any more examples of being ****y and funny?
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.
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.
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.
Practice on everyone is some of the best advice I have heard because I do this and it puts you into a excellent mindset it shows the ideal mindset and makes work much better on you (never know when an attractive woman will walk in on you guysOriginally posted by MrCode
Also take the advice earlier in the thread and practice on EVERYONE. Your friends, coworkers, and family will all enjoy a nice C&F attitude (except go easy on the sexual stuff, obviously), and by doing this it makes the whole mindset natural for you, instead of something you only do around women.
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 fvcing OWNED HIM! HAHAHAHAHH!!Originally posted by neobrood
***C & F can also be practiced on guys and girls youre not interested in. The more you practice, the better you will get at it.

In a party when I was talking about my failure in picking up a pakistani girl
Dude: HAHAHAHA! What kind of a loser fails in picking up a low level woman? (this guy is racist. Indians, pakistanis, and other mideasterns are "low level")
Other dudes: (*laughter*)
Me: And what kind of a loser does not even try at all? (*looking at the dude who said that to me*)
Dude: (*stops laughin. Falls silent*)
Other dudes: (*louder laughter*)
