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.

She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.
Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.
The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.
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: What's his name

You: I heard Steve likes little boys
Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.
She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.
Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.
So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.
The words come later. The impression comes first.
that's what i usually do...Originally posted by THA REALNESS
"oh word.... so anyways ...." keep on grinding the conversation along.
So what if she's telling the truth.
Hahah! I'm using this ASAP! Whenever a girl mentions another guy, i usually come back at her with something along the lines of 'holy ****, so you're cheating on me?!'.. so this'll fit right inOriginally posted by McKindley
Her: I have a boyfriend
You: ****! Does he know about us?

"I HAVE A BOYFRIEND" -- means "I don't want to talk to you, so please leave me alone. " whether she is telling the truth or not.
Who cares what she wants? Do what YOU want. Whether she wants you to hit on her is irrelevant - you're there to fvck her and that's final.Originally posted by check_mate_kid_uk
i think theres another important issue here, not just what to say in reply, but if she says she has a boy freind. even if its true, does that mean she does not want you to hit on her, is she playing hard to get or what? could some one shed some light on this topic because im not so sure about it myself!
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.
