"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.

Hey how do/are you guys making the transition from Afc:eek: to DJ:D without becoming the 'dreaded' jerk:box: ? Im a natural smartass, but a good guy at heart. (I know its better to be a jerk then a 'nice' guy most of the time with the ladies but still...) Ive read all the articles, just looking for some personal experience.
Peace,
 

"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.

Well, see jerk is someone that doesnt give a DAM, and girls like that! Jerks smoke, act like BADBOYS, hangout with many chiks, and just dont give a dam. I used to be a nice guy, but when i transfered to HIgh school things changed. Well it doesnt matter who u r, CONFIDENCE is all that matters. NICE GUYS dont have ****, they r too DAM scared to become someone they wanna be, they always complaining to themselves that they r ugly, poor, and have no friends and confidence, or whatever. To me all the jerk is, is the guy thats full of confidence. He lives a live like there is no tomorow, he doesnt care if the girl will dump him, or if the guy will kick his ass for stealing his gf, or if his mom gets upset becouse he came drunkk from the party! NICE guys, what can i say they think too much, And when the life is about to end, they die without even having fun. DON JUAN is the guy who has both, he is like nice guy and the bad boy and the jerk, He has carrier, women, and happines in his life.

I'm the same type of person as you man. For a nice guy like us it takes practice to see how far is too much. I learned where the point of being the real jerk is so I know where to stop. I think that experience helped me develop the confidence that I have now. But really I don't like the jerk thing; I agree with shydude that its just all confidence despite who you are. The stage of becoming a temporary jerk was just a phase of going out of my boundaries as a quiet guy

There is no 1-2 path to becoming a DJ from AFC. The path wanders and zigzags. You need to make mistakes. You need to become a Jerk, a Player, and an AFC, among lots of other things, to develop a strong DJ personality. Sure, you can read about it all day, but the only way that you can truly become a DJ is through failure and experience. Make a mistake, crash and burn, FAIL, but learn from it.

"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.

It's like puberty to become a man you eventually go through all the steps. Being a player and jerk isn't bad if you LEARN from the experiance so that when you transition to a DJ you know not to make the mistakes. In conclusion, I agree with daimon. :rockon:

You will eventually try out every aspect of being a DJ and you're bound to take each one to the extreme (jerk, player, etc.). This, I believe, is to give you a feeling of what you're comfortable with and which amounts of each aspect are applicable in varying situations.
