"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"

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.

So, I met this wonderful girl a couple of weekends ago in the club. We danced, kissed exchanged numbers/ Facebook and all that. 2 weeks after she spent the weekend at my place ( she's from another city ) and we had lots of fun and after a couple of weekend I went at her place.

Here's the story: at her place while we had fun, I got a Tinder match on my phone and me wanting to make a joke I showed it to her. Obviously she got upset. Once I got home, we didn't chat for a couple of days and she wrote to:"I'm not sure if we're going to succeed as a date", my reply was:" I also thought about this the last couple of days. I think you're beautiful, smart and nice but unless we're really honest about our expectation it will not work".

Moving forward: we keep texting daily, but the intensity is lower and when I ask her to speak on phone instead of texting, she seems to avoid me. I'm not sure if it's because she prefers texting. What do you think it will be the best move here ?


PS: i'm a newbie here:)
 

"She's Out of Your League"

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.

I think she's insecure. Club women are extremely aware of players, showing that to her might have made her doubtful even if it was a joke. Any sane woman I imagine would have taken it as a sign of honesty, like "oh he's showing me she doesn't stand a chance like I do". I would at least taken it that way, I'm more suspicious if it was concealed.

Dated a club woman once, I could see she tested the sh!t out of me and was very focused on showing whatever happened on her phone. Some dude here and some dude there, all orbiters being needy while I was seeing the stupidity from the other side. I bet she would have bailed if she knew I spoke with anyone else, club women are jealous drama filled b!tches.

Don't get hooked on that game. If she won't trust you then stay away. Doing so might make her resolve to give you a chance of trust since not giving a sh!t sets you apart from the average pvssy hungry club goer.

Although I'm interpreting more deeply the course of action is the same as Tictac suggests.

"Nervous Around Beautiful Women? There's a Rule for That"

I could talk to any woman I wasn't attracted to. Charming, funny, relaxed. Then a gorgeous woman looked my way and I'd become a sweating, babbling mess.

The fix took me years to find and ten minutes to learn. Nervousness and excitement are the same physical state — pounding heart, adrenaline, flushed face. Your brain just picks the label. And you can pick a better one.

Rule 16 shows you how. You feel the nerves, relabel them as excitement, and let that energy pour out as enthusiasm. Women notice the guy radiating it. They always do.

So, I met this wonderful girl...
The reason this thead exists is because you pedestalize her.

But yeah going out of your way to show her your Tinder match while hanging out at her place was very poor form. You never want to volunteer info showing that other girls are interested in you. Never. You have to be discreet. If she's interested in you, she'll find out. Either behind your back or by directly asking.

Her message "I'm not sure if we're going to succeed as a date" translates to, "I still like you but I think you're going to waste my time, so I'm going to rock the boat and see how you react. Maybe you'll make it an easy decision to drop you."

I also thought about this the last couple of days. I think you're beautiful, smart and nice but unless we're really honest about our expectation it will not work
Saying you thought about her "the last couple of days" is no bueno. Your compliments were unnecessary. You tried to turn the tables with the part about honesty and expectations, but she's not that dumb and will probably see it as ironic and condescending.

I think your best bet would have been to be honest, "Is this about the Tinder thing? That was my bad I don't know what I was thinking"

One more thing:
3 weeks ago when we saw each other last time she told me this weekend she was available ( we didn't plan anything, just left it out in the open). A couple of days ago I asked her if she wanted to come over at my place to spend the weekend and she told me " I know it sounds weird, but I plan on not having any plans this weekend". Any suggestions on how to move on from this ?

STOP TEXTING/CALLING HER!

Simple enough this time?
 

"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.

You overcompensated because you thought you compromised the relationship because of the tinder alert.

Now using the knowledge she has about the situation as a whole.. She can keep you on your heels.. and probably knows it.. and that's best for her because obviously she probably doesn't want to hurt herself either.

The thing is that I really wanna keep her and work this out. She's super nice. I usually I am the one night stand guy and I don't have any problems getting girls, but this one, she's so innocent and nice. Any advice on how do you think it's best to proceed from here and contact her again ? maybe don't talk at all with her for 3-4 days and after call her and ask her if she wants to make some plans for Valentines ?

If you do anything, you're a fool. WAIT. If she's interested, she'll get in touch. When she does, ask her out for a date/time certain. If she accepts, go. If she doesn't reach out, you know everything you need to know - you are done.
 

"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.

Don't text. Call, and only to make dates.... otherwise stay off the phone. When you are with a woman, if you can't stop yourself, turn your phone off. Pretend you don't have one.

My guess is that she isn't upset the Tinder thing.... women actually prefer men that other women want. If she thought you were her only shot a pvssy she wouldn't like you. She's backed off because you are acting like she is better than you, and if you do this too much with a woman, she will start to believe it and believe she can do better than you ... soon you'll be gone.
