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.
At this point that seems true,it's dumb that she couldn't just be straight forward instead of being fakely interested,guess if I get bored I'll shoot her another text, 9 days is quite some time lol.
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.
It's when you are dating a she devil that pretends to be a hot woman that you unwittingly find yourself falling in love with.
Are you suggesting that's what I should do?
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.
True,I'm thinking she had a bad dating experiment after me,she hasn't ignored my previous texts and it's been 2 weeks since the date,on the fence about texting,just feel if she hasn't reached out since right after the date she's not interested idk.
Just to clarify. I lived in the "country" during my time doing OLD. However, I was about a hour from 2 different cities (Baltimore and Philadelphia) and was about 5 minutes from a major college campus. So while I did live down a long dirt road, and in what basically looked like a shack - the # of women in my area was very high.
