"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.

il post a series of things a man might say or do to a girl to tease her in the relationship...

you guys tell me if its a good thing or bad, and maybe give an explanation


1. if she cant go out because she has work say..." well i guess ill just have to go call up my other girlfriend..."

2.saying this " well actually i have two phones...one for you, and one for the other girl so you guys cant read eachother texts"

3.i quickly asked another girl infront of my gf, why should couldnt make it to the movies...we hooked up weeks before i started dating my gf...


i dont try to make her jealous or anything, im jus teasing her.

is it ok to do this kind of stuff???

keep posting questions and answers if you can!
 

"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.

that is definitely not c&f and it reeks of insecurity. You tell her that she'll know you have no other options and it will only make you seem needy. This is basically a threat to the girl trying to scare her into following your commands by telling her you have other options (girls see right through this). Just reply with short responses "some other time perhaps, latez" and try again and follow the 2 STRIKES RULE
2.saying this " well actually i have two phones...one for you, and one for the other girl so you guys cant read eachother texts"
again read #1 this is a weak attempt at c&f.
3.i quickly asked another girl infront of my gf, why should couldnt make it to the movies...we hooked up weeks before i started dating my gf...
unlike your other bad attempts and saying to her you have other options, a dj shows he has other options. Talking and even light flirting with other girls while she is there is a real way of showing that you are ready to kick your girl to the bucket if she doesn't walk the line, rather than telling her "im gonna go call my other gf,bye" which is just weak sauce that girls can spot right away.

it totally depends on context. I say stuff like the first two a lot in a teasing/roleplaying kinda way. I'm just having fun and the girl knows I'm not serious. fun is always good

if you come across serious when you say it though, you might end up looking like a tryhard (she doesn't believe you) or an ******* (she believes you)

as for the third one, I don't understand what you're trying to do

and f283000 your rule has nothing to do with this. he wanted to understand the subcommunication beneath those lines, not get referred to some lame ass rule for needy guys who stalk women

All of those are good and bad...It just depends on the tone of voice you use when saying it

well whenever i say those kinds of things on the phone or inperson she always says "the sad thing is, i can actually see you doing something like" IE. having two phones and whatever...

i just do it in a playful way...and it sounds alot better when its actually happening, its hard to explain on a forum
 

"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.

I understand what you mean. But, some girls will take it seriously and be insecure about it which, wouldn't be good. Cause I've have teased/joked about that around some of my ex's. Some thought it was funny and others took it personal. It depends on the girl and how they react to it.

The only way to figure out whether its good or bad. Is by testing it yourself.

BRUTAL TO THE EXTREME. Translation: I consider you a prostitute and just want to pop my cherry. If you are not available, I find someone who is.

Dude, these statements will make any girl feel worthless and you'll be home alone Saturday night playing 5 on 1. What girl would feel special when she thinks she is the 2nd girl on your list? Would you feel special if a girl said that to you? You would go home and cry.

3.i quickly asked another girl infront of my gf, why should couldnt make it to the movies...we hooked up weeks before i started dating my gf...

I don't understand the above statement.

Maybe your girl eats it up but she won't for long. You have to make girls feel IMPORTANT AND SPECIAL, then you will see some results.

it's only bad if you're dead serious when you say it. but if she wants you bad enough, she'll ignore it

and if you're just having fun, joking when you say it, it's usually fine. I do this ALL THE TIME, FOR FUN, and the girl laughs and plays along, she doesn't cry about it

you're getting a cold response because maybe you got a little bit of a player rep or your girl is a little insecure. or maybe you guys got some semblence of a trust issue there. regardless as long as you address the issue when you communicate with her, it's not gonna make or break anything. don't overanalyze this sht
 

"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"

Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."

You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.

She's been waiting forty minutes.

Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.
