"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.

Okay, so after last night's rampage I decided that I'll use the opener I thought of as a routine more often.

"Hey guys, can I have a moment, I need a female opinion on something.." (never wait for approval/validation, this is not a question, you just say it to catch their attention and to make sure they're listening)

"I gave a girl my number, but I kind of regret it. What should I do when she calls?"


If they want to help you and show you what girl has your number, tell them that it was in another bar, earlier that day/evening (unless you really gave your number to someone and want to get it back, like me last night).


Girls get into this, man, because girls often are in the situation where they'll just give a guy their number (or a fake one) just to **** him off.

Chick crack.
 

"You Can't Argue a Woman Into Liking You"

You made your case like a lawyer. Stable job. Good guy. Ready for something real. All true. All irrelevant.

She weighed your points, nodded along, felt nothing — then fell hard for some tattooed bartender with a motorcycle and a gambling problem.

Logic is where attraction goes to die. The "22 Rules" work a level deeper, on the subconscious switches that decide within minutes whether you register as a MAN or as part of the furniture.

Stop presenting evidence. Start flipping switches.

I'm confused.
First, how would they be able to SHOW you the girl who you gave your number to?

Second, how do you get it back? Aren't numbers usually stored in cel phones? Meaning they could delete it, but wouldn't that be weird if you were thinking of approaching a girl and asking her to delete your number.

Anyways, it doesn't sound like a bad way to get a conversation started

I'll test it as well and report back later tonight.

Next time though field test material BEFORE writing it as a tip!

I used it twice the night I came up with it.

At this moment it was true though, I had actually given a girl my number and I did not want her to have it. So in one of the cases the girl grabbed my hand and she wanted me to show the girl, then we walked over to her and the HB grabbed my number from the girl, lol.


But to answer Jukeboxhero.. The above is not relevant for the routine itself. The routine itself is simply:

"blabla female opinion"

"I gave my phone number to a girl, earlier this day/evening/night, but after talking to her for some more I realized I had made a mistake. What do I do when she calls?"

There is a possibility that a girl will want to help you get your number back / deleted from the other girl's phone. If this is the case, then tell her that it was in another bar and just ask her again "so what do I do when the girl calls me, do I just ignore it, or do I answer and tell her what??"

I usually don't prepare a whole list of routines. I just open and then try to flow. Right now my sticking point's to approach and open anyway, not to hold really long sets.

So I haven't thought of good follow-up routines.
 

"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.

It's hard to come up with follow-up routines because every situation and girl is different. I, personally, am not a fan of 'routines.' I like to go with the flow. The opener I've used lately has been, "How are you(y'all) doing tonight?" If you ask this, lean in, and listen, she/they will begin to talk. The reason you need to listen to them is to catch opportunities to further the conversation with something that she says that may be of interest to you. I have attempted closing with this, but I have been rejected each time. Each time they said they had a bf, which may or may not be the truth, but it's not surprising to me in my town.
