"The Kiss of Death Mistake"

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.

This chick reached out to me on social media and showed interest in meeting up. I entertained her lightly for a couple weeks before setting the first date which led to only a little making out.

2nd date was a hike and drinks in the hot tub after. Some heavy petting and more making out.

Did the standard waiting for her to reach out after each date to re-engage and set up the next.

Got lots of excuses and resistance for meetup 3 as you’ll see some of in these texts. After the first round of pushback for meetup 3, I put her on ice for a few days. Then hit her back and she was compliant last night and it finally led to her coming back to my place and spending the night for s*x.

In bed she said I have the “player vibe” and that scared her (see text message), she kept joking about it and I just kept playing it off - saying things like “what do you mean?” Etc.

Anyway, she took me out to breakfast this morning and said she was gonna bake me some cookies before I leave town for work this weekend.

Here’s some screenshots….

"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.

"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.

@firstbornunicorn There are a few things that CW harps on that I think hold up, fundamental basics…

@Zimbabwe It wasn’t really much effort. Much less and I woulda just been being lazy and leaving some p*ssy on the table. I guess I should clarify, she’s hot - like paid Instagram baddie - so I’d say it was a good score.

This is the lamest texting I've seen in a while. She must really be into you.
Haha thanks, kinda why I put it up. Just for a data point. Text game could be terrible but some kind of communication got her in my bed.

btw I’m in blue

Hi Rick,
Classic Moves,you are really one of us now....So Pound away!
 

"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"

You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.

For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.

Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.

The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.

RickPound, this girl must have lower SMV or see's it that way. Very impersonable texting. Not a way to build rapport.

Yea they are examples of resistance I sensed and her excuses. We don’t really text a lot anyway.
I’m leaving town today for a work trip so she came over last night and cooked me dinner. Then we built rapport, and again this morning - if you know what I mean
