You replay the conversation at 2 a.m. She texted back fast yesterday. Today, nothing. Was that smile friendly or flirty? What did the shoulder touch mean?
Every hour you spend decoding her signals drains your confidence and hands her the controls. Women can sense that insecurity from across the room — and it repels them.
One of the "22 Rules" kills the obsession on the spot: assume she likes you, and act accordingly. Sounds too simple. Works anyway.
Her interest tends to rise to meet your expectations. Psychologists call it a self-fulfilling prophecy.
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.
"Sure thing sweetheart! You go have fun, okay?"pyros said:What would you do if your gf said to you: 'listen, this guy friend of mine (a guy whom she met three years ago during a summer trip, who lives in a different city, whom I havent met) is coming tomorrow here for two days because of a business trip, so we agreeded to have lunch, ok?'
QFTWho Dares Win said:From my experience I can say two things:
1)the guy going to lunch with a girls definitely wants to fvck her, no guy meet a girl for lunch between tiring business activities if he doesnt have any attraction toward her.
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.
Mistic said:Tell her, "This is weird. A girl I used to date is coming into town. I broke up with her a few months before we met. She contacted me on FB a couple times but I ignored her. She really wants to meet for DINNER while she is in town. I feel I owe her that, so i'm gonna go meet her, OK. You dont have to wait up cuz i'll probably be home a little late."
I don't let this 5hit bother me. Why? Because 97% of the population are AFCs. I'm more interesting, fun and confident than them. The woman also knows that I will ditch her a55 if she misbehaves.Anyway, what would you do if your gf said that she's gonna have lunch with a guy friend.
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.

This ^SgtSplacker said:I always make sure to get the "what you can do I can do" point across to any woman i'm dating shiny polished crystal clear. She tells me this and i'd just reply "I didn't know I could have lunch with girls, you should have told me earlier." And totally start my mid day game strong. Remember, although girls can get laid whenever they want, they generally don't pursue lunches for a quick bang like a guy would, provided she is a decent girl in the first place. She's just provided you with a reason and method to replace her a$$ and all while you are still banging her. Win, Win... next that HO.
Also when she sees you're capitalizing on this she may start to consider you differently so it might make things better between you. Personally just seeing that she is interested in this kind of thing is a permanent turn off for me, her fate would be sealed in my camp. She just downgraded herself to a bed buddy that thinks she's my GF. In Miami, strip clubs feed you free lunch, steak and burgers and stuff.
She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.
Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.
The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.
Technically speaking, all guys probably want to fvck her. If she is a 7 or above, she is probably turning people away at work, while she is shopping, or any other various activity in public.Danger said:People keep referencing jealousy.
For the umpteempth time, it is not about jealousy.
It is about your girl spending time with a man she has either fvked, or who wants to fvk her.
Do you want your woman hanging around men that want to fvk her? Are you really cool with that?
And if so, what are you going to tell her when she wants to hang out with a guy who is capable of knocking her panties off? Suddenly she can't do it?
Set the rules in the beginning, it's far better than having to change your strategy mid-relationship.
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.
