"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.

Good comeback to "I miss you"!?

"She's Out of Your League"

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.

erm, maybe it's really unDJish of me, but I usually just tell them I did miss them too (even if I didn't)
 

"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"

She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.

Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.

The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.

That works obsidian...

I hate it when people ask for these generic responses, women are unique one response wont suit all. Some might get offended some might love it. DJ's should take time to get to know the girl they are talking to not spend all their time recalling the canned lines they learned.

Its not unDJish.

(to everyone) Remember, if she says it first, and you simply repeat it back, then you're just saying the natural thing because she said it. One can take the wise cracks and tough-guy jerk thing so far, that it can eventually just become annoying to her and she might eventually not even take you seriously.

To be AFC is to say it first. That's what you don't want to do (IMO). Saying it first is to actually mean it, and expresses inherent neediness.

Well, if you DO miss her back, don't tell her, otherwise the entire facade you've built will crumble.
 

"I just moved here from Florida."

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.

How about "Okay, then let's get together this weekend."?
It's a command not a question. If she balks you say "Guess you don't really miss me then." If she says OK, plan something really cool and fun so she'll remember it.

I would go with the "I miss me too." - depending on how much she can take a joke. If she seems to be the more serious type and you just said something really ****y/funny with her a moment ago, i would go with what Rogue suggested.

Eh, I wouldn't even give her the hint to plan something for the weekend. She's supposed to be a big girl, she should be able to suggest something herself.

If she says she misses you, it doesn't really matter what you say because she's obviously into you, as long as you don't be a wussbag. You could say

"Prove it" and pull her in for a hug and a kiss.
"I know, I'm so 'missable'".
"I've missed you, too, with every shot so far".
"I've missed you, too. Uh, what's your name again?" They'll laugh at this one, guaranteed!

Totally forgot to add that the girl is my ex and I haven't seen her in 3 years.
Doh! Lock the thread! :kick:
 

"How I Made Sure No Woman Ever Friend-Zoned Me Again"

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.
