% with that.
