whats your opinion on business cards?
"Why Women Dump the Guys Who Try the Hardest"
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.
business cards : take them or still ask for a cell?

"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.
This is funny you asked that, because Saturday a girl gave me her business card. And I said something like, "I don't normally call people at their work, what's your cell number?" She gave it to me. I would always get the cell number too.KneghtRyder said:whats your opinion on business cards?

Aye. In agreement. I used to get work #s at first, and they staled quickly. Now its either cell or I TTYL.ketostix said:This is funny you asked that, because Saturday a girl gave me her business card.

business cards sometimes have a cell on them, I think. but yeah, I usually ask specifically for the cell #
In some ways, I guess a non-cell # might be good. Cell phones always have call waiting, and it's usually not a good idea to leave either
1) a voice message or
2) multiple missed calls
on a girl's cell before you've actually gone out with her.

i always hear conflicting answers on that one. Some people say leave the message, some say dont. Is that a judgement call or what?Obsidian said:business cards sometimes have a cell on them, I think. but yeah, I usually ask specifically for the cell #

"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"
You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.
For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.
Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.
The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.

Leave the message.
You could say "gimme a call" somewhere if you want, otherwise you can just leave a message saying what's up, shows you have balls and assertiveness.

well, i haven't really tried it so I don't know from experience, but it seems doubtful that a woman would call you back if you left a message without having gone out with her first
i mean, hell, half the time they don't even call you back if you have gone out with them already
