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.
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.
I'm not replacing her, merely waiting until she gets back.Zerix said:Damn! Funny **** up in Tijuana... lesson learned
Now that you girl is gone, progress with the new ones![]()
Oh, of course, didn't mean replace her. Just that, can't ya have some fun while she's gone? You know SHE mightSadao said:I'm not replacing her, merely waiting until she gets back.
Just got to practice man, I certainly did in the beginning.Flabbergasped? said:You're awesome, man.
I think what's strikes me the most is how little you use this DJ stuff in your FRs. It seems to all come naturally. I wish I was like that, I struggle for poon lol
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.
Yea I know, I try not to think about that. But you can be damn sure that I won't be sitting around on my ass until she gets back.Zerix said:Oh, of course, didn't mean replace her. Just that, can't ya have some fun while she's gone? You know SHE might![]()

Yea, haven't really decided how I'll respond to all of that, but I'll wait a couple days to respond anyway.Docs said:Hmm. Sounds like she really digs you.
I dunno, drawing something up like how it's not the same without her (don't imply missing), could work.
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.
god I can't wait for my car! :crackup:Sadao said:pool party later on
ahaha, the cell phone...Sadao said:Ok so this morning I wake up and hop in the shower with hb9model half awake in my bed. I think to myself while i'm in the shower that I shouldn't have left my phone on the nightstand but figured that she wouldn't be so nosy as to investigate. Now, the bathroom door is somewhat quiet so she didn't hear me come out and sure enough she's got my phone open in her hands hah. "Find anything interesting in my phone?" I say, and she responds with "Oh I was just looking for games." There wasn't any other discussion about this but it's got me curious, I guess it's a sign that I'm doing the right **** and keeping her interested in the mystery that is myself! And btw we're still not "exclusive", my chick friend doesn't think I'll ever be in a relationship with her unless I bring it up, but I'm still holding strong.
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.
