"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"

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.

So I was walking around y'know being social, being me and I approached this set at lunch. This is a summary of that approach.

So I think I said "Hey" to the girls and then opened with "So... do any of you girls dance?". Then blah blah, they start talking and I think one of the girls says that she kind of dances. Then I start talking about why I like girls who dance and blah blah blah, I remember one of the girls laughing at something I said at one point. Not long after that, this one dude came into the set and the Danielle girl almost instantly switched her attention to him, but the other girls still had their eyes on me.

So eventually one of the girls asks me if I'm a good dancer and I tell her how I mostly grind. Blah blah, eventually I figure out the names of the girls that table I DIDN'T know. I already knew the Lizzie girl, but I figured out that one of their names was Lauren. The other girl I didn't knows, name was Samantha. After I found out there names I made a joke about this saying something like "Ah, she killed the cycle, both of your names start with L, but her name starts with S, she must feel pretty lonely over there. But she's still cute" and then Lizzie girl is like "She is cute".

So eventually I'm having fun with these girls and try to number close Lizzie girl, but despite interest, she rejects. So I say f*ck it and then keep talking to them a little after that and eventually close the set.
So yeah, that was that set.
 

"How I Made Sure No Woman Ever Friend-Zoned Me Again"

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.

"but despite interest, she rejects."

She wasn't interested, or at least, not enough to number close around her friends.

I haven't read any of your infamous FR's before, but how's your isolating? That would've helped immensely.
 

"I just moved here from Florida."

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.

So, you assume the girl (lizzie) was interested in you becasue she looked at you?

How do you know how she reacts to people she likes? She didn't want you to have her phone number - pretty good sign she wasn't interested, lol.

You should try and establishe a baseline first. Whereby, you see how how a girl reacts to a person she has ambivilent feelings towards. For all you know she could give 'eyes' to everyone, or is 'touchy feely' to everyone, and that if she was interested in you she would actually be all over you.


BTW, I've probably explained 'baselines' really badly, lol

but you did nothing. It didn't even seem like they were interested in you and you didn't do anything to make them interested (from what you wrote anyway). Try and switch up your game (C&F works for me) and try not to approach a girl with her friends. I doubt she'd give you her number unless you were really good (which you aren't).

I notice that in everyone one of your posts you say "theyre interested"... girls having interest in talking to you and having sexual interest with you are 2 completely different things. Most of the sets you open show some interest in talking to you, but not interest in having sex with you, your getting their "interest" all mixed up

lol to you guys if the girl doesn't give the number it's not interest, which is a completely incorrect mindset. Also HandyAndy, approach, then give advice.
 

"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"

She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.

Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.

The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.

Argh! I actually thought there was hope for elstud (I didn't realise how far off he was, lol).

How does her, not giving you her number equate with interest?


SHE WASN'T INTERESTED ELSTUD!

Dude ElStud what I think is that you were coming on too sexually. When you're high school, and not at the club, you can't ask for someone's number after you've been sexually flirting with her whole group of friends. That's awkward and sleazy, like you're basically saying "lets have sex some time," and you haven't got enough attraction to offer that message. Take time and make her comfortable with you if you see her regularly at school. Maybe you could have isolated your target first?


Lol why do you guys clown on ELStud so much? Is he so hopeless that you can't help him be a DJ?
 

"I'm Not Looking for Anything Serious Right Now"

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.

ElStud, I think I get what you're saying. By interest I assume you mean in the present sense ie. she was interested in the encounter, but that doesn't equate to an interest in getting to know you better.

I was talking to a girl I used to work with, real party girl. And she admitted that even if a girl gives a fake number, it doesn't mean she didn't have fun. Make sense? So a fake number doesn't mean she couldn't stand talking to you. This particular girl gives out fake numbers all the time cos she's not interested in any kind of relationship.

Now I'm no expert at approaching women, but why would you ask girls who are having lunch about dancing? Generally you wait until you're in a place where you can dance.

Where was the samantha girl sitting? Anyway, that came across as you admitting to Lizzie you were attracted to samantha. Then you tried to number close lizzie? She may have been interested but you might have given the impression you were more into samantha.

Yeah exactly. Girls will give numbers and FLAKE ALL THE TIME. Do you really call that interest? I don't think it is. I've talked to tons of interested girls who have declined the numbers. The girls will even be asking me questions and stuff, but when I number close they'll make up an excuse. This girl named Lauren I knew even randomly opened a convo with me, even though she has a boyfriend. Heck, this Taneesha girl I didn't even know opened a convo with me.

Now I'm no expert at approaching women, but why would you ask girls who are having lunch about dancing? Generally you wait until you're in a place where you can dance.
Well basically seduction isn't really a words game. It's more of your whole mindset and overall personality which attracts woman. I myself have said sone pretty crazy sttuff to girls and still had them interested plus I've heard of more experienced guys doing MUCH crazier stuff and still get interest.

I think my biggest problem is, is that I still care about outcome too much and I'm just not having enough fun with the girls in my sets. But yeah, I definitely still care too much for outcome which is a problem.

Hah, a girl could give you guys a number of IOI's, even start flirting with you, but then you assume she's uninterested because she didn't give you the number. That's a great mindset.

maybe your perception of ioi's and flirting is just off... but im actually going to try and give you a piece of advise for once.

if i were you i would try and find one girl that you can actually get interest out of and get a girlfriend. you need to get really comfortable around girls, because you are obviously doing something wrong. stop trying to pickup chicks and get into a relationship that you can count on for a little bit and once you figure out how to keep it going you will be much better off in all aspects of life dealing with the other sex. from my understanding you dont have many female "friends" that you can just talk to. you need girls that you can talk to, weather it just be a friend or a girlfriend, to learn how to communicate without the pressure of pickup... you are too worried about technique while you need a good base to start with.

i hope you can take some of that advise.
 

"She's Out of Your League"

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.
