Any of you guys every have a terrific interaction with a girl, thinking the entire time that you made a great impression on her, only to call/text her a few days later and be ignored?
You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.
Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.
She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.
Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.
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.
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.
Sometimes they just want the self validation, that they *could* have someone if they wanted to.MisterD said:This happened to me a few weeks ago. WTF?
I text her 3 days later, thinking this was so in the bag, it wasn't funny. No response. Text her four days after that, no response.
That was it. Never heard from her ever again
Yep, only to have her suddenly contact me out of the blue weeks or even months later and be all "what's up?" like we're friends or something.jglide123 said:Any of you guys every have a terrific interaction with a girl, thinking the entire time that you made a great impression on her, only to call/text her a few days later and be ignored?
Yeah this has happened to me as well.MisterD said:This happened to me a few weeks ago. WTF?
SHE approaches ME. Opens ME up. Giggled at everything I said, even when it wasn't funny. Before she leaves she says "You can have my number if you want. I normally don't do this but...you're...I don't know...different".
Asked me to have lunch with her as soon as I took her number down. I told her I already had plans. Asked what my interests are, I told her photography, she said oh wow me too! Maybe you can come with me to buy a new camera!
Before I can even answer she says--oh I'm so sorry! am I coming on too strong? do you have a girlfriend? I laughed and said no it's cool.
Said our goodbyes. I text her my number when I get home, she's excited. I text her 3 days later, thinking this was so in the bag, it wasn't funny. No response. Text her four days after that, no response.
That was it. Never heard from her ever again and I'm not planning on trying to contact her again.
Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.
You've been "getting ready" for two years.
She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.
Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.
I did play it pretty cool, but that was mostly a result of her dominating the convo. She would ask me questions and before I could give an answer she would answer the question herself. So for the most part I was just nodding my head and laughing. I really didn't try to game her in any way or do anything clever, she did everything. The approach, lead the conversation, number closed me. I said maybe 15-20 words in the twenty minutes we spoke. She came up with 2 or 3 date ideas during the convo. One was lunch immediately after giving me her number, the camera thing, and one other one I believe. She said several times how different I am, and then the topic of astrology came up and I mentioned I'm a scorpio and she was saying how her sign is a perfect match for scorpios or whatever. I mean it was blatantly obvious.Trump said:Yeah this has happened to me as well.
It's an ego validation thing and you were used as bait. You bought what she was selling very fast, so now she can go tell her boyfriend she's still got it and is desirable so he better get act together and pay attention to her.
Think when they come on so strong you have to play it cool, as in anything in life. Never get too high or too low. Also ask her to call you to set something up when they are that excited. They have to backup what they are saying or else it's complete bs.

All women have boyfriends.
All women have options.
All women cheat.
All women don't give a f**k about a man's feelings.
A woman can have a man at any time. Never believe a woman who says she can't get a man.
Women aren't scared of rejection, unless it's from a handsome rich guy, it hurts.
This happened to me too BTW. Part of why I nearly hate women in Atlanta, why I'll never get married, and why I don't believe in love. :cuss:
Without getting excessively technical, this is called outcome dependence. You got a number, it didn't work out, and now you're fixated on it. Move on, there are other girls. You can call or text her again. Nonetheless, move on and meet new people.jglide123 said:Any of you guys every have a terrific interaction with a girl, thinking the entire time that you made a great impression on her, only to call/text her a few days later and be ignored?
Most guys accidentally kill attraction before they even speak. They assume they need a bigger bank account, a better physique, or smoother lines. They miss the point.
Female desire operates on a specific set of psychological triggers. Break them, and you're invisible. Follow them, and you become magnetic.
I learned this the hard way. Years of freezing up. Getting friend-zoned. Watching other guys walk away with the girl I wanted. Then I discovered a set of 22 simple rules that rewired my entire approach.
Yeah, it's crazy what some of the guys are posting. Giving a number is not like giving a blood oath. You don't own her after she gives you a number!bigneil said:Guys ultimately want to think that if they got a number, she should reply to his text, go on a date, fall in love, and be a faithful wife forever.
Anything less than that and it's because women are corrupted, and he'll post at the point of failure. But if that policy were in effect, your woman would have got married 100 chumps ago.
95% of the time we are dumped it's because we weren't good enough to keep their attraction. The only fault I place then is women who underestimate our ability to improve and have a zero-tolerance policy on disagreements.
That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?
She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."
She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.
I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.
Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.
