Hi Duke. Just wanted to say I think your journal is really cool, and it sounds like you are becoming quite the ladies' man. Keep up the good work!!
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.
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.
the one on the first page where u fluffed up the pick up for the girls that were working and Don Ronny gave you the lines about i read in the Times that working is bad for you and there is only one way to cure it.Originally posted by Duke

Bloody hell, it's my British buddy JSH! When you said "revision," what were you referring to? And what "angle" do you intend to use? You got me curious. Don't leave me hangin'! [/B]
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.
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.
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.
hahahhahahahhahha Duke your the Fvckin man. With clubbing I think your objective should be more along the lines of getting them to dance. That way you can grind on them in your sexual state and get them horny. When there horny you should try to get them alone by any means.Originally posted by Duke
Me: Hey, either one of you want an extra straw?
UG: Why would we want an extra straw we already have one.
Me: Uh... you can sip your drink twice as fast.
Thanks PP! To most girls dancing doesn't mean anything, and besides that, I'm a better talker than I am a dancer. My lips will weave my magic, not my hips. I do believe, however, that dancing is a good way to get the chick away (haha, I don't want to say isolate cuz I feel like a fukking ax-murderer) from her friends.Originally posted by Peter Parker

As far as the b/f thing goes you guys need to be careful. Chicks are fvcked up I’m sure for half the beef in my neighborhood there’s some gyals behind it pulling the strings. If the girl is throwing herself at you sure Why the fvck not. But if your pursuing really hard just think that she might be using you as a test to see how much of a tough guy her b/f really is.
