You replay the conversation at 2 a.m. She texted back fast yesterday. Today, nothing. Was that smile friendly or flirty? What did the shoulder touch mean?
Every hour you spend decoding her signals drains your confidence and hands her the controls. Women can sense that insecurity from across the room — and it repels them.
One of the "22 Rules" kills the obsession on the spot: assume she likes you, and act accordingly. Sounds too simple. Works anyway.
Her interest tends to rise to meet your expectations. Psychologists call it a self-fulfilling prophecy.
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.
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
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.
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![]()
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.
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.

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.
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.
