"I just moved here from Florida."

That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?

She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."

She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.

I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.

Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.

fellas -- like the title says, can seeing 3 plates in 1 day backfire on me? it's going to be at least 3 plates, and we'll be one-on-one. i'm wondering if there's anything i should be weary off?

i'm trying to get them all going around the same location but at different times. so i won't have to travel so much.
 

"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"

Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.

You've been "getting ready" for two years.

She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.

Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.

"You Can't Argue a Woman Into Liking You"

You made your case like a lawyer. Stable job. Good guy. Ready for something real. All true. All irrelevant.

She weighed your points, nodded along, felt nothing — then fell hard for some tattooed bartender with a motorcycle and a gambling problem.

Logic is where attraction goes to die. The "22 Rules" work a level deeper, on the subconscious switches that decide within minutes whether you register as a MAN or as part of the furniture.

Stop presenting evidence. Start flipping switches.

It has the potential to backfire on you. I'm not saying it will, but it could...

What if one wants a longer date? Or she starts to escalate?

What the hell is with the whole "plate" thing going on in this thread?

I know the whole idea behind it, but is it unnecessary to write out the five letter word "plate" instead of just "girl"?

For some reason, this reminds me of that episode of the Flintstones where Fred wanted to go bowling but he had to be at a fancy party as well...hillarity ensued.

Moral of the story unless you have enough time and space between the three do not do it. Remember the Poonagrathom theory where D x T = P. Where P stands for pvssy.

I agree. "you better have other plates to spin." "I'm spinning two plates at the moment." *shakes head* :down:
 

"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"

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's the difference in using dinner and evening feast? They imply different things, as does 'plates' imply having more than one 'girl' at any giving time.

Well it can if you're an idiot. Giving you the benefit of the doubt, you'll be fine so as long as you're sure to space the 'dates' out evenly. And if you plan on sleeping with one, for goodness sakes make sure you shower before your next appointment.

What are you nuts?! can't you set up 1 date=1 day at a time??

I mean what are you trying to accomplish on the date? to increase one woman's interest level while moving on to the next within a given time period???!!

Call the other two girls you are less interested in and change the days with them. This way the top plate is all set and ready to go and you won't have to worry about the other two, you will enjoy the date without feeling rushed and can fvck close her while calling it a day.

Excellent points Damage. Setting up 3 dates doesn't allow you the opportunity to f close any of them really except the last girl. It shows the kids mentality. He's not ready to take them to the next level but he's trying ot make himself feel like a god because he can get multiple dates but what good are multiple dates if your not fvcking them?

i don't want to space them out. :cuss: i'm trying to prioritize my time better. right now, i'm thinking about meeting new girls 1x every week. and the rest of the week, i spend time studying, working, friends & my hobbies which don't and will not include any "girls." they'll just ruin it.

i haven't arranged 3 dates in one day in a long time. last time, i did it... i was safe. date 1 actually took the metro with me where i got off to meet my 2nd date at "hooters." she was cool w/ it. my date at "hooters" also knew of date #3, b/c i told her i would be leaving at 8 to meet someone. and she just asked "hot date?"

date #3 was my #1 girl. i was with her until 3am. :D she was actually my oneitis at the time, & i had to see other girls, b/c i knew i had it for her bad. so i just don't want to get into that again which is why i'm trying to prioritize my time around more important things like studying and seeing more girls, when it's my "date day." i really just want to find 1 quality girl... thus the many dates.

at the same time, i'm scared it's going to backfire on me... reputation-wise, b/c i've heard stories from other guys, but then i don't swear my love or anything to the girls. they do know i'm seeing other people. i just don't know how they'll react, if they were to actually bump into each other while i was on a date with one. knowing is one thing... but actually seeing? :nervous:
 

"I'm Not Looking for Anything Serious Right Now"

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.

So how did it go? Did you manage to do 3-plates in a day?

Remember, even the best Chef's only have two hands, two plates at once is the LIMIT! J/k :)

Seems like too much work. I'd just plan out different days for each once.
