"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.

im bitter and furious right now, came back from a 2nd date with this lawyer lady and she's been using me this whole time as an orbiter.. really p1sses me off they keep leading me on. she wouldn't let me kiss close and when i suggested her dress up for me some time she's like 'nah' making a joke about it.. i stormed off. then she proceeds to BS text me something about being cold (basically a attention wh0re msg to check that im still interested. im not replying.)

same as the other one i met last week.. all be it i was timid, i kind of walked off at the end of our date/meet when she said she was heading to the pub opposite to see her landlord.. (she texted me 2 days later at the time i suggested to meet originally about visiting to the 2 shops i suggested.,. again attention wh0ring to make sure i was still interested.. when i texted the next day to meet up she completely ignored it, i should have never replied in first place)

im going to see these 2 again around my area as we live 2 mins from each other.. how should one act? im bitter and furious right now and have right mind to cross the road if i see them.. but that'll show that im affected by them.. would a man with options have a smile on his face? i know they'll try to come up and kiss me on both cheeks to keep me sweet.. should i let them or be stand offish?
 

"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.

Polite, happy, but short with them. You're busy.

Remember, they are trained actresses to "act" in court. They might be flirty or friendly, but it's all fake.
so should i allow them to kiss me on my cheeks? i cant help but give them the death stare for using me and ignoring my messages.

i want to hit it on the money, polite, happy, in good spirits and drift off not listening to them. i.e. not interested but cordial?

man.. this is going to be hard to do.. im a very expressive person.. people can tell when im not pleased.. it's going to be hard to fake.

Unfazed. You wanted something else out of your time, they wanted something else and you didn't care for it. Can't let b!tches and h0es impact your life. Carry on. Make it clear you're interested in them for sex (as well as other things, don't creep) and if it's not there, you've got other chicks to hit up (even if you don't yet). Keep your time valuable.
 

"Why Women Dump the Guys Who Try the Hardest"

You paid for dinner. You drove. You said "whatever you want is fine" every single time. All the effort, no expectations.

And she left anyway — probably for a guy who makes her pick up the pizza.

Painful. Also predictable. Her mind quietly concludes that anything requiring zero effort from her is worth exactly zero. You became a free sample, and free samples get taken for granted.

The 22 Rules flip the dynamic. Small shifts that get her investing effort, money, and time in you — until SHE'S the one afraid of losing YOU.

they are attention *****s who who were playing games with you, why be polite to them, next time you see them dont say anything when you make eye contact and just keep walking, those types of people dont need to be treated with respect and its fine to let them know how lame you think they are

You're right. I thought I was being too harsh/mean towards the OP the first time so I took it down.

My original reply (for those that missed it) was "You're gonna learn the hard way about lawyer chicks."

I honestly don't like lawyer chicks AT ALL. I haven't met one that wasn't an evil AW with an ego to the moon.

But, the other side of the coin is, is there any value in acting pissed off towards people?

Unaffected and content is probably best. Don't let her get close enough to kiss you. Either say nothing and don't notice her or just a neutral "hey" or "hi" and KEEP WALKING.

Exactly. Just be brief and act super busy. When you first spot her, just pull your phone out and use it as a diversion tool. Say a quick "hi" with a nod , look at your phone and be on your merry way. It takes seconds.

If she starts talking let her talk and make the universal "call me" sign with your hand. If she does call, you don't pick up. They don't deserve more than this.

You should've impressed the lawyer chick by telling her you know a powerful supreme court judge (Nismo) and took her back to chambers!

So you got pissed in front of her because she wouldn't let you kiss close? I would've laughed and told her: "Do you treat all your star witnesses like a bag of hot garbage? Then said: Not me. I'd spank your azz if you got out of line."


You've got to keep your cool and not care. Some chicks are legends in their own minds.

Next time when you get to talking or she texts you simply tell either of them when they start going on about their job etc. "Damn sex with you must be non existant or boring as hell." and see what they say. They'll either try to say how they are "really good" or other guys said they were to which I'd say (if they're both laywers): "Ok but neither you nor those dudes were under oath. I don't know but the jury's still out on this one.."

Either you'll get them pissed off or they may just turn around and start talking sexual to prove themselves and then you work it from there.

If they get pissed off or don't reply. Fvck em. IF they do reply pissed off tell them: "Sorry Council but you've lost this case. I'm taking my retaining fee and going home. Good day."

And don't bother with them again.
 

“The 22 Psychological Triggers That Make Women Chase You… Starting Tonight”

Forget the cash, the cars, and the chiseled jawlines. Female desire operates on a completely different frequency. Primal. Subconscious. Triggers that bypass her logic and hit her on a gut level. Most guys are totally blind to them.

I know because I was one of them. The overthinking. The paralysis. The silent drive home kicking yourself for freezing up. Watching average guys walk away with the girl while you stood there stuck in your own head.

Then I decoded the psychology behind what actually makes women tick. 22 hard rules.  Subtle behavioral shifts that rewired my entire reality. The anxiety evaporated. Women started leaning in. Investing. Chasing.

A man with options wouldn't care one way or the other to answer your root question.....

Acting ticked off is pointless and won't help in the slightest and is not a good precedent to establish for yourself....

Just treat her like a distant aquaintance and be courteous when you see her but short and if she pins you down on it just be upfront and tell her no offense but you have enough friends in your life and you only have time for interested women.

noted i'll do this, but the issue i have is at the local coffee places where i chill out chances are they'll come by some point over eater and cos i'll be sitting it'll be hard to avoid some sort of confrontation.. should i just pretend to be busy on my laptop and not look up? and if they say hey act polite but busy.. somewhat rude.

this being indifferent thing is hard to fake.
 

"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"

You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.

Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.

Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.

Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.

I'm sure we are all over-thinking this.

Don't be an angry, hurt guy. But don't be their best friend either.

Just be cool, but busy. Polite, but not going out of your way to chat.

It's just avoiding two extremes:

1. Super happy needy puppy dog orbiter.

2. Sad/angry butthurt rejected guy.

Pretend she's a coworker you don't like. You're polite to them, but more business-like with conversation kept to a minimum.

That's probably the best way I can explain it.

They even fit your description when they're in school and not even lawyers yet.

Pure selfish AW, prima donnas, you name it.

Stay away.

what if she's walking past with either a)a guy or b)a hot female friend(s)?

if she initiates contact when she's with a guy, i'd just keep walking by cos i'd assume she's tryna make the guy jealous (i've had this happen to me twice before in the past)

should you just keep walking? or if i come into a coffee place and she's there with her female friends and gets up to greet me as i walk in?
 

"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.
