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 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.
Tell her to stop talking about her ex, if she doesn't, leave her.axxo said:Yes if she is not over with her ex yet. If your ex is doing that on you, be careful. Do not badmouth her ex. Don't be judgmental. Just keep quiet and listen to her. If she keeps on talking about her ex all the time, hard NEXT her. She is obviously not a good LTR material.
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.
I'll bite. How do you bring that up without sounding controlling or whiny (Read: AFC).KontrollerX said:"I'm just wondering if your guys's girlfriends talk about their ex boyfriends a lot."
The reason undesireable sh!t like this happens to you guys is because you don't set your frame for how you want the relationship to be from the beginning.
Meaning that in the very beginning of the relationship you and your girl need to go over both of your personal do's and don'ts and if your girl does not live up to the bargain you walk away and find another girl and vice versa if you break the agreement.
Its just that fvcking simple but you guys insist on making life harder for yourselves.
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.
