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.
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.
Tell her to come over and you'll rent a movie.007mja said:this girl i've been talking to and went on 2 dates with was suppose to call me at somepoint today, she calls for the 1st time at 10pm and wants to meet at a local bar, what is a dj to do?
DONT, its that simple.007mja said:this girl i've been talking to and went on 2 dates with was suppose to call me at somepoint today, she calls for the 1st time at 10pm and wants to meet at a local bar, what is a dj to do?
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.

Let me ask you guys a question, at what point do you say YES to going out on a date. Or do you always sit around and make excuses not to for the sake of "looking busy" and "being don juan" and "making her eagerly await the next time she see's you".
Haha, screw that bull****. If you want to go out and have some fun tonight with a beautiful woman... By all means, do it. If you don't want to, don't. It's that simple. Don't make up some phony excuse not to if you really want to just so you can be "Don Juan". You're only playing yourself if you do that.

I could talk to any woman I wasn't attracted to. Charming, funny, relaxed. Then a gorgeous woman looked my way and I'd become a sweating, babbling mess.
The fix took me years to find and ten minutes to learn. Nervousness and excitement are the same physical state — pounding heart, adrenaline, flushed face. Your brain just picks the label. And you can pick a better one.
Rule 16 shows you how. You feel the nerves, relabel them as excitement, and let that energy pour out as enthusiasm. Women notice the guy radiating it. They always do.
