Dinner ran three hours. She laughed at everything. You walked her to her car thinking this one's locked in.
Then: nothing. Two texts. No reply. What happened?
You did what most men do on a great date. You filled every silence, answered every question, and left her with nothing to wonder about. No mystery. Nothing to sit with when she got home.
Rule 3 of the "22 Rules" changes the ending: tell her a little, hold back the rest, and let her imagination do the chasing. The ghosting stops too.
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.
nice general tips. I'm looking for tips right now because I'm bringing some girl to a bar to meet some co-workers and would like to escalate things a bit (at least to find out if she's interested so I don't waste my time with her). But your tips will work for that situation too. Thanks.blueline said:-Scan the room for eye contact
-If any girl shoots you any EC, go up to her and start talking to her while giving her deep EC
-Speak in a soft, deep voice
-Only say just enough to keep the conversation flowing, but nothing more
-If there are any awkward blips yet she's still being friendly, just HOLD the EC - this is what we call sexual tension.
-TOUCH her ASAP (start from friendly shoulder touches to more sexualized things)
-handshake with your palm up and hold that *****'s hand if she's giving you good non-verbals
if you do the above, you will not even need to verbalize your interest, she will know exactly what is up from the moment you look at her.
Nice, man. Just be friendly and do what I said above. I have run the same game in a coffee shop in a similar situation and the girl said she needed to be somewhere alone with me after 20 minutes of it. That's my only type of game.Kal0051 said:nice general tips.

sorry to go a bit off topic, shouldn't you find out her interest before introducing her to people you know, such as co-workers?I'm looking for tips right now because I'm bringing some girl to a bar to meet some co-workers and would like to escalate things a bit (at least to find out if she's interested so I don't waste my time with her).
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.
