"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.

Have you ever noticed that sometimes it's best to not reply to your girl's texts to see where she will go with the conversation? I shut my phone off for 6 hours and come back to find something like this (a dramatization).

1) 3:50PM I just wanted to talk to you, love, that's all.
2) 4:01PM Is everything ok?
3) 4:02PM I still want to go!
4) 4:45PM I'm sorry if I offended you in any way, I probably shouldn't have said that. I just want for us to be together, love.
5) 9:45PM I watched that movie you recommended and you were right, I loved it!

Notice how she reveals her thought pattern simply by virtue of the fact I didn't reply? If you reply minute by minute, you never know where she would have gone with it.

It takes time to get her to care enough to multi-text, but when she does, let her.
 

"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.

Leaving space is one of the most important texting tips I got.
Don't ever show her more affection than she shows to you -- that's the second one.

That also applies in person as well.

Some additional texting suggestions:

Not concrete, but some other general guidelines are to never write messages longer than her last one and for every 2 messages she sends send 1 back. Never send two in a row no matter how much time in between.
 

"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.

I always do it, not intentionally though, i just don't have enough time to reply.

I've noticed that all chicks would complain about the fact that i don't reply quick enough but it makes the texting much better because she knows she needs to put more effort to me to answer back.

It would be like:
- Today i've to bla bla bla (tells me about stuff i don't really care about)
- Hey whats up? (30 min hours later)
- I'm horney ( one hour later)

Yeah I've done that. I won't shut my phone off, but I'll come up with some excuse for not replying in case she asks. I'll tell her I went out with a friend, or I was really tired, etc. It gets their imagination and mind focused on YOU, and that's exactly where you want to be with a woman.

The general flow of texts... women are strange like that... show or tell you some random thing, no response.. text something that requires a response... no response.... text something sexual.... possible response

"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"

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.

Mirror her interest:

She takes two hours to respond......you take at least two hours to respond.

She replies with a short answer.....give her a short answer.

Don't mirror her smilies though, for the love of God....

Innuendos and make assumptions about her instead of always agreeing and trying to build comfort...

They need tension. Anticipation is deliciously good.

Easier solution: don't text at all.

The only texts I send are addresses or replies to logistical information.

Break her of that texting habit. This wall of words may sound cute, but it's annoying as hell in an LTR.

Train these women immediately. They can talk to their orbiters. The only talking we're doing is in person where the magic happens. Talking on the phone doesn't help you bang her, so why are you doing it?

I feel as if this is a lot more effective with a girl that you're exclusive with. A random girl that you meet may not be as responsive. Especially if she isn't showing off the bat high interest.

Exclusivity is irrelevant. It all depends on her interest level. Occasionally, you meet a chick who would suck you dry on the first or second date. On the other hand, many saps in LTR are just placeholders while she waits for the real man to come around. Space works an any woman that has enough interest for you to have a shot.
 

"I'm Not Looking for Anything Serious Right Now"

When a woman says it, guys hear a confession. A heads-up. A scheduling conflict.

Here's the translation: I don't feel anything. Right now. With you.

Watch what happens when a man triggers actual attraction. The busy career, the recent breakup, the "not in a place to date" — all of it evaporates instantly. The same woman who was guarding her freedom is suddenly free every night.

The "22 Rules" explain why. When the right switches flip, her timeline rearranges itself around you.
