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.
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.
ShortyMac said:because I had a good steak that means I am not telling the truth.
That is funny.
Yes so what if I banged her roomate the next night. Remember one thing girls are jealous and they dont like to see another girl have one up on her.
I have never dated a girl where one of her "friends" didnt try to bang me. I know it wasnt because she liked me or was into me. It was her "ace in the hole" if she ever got in a fight with her friend she could say I banged your man
Women a re just like men in that they are competitive. Men do it in sports, t work, physically. Women do it socially, with shoes, purses, and the men they are dateing. Ever here a bunch of girls rip one of their friends apart after she walks away because of the shirt she has on? Women are just catty that way
The sooner you all realize that the better
As for telling you what I did. I can give you the step by step, the play by play, but that wont help.
There is no formula. What works on one will not work on another. There is no "recipie" to getting a girl.
"SoSuave" is just what is says. "Suave" Be cool, be CONFIDENT (most important). and Just go with the flow. Read the signals and act accordingly.
Saying there is a formula for picking up a girl is like saying there is a formula for winning a fight.
Not every opponet is going to attack you the same way, not everyone leads with a left jab, some might kick, some might bite.
The only weapon you can have that is universal is a good defense, know how to protect yourself, and be keen enough to anticipate your opponents next move and be quick enough to defend accordingly and "counter attack"
It may be a poor analogy, but the same goes for chatting up women.
One may be a ball buster, one may be quiet and reserved.
Just do what "Suave" means and be cool and go with the flow.
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.
