"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.

Girl gave a lot of buying signals...now won't answer her phone

Met a girl at the gym and went for coffee a week ago, she gave all the right signals and even suggested I took her out again. I held back and didn't take her offer right there. I could tell she was disappointed by this and that when we said goodbye I just took off and told her, see you at the gym.

Naturally I didn't run into her at the gym (she is not much of a gym goer), but she is not answering her phone or texts (tried contacting her today for the first time after last week's date).

Now I'm confused, I thought she was very interested judging from her buying signals.

She is a nice girl, is there anything to be gained if I insist on contacting her?
 

"Nervous Around Beautiful Women? There's a Rule for 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.

Maybe she was busy
Maybe she met someone she likes better
Maybe her dream boy opened up a slot for her
Meybe she got hit by a bus
Maybe her aunt died.

Just leave it another day or two, so little Info and so many possibilities.

Out of curiosity, how many calls/texts did you throw her way today? Since you said but she is not answering her phone or texts I hope you didnt blow her phone up trying to reach her?

Called once and texted once about 15 minutes later, something like: hey, I didn't see you at the gym during the week. Can this be considered blowing up her phone?
 

"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.

Turns out she did text back around midnight. She said:
"Hi! I went to the gym on Tuesday and Thursday. How are you?. I didn't see my phone until now, it's so late"

I still have not texted back, I'd like to take her out on a date this weekend.

Kinda short notice, dont be surprised if she cant make it. Ideally you'll wanna try to make the plans in the earlier days of the week since by thursday, most people already have plans for the weekend already.

Women and their phones are fvckin almost surgically joined.
Unless she's an older chick who's a nurse or some other profession which requires her to be away from her phone, she would've seen your message and call.
All is not lost but be prepared for flakeage.

Women's buying signals and IOI's are all bullsh*t until we've banged and gone out.

Women know what men see as IOI's and buying signals, so they can choose to display them at will to get attention or something from a man. Hence these types of threads. And I spin more plates in case a woman who gives me buying signals and doesn't answer is an attention wh0re. My verdict.

Case closed.

You gave her clear signs that you were disinterested by not at least acknowledging a second date possibility. Then followed it up with a resounding "see you at the gym". She thinks you didn't like her and this recent call probably makes her think you just want to bone.

Or she could just be 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.
