"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.

If you're playing ganji games with a HB and she asks you 'why you haven't been returning her calls' and 'are you angry with me?'

what should your responses be apart from 'sorry.. i've been busy.'?
 

"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.

i think its a little more complicated than just that.. more to do with the degree of ignoring her and when to come out of hibernation so to speak and the way to act if you get a lot of the 'why aren't you returning my calls?'

i'd like to know what happens if you play these games but her interest level in someone else exceeds her interest in you.. i mean if she meets someone else doesn't it make the whole ignoring thing pointless unless she gets obsessed with just you and you only and cant think of anyone else..

Not quite. Gangi Games = Ignore the girl, hoping that she'll come back. In the process, you develope one-itis for girl you're not dating. It's mainly for guys who are too obsessed with a girl to NEXT her.
 

"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.

at what point do you respond to her?

because if you are unlikely to bump into her at any point she might think something happened to you rather than you're ignoring her.. is it wise to make an appearance during this time where she realises you are ok and not dead and is actually ignoring her?

i dont plan to go back to where i usually see her anymore so any ignoring of her texts/calls may be misinterpreted as something happened to me..

if she sends you a 'are you still alive? / are you ignoring me?' message.. should you respond with 'sorry i been busy.. i'll call you tomorrow.' (but you don't call)?

Here's where Ganji Games go wrong...

The experienced (and natural) Don Juan will NEXT a woman when he is no longer interested in her, or she flakes on him. He will reflect on the good times he had with the woman, but realize that she is no longer worth his time and move on. The woman will dwell on his ability to just forget about her. She doesn't want to be just forgotten! She is more important than nothing! She will eventually begin to take an refound interest in the Don Juan solely because he is truly disinterested in her. When she re-appears, he has the option of dating/fvcking her again if he so desires.

The AFC using Ganji Games: He has dated a woman and she has flaked out on him. He quits calling her, but is expecting her to return because he's ignoring her. He will close off his other options and focus all his energy and emotion on this woman (yes, consciously ignoring a woman requires energy and emotion). He effectively wastes his time with the hope that this woman is coming back. If the woman doesn't come back, he is left confused and frustrated. He then posts on sosuave asking how long it takes for Ganji Games to work.

LOL, that's about it Desinova.

Girlz are natural DJs. They know what you're up to with the pretending to ignore her stuff. Most will just wait it out and direct their attention to other guys.

You truely have to not care. Having other girls chase you in front of her is the deal-breaker. She'll start pursuing you too!

Even if you're chatting up another girl, make it look like the girl is chatting you up when she is around.

How do you not truely not care? Spin plates, get busy with your passions, and just hammer some chic in a bad way once and awhile.

Most of the time, we get in abundence that which we are already getting more than our share of.

On that level, it's really about exposure. The more people you know and are out and about, the more interactions take place.

You're being way too hard on Ganji, Desdinova. You won't necessarily develop oneitis. You explained yourself the way a ganji game should properly be enacted:

The experienced (and natural) Don Juan will NEXT a woman when he is no longer interested in her, or she flakes on him. He will reflect on the good times he had with the woman, but realize that she is no longer worth his time and move on. The woman will dwell on his ability to just forget about her. She doesn't want to be just forgotten!...When she re-appears, he has the option of dating/fvcking her again if he so desires.
If you truly NEXT someone, you don't give them a second chance. Even if they come back, they're out of the picture. Moreover, if you next someone, you don't make a concerted attempt to ignore them because you don't care how they feel about you. You don't want them to miss you.

Ganji games should be approached with a mindset similar to nexting (a moderate degree of indifference toward success/failure). As long as you continue to spin plates and get on with your life, you shouldn't develop oneitis for the ganji girl. And then once her IL is back up (assuming you were successful), then you sweep in all at once and capitalize on her high IL.

If you next a girl, you shouldn't get back with her ever.

All this being said, I haven't had much success with ganji games myself. Imo, if a girl is flaky enough to warrant a ganji game, you're probably best off just nexting her and finding someone better.
