I finally go to a club near my college and the girl's are seriously dancing with their friends. They're going to keep doing that until some brad pitt look a like approaches them. The only guys dancing with girls were the guys with gfs.
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.
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.
Possibly the best advice I've seen on this forum. Most guys don't see it from that perspective because they can't put themselves in the woman's shoes. They lack empathy.YAboi said:Imagine u were a girl for a second. You are physically attractive, you know u are, people tell you that u are and to top this off you have a naturally low sex drive. If u were in that position you wouldnt really go out to ''have sex'' everytime because you know you can get it anytime u want and you are seeking a deeper connection with a person before getting down to it.
Girls are more social than guys and everything they do is usually motivated by how they are seen by others.
They usually go to clubs to have a good time with their friends and mingle and socialize and if you can operate on a social level while keeping your sexuality and masculinity , you will be fine. If you could get sex anytime you wanted , it would be cheapened to you and you would want something challenging and engaging/exciting. Thats the way it works. You need to be socially aware and attuned.
I still don't understand why men go to bars and clubs to get laid. I see so many men try this "night time game", the "PUA Game" in bars and clubs and I'd say only a small minority of men are actually successful. I just go to clubs to socialise, get my groove on the dancefloor and usually I am off my face, not really attractive to women, but I don't care, music sounds so much better when you're off your head.evansblue said:Possibly the best advice I've seen on this forum.

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.
