I don't want to do anything that is going to cost me money, just I don't want to ask like everyone else does. Any ideas? Thanks.
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.
You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.
Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.
She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.
Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.
Yea, well I have no problem spending a little bit, I just dont want something that is going to be expensive.PumpingIron13 said:Ha Ha dude you should at least spend money on flowers when you actually ask her. I mean theres a bunch of cool creative things you could do but you should be willin to spend a bit since youll probly have to anyways,its prom right. I know this one guy asked this chick by leavin clues for her where she had to do a bunch of random things like go to a boys bathroom at the bla bla bla and get the next clue all leadin back to her house where he was waiting with some flowers. Thats just an idea though be creative the best ideas are the ones you think up. if not go with the flowers ------>:flowers:
Exactly. Do not buy her flowers, thats ridiculous.Mctwist4 said:Since when do you have to buy flowers just to ask a girl to prom. The girl should be happy enough to be going with you in the first place.
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.
Nice, I like this idea. I think I will be using it.Krak said:Exactly. Do not buy her flowers, thats ridiculous.
Walk up to HB
You: So, what time should I pick you up for prom?
HB: I'm going to prom with you?
You: Yep
HB: ok! bla bla bla
What if HB replies with something awkward, ie "uh...what are you talking about?"Krak said:Exactly. Do not buy her flowers, thats ridiculous.

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.
