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.
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.
Walking through a forest or something, where you are exploring in nature is indeed great. I've done that too, it gets girls relaxed and in a great mood. Perfect time to pull the first kiss on her.Originally posted by The_Shezzler
I went Hiking with a girl once, I only suggested that we walk for a couple of miles.....6 hours later and we were still walking - Great Conversations, Good KINO and a fun time.
Give it a try - 1-10 depending on how long you can stretch out a convo - easy!
Sarge On...
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.
Not hating or disrespecting but that is f*ckd up. .Anyhow all this date ideas is cool and all but alot of it is limited by our age becuase not everybody have their licence(which suck ass). But overall a good post.Originally posted by phish

take her 2 the beach, munching on teh peach.
if it all goes gr8, u will m8.
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.
This is the funniest thing i've ever read on this forum.CyranoDeBergerac said:Shave your heads and go wig shopping. hehehehe
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.
I don't agree with your last comment. Spontaneity is great, but having an actual plan can make all the difference. You might just be a last-minute planner (if you pick things in the moment). Brainstorming ahead of time is a major plus imo.DJ4Real said:Mix the date up...don't always do ordinary stuff.
Go swimming (late at night).
Take a nice ride out somewhere (with food and drink).
or you could mix up some of the ordinary stuff:
Movies and Park
etc...The best dates are those that are unplanned.
Your game should always be "on". However, she is just a friend at the moment (even though she was an ex at one point).Ken88 said:Ok so I am taking my ex girlfriend to prom. It has been almsot a year since we went out and she recently started instant messaging me to me a few weeks ago out of the blue. I want to hang out with her a few times before hand so its not akward. I dont know if she just wants to go to prom or is into me again. What are some good idea for things or places to do/ go to and hang out? And how should I act if we see a movie or somethin? Should I jsut act like its a friend or turn on my "game."?
Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."
You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.
She's been waiting forty minutes.
Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.
