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.
FYI, I went to an early showing of Happy Feet last night and it's no Toy Story. Potions of it were a bit deep and it actually troubled some of the younger kids in the audience. You may want to consider having something fun and upbeat to do after the movie.DJinTraining06 said:Yea she picked the whole happy feet idea. I dont like movies as dates, unless its my gf. Im gonna suggest drinks. Altho its gonna be perfect dinner time, so i may not be able to avoid that. Think drinks r good?
You paid for dinner. You drove. You said "whatever you want is fine" every single time. All the effort, no expectations.
And she left anyway — probably for a guy who makes her pick up the pizza.
Painful. Also predictable. Her mind quietly concludes that anything requiring zero effort from her is worth exactly zero. You became a free sample, and free samples get taken for granted.
The 22 Rules flip the dynamic. Small shifts that get her investing effort, money, and time in you — until SHE'S the one afraid of losing YOU.

There really are a lot of freaks online and the woman just needs to make sure you aren't a psycho threat, and having a friend with her is protection in her mind.. Don't let her pull it on you for the second date but for the first I'd let it slide.. Who knows, you may like the friend better :-D
mrRuckus said:There aren't any more freaks online than in the rest of life. She meets you in public and she's fine. She doesn't need a friend. What if she asked if her mom could come?
If you're psycho you'd just kill both of them instead anyway. Even if both came they should still be meeting you in a public place. At which point i still don't get it because some psycho is going to appear completely normal until he gets the girl in private anyway. He could just wait till the second date or until he's lulled the friend into false security and she goes home.
Ever see those newscasts after some crazy murderer gets caught? All the neighbors: "he was always the nicest guy. i wouldn't think he could do something like that in a million years."
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.
Well if u live in fantasy land yes, but in real life the odds of a menage a toia (however u spell it) are very low, and the odds of banging her firend instead of her are low too. Unless they r super skankmasters.Grandmaster Sexay said:I would have agreed instantly. Two is better than one.
Who knows. Considering you haven't met them yet, they could may well turn out to be super skankmasters, especially is one is rather caper.DJinTraining06 said:Well if u live in fantasy land yes, but in real life the odds of a menage a toia (however u spell it) are very low, and the odds of banging her firend instead of her are low too.

I kid you not. It wasn't bad but people expected something much different. The previews doesn't depict what the movie is really about.DJinTraining06 said:happy feet was troubling? lol r u kididng?
You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.
Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.
She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.
Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.
