Which is why I'm jealous of girls when they are young
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.
Traveling is great, it gives you a lot to talk aboutthunder_god said:Week 2 day 4: I'm feeling a lot better today, I guess it must be because I am excited about planning my trip to NYC. It at least gives me some purpose. First time doing a solo trip, but I think I really need the time away from my home to get my head back on straight. I have to admit I am pretty nervous and worried about getting my head cut off or something travelling alone to NYC.
I'm also going to go to my athletic center tomorrow and sign up for ballroom dancing. It will be a good opportunity to meet new females. I'm trying to come up with places and ideas on where to meet females in a more relaxed environment, which I tend to do a lot better in. Also have my friends birthday party tomorrow, afterwards hitting up the party at the museum. I'm kind of excited but I think I will try to go into each event being outcome independent and not expecting anything other than to have fun. Well see how it goes tomorrow.
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.
Thanks, I'm really looking forward to it. I'm really trying to break out of my shell and get out there without having anyone chain me down like in the past. I'm deliberately choosing to stay at a hostel so that I am forced to mingle and meet people. My approaching skills still suck ass but at least I am now putting myself out there. It'll force me to practice and talk to people especially girls, if I put myself in environments where I know there are women out there. I figure eventually I will meet someone who I'm interested in and is interested in me, and/or my skills with women will improve tremendously. I'm just taking baby steps, one day at a time.beatjunkie said:Good luck thunder! NYC is always a great place to take your mind off things. Have a good time and I'm sure you will feel better thereafter!
Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.
She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.
Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.
So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.
The words come later. The impression comes first.
I would love to go there one day, but I'm broke at the moment, but its definitely on my bucket list. I feel like fate wants me to go to NYC at the moment. The dates I picked to go and return, were the exact dates that 3 girls in my class chose to go, also a fellow DJ here who I have been corresponding with for several months lives there as well, so things just seem to be connected to NYC for me right now. Plus its not too far away home for me which makes travelling alone for the first time not too scary.JaegerPilot217 said:Hawaii is a great place too
She calls you when her car breaks down. When she needs help moving. When some guy she's actually dating treats her badly.
You're the listener. The reliable one. The guy who would treat her so much better, if she'd just open her eyes.
She won't. You trained her to see you as the low-effort option — the friend who requires zero risk and zero investment. Every favor dug the hole deeper.
The "22 Rules" break the pattern. You'll stop auditioning for a role she already cast and become the man she chases instead. It starts with Rule 1.
Its in paperback and ebook format. You can buy it off of amazon or read it on the guys's website understandingrelationships.com.JaegerPilot217 said:Is Corey Wayne's book an e-book? Did you read it on your tablet, phone or computer?
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.
