"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"

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.

im confused, it's preached you should spin plates so you dont get oneitis and also if things go sour between you and your girl you'll have girls to fall back on like she has guys she can hook up with.

however, isn't spinning plates technically cheating unless you're upfront about it at the beginning?

also a lot of women wouldn't want to mess with you cos they have some ego that states they should be the only 1 you are seeing so wouldn't see you anymore cos you're dating other girls rather than just her. so you end up losing a lot of girls at the beginning who are potentially good girls but won't accept the fact that you spin plates. i need clarity on this.

would u want a girl who accepts that you are spinning plates when you start dating? wouldnt she think that gives her license to do the exact same thing?
 

"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."

Attraction runs on a clock.

She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.

The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."

One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.

Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.

We on the same page? I guess not. They run on emotion. Tap into that and you can get them to do many things. Its a wake up call, but you can tell a woman you can have other girls but she can't have other guys if you use emotion right.

Some people will say to just lie outright. That I feel has nothing to do with the girl, but you need to decide, as a man, if that's within your moral code or not.

Personally, I don't like to lie or mislead, so I will lay down the law and say things are not exclusive.

Emotion is greater then ego. If you become the prize, then they would rather share it then go without 9.5/10

When you start dating, you are doing just that, dating. It is not a comitted long term relationship. Why the need to pretty much "ask for permission" to date if you are not in a monogamous LTR?

That is why if you are just after sex, you must strike early and bed ASAP when just casually dating. Once she thinks you two are exclusive, she will make more demands and you won't be able to come out and openly say you are dating others.

Yes, a lot of them will not want to sleep with you until you are just dating them, that is moving more towards the comitted LTR. Spinning Plates is done when you are in a postition to casually date and not when you have told or implied to someone you are exclusive.

When you get pretty good at conveying what you want and don't want, and don't have this fear of loosing a woman, she will be more ok with you spinning plates when not in a LTR.

Usually I'll be upfront about NOT wanting a gf. From then on, if the girl still tags along (which they always do, if for no other reason than to change my mind...) she can't pretend she didn't know what she was getting herself into.

I usually try to avoid the discussion of what I do when I'm not around her. When she brings it up, I'll just avoid the argument all together by throwing in some jokes. However at the same time, I make it pretty clear to her that we are not exclusive.

There comes a point where 1) she ll either get sick of it and leave you, unless you become exclusive with her
2) she likes you more and more and she ll pretty much take anything from you, so this won't even be an issue
 

"She Laughed All Night. Then She Ghosted You. Here's Why."

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.
