"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.

hi,

i have been thinking what to get my girlfriend for christmas, and one of my friends mentioned maybe get her lingerie (bra and panties). at first, i thought it was a pretty good idea, its something personal (not something like electronics) and both of us would get some enjoyment out of it (i hope :D). as far as sizing goes, i guess i could look through her underwear drawer...:woo:. i figure its better than purchasing something like jewelry. what are peoples thoughts on the lingerie idea?
 

"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.

first we need to know how old she is and if she would actually wear it.
then you should send me a link to her pic so i can guess her size for you and help you find it cheap.

she is 27, i am 21, she usually wears skimpy underwear e.g. g-strings, thongs, lace boyshorts. her underwear isn't cheap, she spends alot of money on underwear.

"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.

its only weird if you think it is, and if you think it is weird to pick it out, how weird are you gonna feel giving it to her??

its like buying condoms, once you are old enough to do it, its only weird the very first time.

well i have no problem going to the store to buy condoms (it shows that i'm safe :up: ) i think once i have her size(s) figured out i'm going to go buy a lingerie set, i think it's a special gift (what do others think?) what does lingerie say? i think it says that i think she is sexy (which i do).

figuring out a size is easy. most sizes are small , medium , large and plus.
 

"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"

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.

I wouldn't buy a woman lingerie on on my own what so ever. You spend the time picking out something that you think would look sexy on your girl and you give it to her. She puts it on and guess what, it's the wrong size. If it's too small, she may feel embarrassed that she's larger than you perceive her to be. If it's too large, she'll think that you believe that she's fat. Think about it. Even though they come in basic sizes, it makes a difference between styles, where the band lies, where the thighs are cut, the type of fabric.

Instead, use your imagination. Buying someone lingerie screams naughtiness, capitalize on it. Give her a gift certificate to VS and tell her that you will go with her to help her pick something out. But that's not all, your objective is not to just buy some undies, but to sneak into the dressing room with her while she tries them on. It'll take balls, it'll probably give you a few stares from the salespeople and the other customers but think about what it will do for the excitement factor for you and your girl? ;)

These are the types of things that guys seldom do in a relationship and ultimately they get bored because there's no excitement. Make an effort to make sure it never goes away. :up:

Well, I could just go look in her underwear drawer (see what size she is) :whistle:

BTW: honestly, is this a good gift idea? personally, I think so (the gift says that I think she is sexy, it is something we will both get enjoyment out of, and it shows her that I'm a little naughty). Since this would be the first time (if I do consider) buying a woman lingerie, I think its ballsy.

So we chatted today online (she is away at the moment) and I guess she caught wind of my plan (lingerie ) and she asked why I was asking what she liked to wear, I tried playing it off that I was only curious but, then she got a little worried that I had already bought her some lingerie (which I haven't). Since she is tall (6'0") that sizing would be difficult, so she said that it would be fun for us to go shopping together (YAY!) I replied with my thoughts exactly . So I have to think of a nice gift to get her for Christmas.

WHOSE thoughts exactly? You were going to sneak a peek into her drawers (the wooden kind, not the silk kind). Geesh... :rolleyes:

lol..thanks :yes:
 

"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.

Either get your money back or save them until she's earned them (like Chrismas 2007 if you two are still together).

Yea, thats an idea I suppose.

Its her birthday in a week or so, so together with christmas and her bday I spent like £150 on her, 2 items for her birthday and 3 for christmas. I'm sort of thinking it's a bit too much and have a suspicious feeling shes only got me 1 or 2 relatively cheap things.
