"She Laughed All Night. Then She Ghosted You. Here's Why."

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.

So I was just walking and I started talking to this one Freshman girl. Can't remember very much of the convo, but I know early in the convo I started talking about how she resembled my ex girlfriend and stuff and that seemed to get interest from her. Then I remember at one point asking for her name and talking about how I remember her from indoor track. Eventually I started telling her how cute she was and all that stuff. Once I even said I should call her "Fuzzy" because her hair was so fuzzy or something. And this girls just all taking it in and showing interest. Eventually I started talking about Rock Band and said something like "Listen, I'm going to call you so we can play Rock Band one day" and I just gave her the phone and she put the number in. Eventually I ended the set hugging her, to which she hugged back and I left the set. This set was really just practice and to be honest, I'm probably not even going to bother calling her.

Note, that this is just an FR, a report of what happened in field. If you don't have anything positive to say or you want to hate or make assumptions, you'll probably get ignored. If you're the kind of person who argues when people don't take their advice, you best not post.
 

"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.

whats with you and rock band? girls dont want to play video games with you...
And yet let's count the number of numbers I've gotten by talking about it. "Girls don't want to play video games with you..." coming from a guy who publicly admitted he's scared to approach. You might want to get in some of your own number closes before giving others advice HandyAndy.

Girls play Rock Band. Don't be so harsh.

If he was bringing them over to play Halo 2 that would be a different story.
 

"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.

Don't give a reason why you want their number. Just take it.

Congrats.

Why not use the number to practice the next stage of "seduction"? Might aswell practice what you do AFTER you get the number.

Great job on the approach, your talkin about the ex g/f probably qualified her. Question though, how come you don't want to follow through with this girl? If she actually comes over to play rock band, she'll likely be willing to be your groupie.

Well lol she's only a Freshman and to be honest I'm not even really interested in her.
 

"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.

Don't feed who? One of the only guys here who has PROOF of his success? Don't feed the guy who actually goes out? No we need to stop feeding trolls and haters like you, who are probably too scared to go out and do sh*t.

guys, he's 18.

He's hitting on 14 year olds (maybe 15 but I doubt it). Come on this is almost child abuse.

And Elstud, Rock Band is not cool unless you are a god at the game. And besides, I think you should call this girl and let us know what comes of it. It would be hilarious if a 14 year old rejected you.

Also, it's not a good idea to lie to a girl right off the bat. You telling her about your ex? WTF?

Uhh, if he's talking about freshman in high school, am I the only one here that knows it's illegal to do anything to her for 3+ years, depending on the state? Come on, man.

FYI, telling a girl she looks like your ex-girlfriend is not typically a good line.
 

"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.

You can laugh HandyAndy, but it will not change the fact that you are a chode, who can't approach women. The rest of the post is just people hating even though I got the number, kind of jealous if you ask me. Seriously though, HandyAndy's one of those guys who talks all the crap and gives all the advice, but then when you actually take him out into the field he couldn't do sh*t. Especially since this guy publicly admitted his fear of approaching.

Yeah, so in his mindset, don't listen to me if you don't want success with girls since I have proof pull numbers and get interest.
