"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.

Met a girl at a meeting. We had a lively debate about an academic issue we're really interested in. Emailed her later that evening to see if she wanted to discuss the issue further. No response.

Will probably see her at future meetings. Should I just act like nothing happened?

Of course. Forget about it. This happens all the time. You should be talking to so many girls a week that YOU forget about this email.

I wouldn't have ever emailed either, as guys here have hard-wired that into me.

-haha well if youd called youd have known your answer and wouldnt be wondering WHY
-seeing you seemed to only be asking her for freindly academic banter rather than " date situation" then reasons for ignoring are are likely to be totally different...
- and some people often dont read emails very often

keep texting/emailing and you'll keep getting mediocre results,

not trying to hook up with her actually. really just wanted to discuss the academic issue, but i feel like she might have felt like i was asking her out.
 

"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.

forget 'em! seriously, don't let it bother you one d@mn bit. i acctually love being around girls that have rejected me, or chose another guy over me. why? cause i LOVE when they say hey to me and i give them a half hearted response back like they don't even matter.

Hm... your title "...girl who REJECTS you" and the fact that you posted in a pick-up forum kinda seems to indicate otherwise.

Shrug it off and wait til you see her again to ask again, this time in person, if you really don't intend on asking her out.

And even if you do wanna ask her out, do it in person or at least over the phone.

well i said she "rejected me" because she might have construed it as my asking her out. but i suppose i was never rejected to begin with if i never had any intention of doing the horizontal monstermash with her.

I'm not sure you're being totally honest with us (and yourself).

If it was a dude or a fat ugly girl would you still have emailed to see if she wanted to "discuss the issue further"?

So you emailed a girl a general school related question, she didnt answer and you make a post asking if you should ever talk to her again???
 

"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.

possible resoans she "ignored" you, arguable a "freind rejection" is WORSE than a love/sex rejection - your not even good enougth to hang out with!

-she never cheaks emails
-you didnt intrest her enougth when you talked to her (and she was being polite?) - or your skills in reading her were off...
-your email sounded boring
-shes already busy and has plans, so instead of saying "no sorry...etc" she just didnt reply
- she thinks your trying to pick her up, and she aint interested
and many more...

IMO if it had that tone, then its boring, what did ur email say?? care to post it?

Guys, I tipped a waitress today at a restaurant and she didn't even say "Thanks".

Does that mean her IL is low? Should I go NC or should I just say "You're welcome"?

What's the true DJ way???

well i said she "rejected me" because she might have construed it as my asking her out. but i suppose i was never rejected to begin with if i never had any intention of doing the horizontal monstermash with her.

The problem is that you did not do anything to get SEXUAL with the waitress. Next time, try writing your name and number on the tip with a note to call you for a good time and then stuff the tip down her blouse.

lol, I've always wanted to try leaving my number on my bill for a waitress. Also I've thought about writing my number on a bill for the cute girls I've served at the bar I work at.
 

"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.

She, in fact, is fat and ugly, so yes.

arguable a "freind rejection" is WORSE than a love/sex rejection - your not even good enougth to hang out with!
Yeah, I don't really care about that.

IMO if it had that tone, then its boring, what did ur email say?? care to post it?
Email was boring. But I wasn't trying to engage her emotions. She made an argument. She was clearly wrong. And I wanted a chance to refute it.

Sounds petty, I know. But I like winning on these things.
