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.
Don't think its a good time. I'm pro bitcoin so definitely biased here but with covid, supply chain issues, economic issues due to the two previous issues, money printer go burrrr issue, lack of faith in governments because of all the prior issues, it's really hard to bet against bitcoin.
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 bought in that area too, kept a lot on the sidelines though in case we kept dropping. Wish I bought more but that is always the case. Agree on the macro big picture. It is more dangerous to not own bitcoin at this point.
The move.up has been too fast with no retraces..now over $28 billion in long liquidation points that haven't been tapped yet. The higher it gets with no retrace, the bigger the retrace when it finally comes
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.
Potentially that certainly is possible. Nothing is guaranteed in Bitcoin though, every so often you get some monster candle both ways.
I also longed LTC right around that range as well. Doing well in that position and scaled into it on the way up.
Nice, I still have my LTC bags from 17. Been waiting for another parabolic spike so I can sell for years now haha
yeah, i have a big bag also with smart contracts and mweb, I have high hopes. It's also one of the alt coins i don't feel horrible for hodling like an XRP or DOGE.
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.
Waiting for the higher low here. Let's see.Bitcoin not crashing enough
You just got a lower high.
You paid for dinner. You drove. You said "whatever you want is fine" every single time. All the effort, no expectations.

There is an easy solution to this. Just buy and hold.
Ha. Wish I held that inverse position today. Might buy back in
I think you are nuts but to each their own. Good luck!
The bounce would be ahead of the Super Bowl and crypto ads being seen by the largest TV audience of the year.
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.
