Master Don Juan
What do you mean by that? How have I been staying in my comfort zone?
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.
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.
So, did she "grab your pump" after all?Maxtro said:I'll briefly invite her inside to grab my pump and I'll offer her some water.
ohhhh, I see what you did there? lmaoHuffman said:So, did she "grab your pump" after all?![]()
Now, what did you learn from this experience? If you did learn anything, you're bound to be getting/making the same mistake.Maxtro said:LOL, no. I didn't even realize I said it like that
This girl is history and I'll probably never see or talk to her again unless I run into her on campus.
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 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.
Predictably enough, she has you jumping through her hoops. She picks, you get to do the cooking or go to a sexless lunch where she'll pay for her stuff (translation: "I don't want to owe you anything or make you think I am interested, so I'll pay for my stuff". She says "jump!", you say, "How high"? At this point she knows you are salivating worse than Pavlov's dogs! Behaving like a predictable good doggy! :kick:Maxtro said:And out of nowhere I get a random text
Her: You want to get lunch Monday?
WTF? I had already deleted her number but I recognized her area code.
Then it went like this.
Me: U buying?
Her: No, u cookin?
Her: Ill pay for My stuff. Lol
Me: Cookings an interesting idea, u like buffalo wings?
She hasn't replied yet.
Frankly I'm amazed that she contacted me.
Edit: Still going on. Seems like she wants Vietnamese food.
Why do you refuse to hear what you need to hear and resort to hearing only what you want to hear?Maxtro said:I don't care about the attention and I rather not have drama here.
You know better, and she is spelling it out, making it LOUD AND CLEAR that she has no interest.Maxtro said:First off, I wouldn't pay for her stuff period. I know better than to think that paying for girls shit entitles you to pussy.
Really, like what? Reaching across the table at the restaurant, and gropping her and get freaky?Maxtro said:An asexual lunch? So be it. That doesn't mean that I'm not going to try anything.
Because she knows you're interested. Duh. I don't know, I heard that women love to get attention. Not sure if that's true, but that might be a reason.Maxtro said:What I can't figure out is why she is inviting a guy whom she knows is interested in her to lunch with her.
Yes, but not by listening to her and going along with everything she suggests. You first need to stop doing everything that is NOT working, everything that is getting in the way, before you can begin doing stuff that might actually swing things in your favor.Maxtro said:Is there anything I can do to turn this in my favor?
Compare this to this...Maxtro said:And out of nowhere I get a random text

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.
Rule #1: Anytime anybody begins a statement with "Honestly", you can automatically disregard what they say after as being anything but honest.Maxtro said:Honestly this whole interaction with her is now more like a science project. My interest for her has dramatically lowered. Now I'm just trying to figure out what the hell she's thinking. I'm also going to be testing the boundaries till she tells me no. Then I walk away.
The old carrot and stick trick.Maxtro said:If she wants a friend who's going to keep trying to hook up with her then that's on her. I have nothing to lose.
Yes you do, you have your time when you should be doing other things - be it working on yourself, or out with other friends/girls. What's the point in spending time with this girl if nothing is ever going to happen? which is what YOU want.Maxtro said:If she wants a friend who's going to keep trying to hook up with her then that's on her. I have nothing to lose.

Forget the cash, the cars, and the chiseled jawlines. Female desire operates on a completely different frequency. Primal. Subconscious. Triggers that bypass her logic and hit her on a gut level. Most guys are totally blind to them.
I know because I was one of them. The overthinking. The paralysis. The silent drive home kicking yourself for freezing up. Watching average guys walk away with the girl while you stood there stuck in your own head.
Then I decoded the psychology behind what actually makes women tick. 22 hard rules. Subtle behavioral shifts that rewired my entire reality. The anxiety evaporated. Women started leaning in. Investing. Chasing.
