"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"

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, Goddamnit, I know St. Patty's is long over, but I'm too busy to come post this **** right away sometimes.

Anyway-

Me and a couple homies went out St. Patty's Day (night, of course) to a pretty popular club in the downtown. This place was so damn packed, the line was a half block long, and after almost an hour of not moving, we said **** it and decided to hit a place right down the street.

I was kinda bummed because this place is known (an Irish Pub) for it's crazy ass SPD parties.

The other club we hit was pretty packed, so we went in and grabbed some drinks. I had a couple and was on my way to the bathroom to take a piss, when I saw this hot ass blond (weird for me, since I like black hair much better). Gave the standard EC, kept on my way to the pisser, and on the way back, she stopped me and said "hey, I know you, what's your name". I said, "No, you don't, but my name is *****".

Conversated for a few, and I suggested that we go take a shot. She agreed, so we went up to the bar and ordered. Were sitting there bull****ting, and I can tell already she's an AW. Testing me with, "oh, I'm here with this guy, but I'd rather talk to you" type BS.

I play along, push-pull, and eventually, I say "Hey, I gotta go, were gonna hit a different club". She says "No, stay here with me", blah, blah.

10 minutes go by, more AW behavior, flirting around with random dudes. So I'm chatting up the cute bartender, asking her how to make certain shots, just BSing, and this HB AW gets weirdly almost jealous, WTF?

Finally, I tell her I'm leaving because I got bro's with me and I'm bored. She invites us to a party a few miles away at her house as it's almost 2am now. I resist and she practically begs me to come.

So I get the green light from the homies, and we go. As soon as we get there, she's like "come check out my room".

Okay.....

Some making out, then we go upstairs to get a drink. There's not a hell of alot of people there, but both my friends are macking they're own chicks, thank God....so I can take care of ****.

Anyway, we go back downstairs to her room and, OMFG, she's a biter and scratcher. Were still not done and the sun's coming up. She got her's but I was too drunk to get off, damnit.

Got the number. Supposed to go out this weekend.

It's not gonna go anywhere. She's a girl who I ****ed the first time I tried, a big red flag in my book, plus an AW. But a FB maybe.
 

"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.

Hmm... hats off to ya for getting the close, but you didn't really work any skill. Besides not being a pushover. I guess you're just lucky but that's enough for ya. Though I doubt anyone learned from this. She was looking for a fvck just as much as you were. Lucky circuimstances, that's all.

*thumbs up*

Yeah, I'll agree for the most part.

It's been so long since I posted a FR, though.

My point was that AW's are easily flipped 180 by ignoring they're bull****.
 

"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."

Attraction runs on a clock.

She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.

The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."

One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.

Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.
