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.
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.
Besides that...Alle_Gory said:Yeah... not a good idea.
It would just be far too easy for the kids & newbies to post their unfounded opinions. And other kids & newbies could make financial decisions based on such opinions.
This can lead to financial ruin.
I was under the impression sosuave was about bettering your life and women fall into that category. Living the Don Jaun Life style.SoSuave was orginally created solely for the purpose of helping teach both younger & older men how to get better with women -------> nothing else!
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.
It's just as easy for the same folks to post unfounded opinions at other forums. Successful people aren't spoonfed information and they don't rely on others to hold their hands; they're independent, critical thinkers. BS is easy to spot when you're careful.Alle_Gory said:It would just be far too easy for the kids & newbies to post their unfounded opinions.

I hate to pull the join-date card on you, but that's only true of the website. Regardless, DJs move beyond their origins.

I'm one of the subject-matter experts at LinkedIn Answers. I'm sure there are folks here with questions about business, even questions about business education, that they might want answered without either exposing themselves to potential employers or having to go somewhere else.DarkShade said:Why not post on a board that is full of experts?

Exactly. Except with women, its almost impossible to blow all your money in one sitting.Listen Bro, many people on this site don't even know what they're talking about when it comes to women!
And then you expect them to give you sound financial advice???
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.
