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.
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.
one of the many exact reasons for why i thought of this question. i pretty much agree with a response like that, unless she was going to town on me. at that point id have to say "fvck it" and just deck her one good time. :box:CaptainJ said:This is a question I'm interested about. What do you do if a girl hits/slaps/attacks you? Do you hit back? I'm assuming no, because not only will all the Captain Save a hoe's turn around and jump you, but you'd get fvcked over in the court system if it ever came to it.
I think the best thing to do is take the hit, and grab her arms roughly, so she can't move. Any ideas?
Things have to be so messed up for something like that to happen that there's only one way to handle:FinalWay said:like the topic says...ever had it happen? i mean a good hard punch. who was it? girlfriend, some chick, wife etc. how or why did it happen and how did you react?
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.
i'm gonna go ahead and agree with what you said as this would of been my first choice if it ever happened. anybody have any real life situation with this?tafakna said:Things have to be so messed up for something like that to happen that there's only one way to handle:
Take the punch, look straight in her eyes in contempt, turn away and leave for good. I mean no contact whatsoever, no emailing, no texting.
Physical aggression is one thing that deserves NC forever, or else you will be validating the ultimate form of disrespect.
By doing this you avoid any sort of closure and make her spend the rest of her life in regret. That's the ultimate form of revenge.
Hope it never comes to this though.

When a woman says it, guys hear a confession. A heads-up. A scheduling conflict.
Here's the translation: I don't feel anything. Right now. With you.
Watch what happens when a man triggers actual attraction. The busy career, the recent breakup, the "not in a place to date" — all of it evaporates instantly. The same woman who was guarding her freedom is suddenly free every night.
The "22 Rules" explain why. When the right switches flip, her timeline rearranges itself around you.
and you lived happily ever after? jkbeatoven said:I got socked in the stomach by my [hot] supervisor at work.
I touched her on the shoulder to get her attention, and she wheeled around and knocked the wind out of me.
Later I found out she really liked me, and my touch was so unexpected and profound she didn't know how to react.
Yes, although it would have been better if my coworkers weren't standing there and laughing their asses off when I got I punched lol.FinalWay said:and you lived happily ever after? jk![]()
Actually I reckon it would most likely work but there is risk involved.DistrictofPenguins said:Don't hit her back, that's a horrible idea.
