its now 7:08pm. What should I do should I call her and tell her she better sharpin up if she wants to be with me. Or just ignore it.
You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.
For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.
Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.
The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.
Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.
She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.
Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.
So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.
The words come later. The impression comes first.
Hmmm. I see your point but she did instant message me today around 12pm saying "Good Afternoon!" Im thinking she's just too scared to call me up.If she were interested, she would call. No, she wasn't attacked by a pack of wolves, and yes, your phone is still working no need to call Sprint. Just get busy my man. [/B]
Cool Ill go with this route sounds pretty good.Originally posted by shark
forget it, when she does call or when you see her..act bigger and better. don't give her the time of day for that first interaction..then wait a few days to either have her contact you or u can contact her again and kinda start overr. you'll be fine
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.
Either that or you are too scared to go out and have some fun yourself because you may miss her call. She's only several hours late...Originally posted by Emperiorjack

or she may have had you as a back up plan in case her initial plans didn't work out. Harsh yes, but true in most cases.Originally posted by Emperiorjack

I did/do this all the time, i usually schedule 2 dates, one that I know will go through and one that i really wanted to go on.Originally posted by Bradshaw

Lesson: always have a back up plan.
She calls you when her car breaks down. When she needs help moving. When some guy she's actually dating treats her badly.
You're the listener. The reliable one. The guy who would treat her so much better, if she'd just open her eyes.
She won't. You trained her to see you as the low-effort option — the friend who requires zero risk and zero investment. Every favor dug the hole deeper.
The "22 Rules" break the pattern. You'll stop auditioning for a role she already cast and become the man she chases instead. It starts with Rule 1.

No, if she was that specific, something must have come up. Don't get worried about it, but assume the best, make sure that you have something important to do adn then either catch up with her later or move on to the next chick.Originally posted by Plain & Simple
forget it kid, she played you.
Dont call her neither if u gonna do that, wait a week or so, and dont mention nothing to her , just try to set a date up if she refuses, automaticly 100% forget her
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.
