"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.

"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.

"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.

Cuz if your talking 1st date you full of ****.
You dont pay on the 1st date, well you could buy her some candy or a drink or something, you dont give gifts on the first date thats chumpy.
You do these things on the 1st date then you st yourself up to be walked all over.
Why do you put cologne behind your ears and wtf s the chap sitck all about.
Also you aint gunna get laid on the first date. unless you get her drunk.
apart from that
good post.
Whats wrong with paying on the first date? Do you really not want to pay for it? Or is it beacuse someone on this site told you that? I always pay for my first dates, and it shows class. BUT i dont always pay for the dates after that, once youve gone out with the girl once, u dont always have to be the one to pay. Usually, the girl offers to pay on the first date, and i say somethng like "nah i got it, how about you pay for our next date" this makes things even, she dosent feel bad for me paying, and it gets me another date
.Cologne behind the ears? Why? If youve ever been to the movies with a girl, you should know that they like to rest their head on your shoulders. Would you like her to smell your dirty ears?! Cologne there can only help..not hurt...
Suppose you were out with a girl, and you were having a good time. The night was coming to an end, and you wanted to kiss her to seal the night. As you go in for the kiss, you see her dry, chappy lips. Would you kiss her? would you want to hang around her?! it shows bad hygene and ish.. NOW, im not saying that you have dry lips, but some people here do, so thats why i said it
Why cant you get laid on the first date? Read some speed seduction post's and learn, it can be done, and ive done it. I know many girls who get laid on the first date, and sometimes i only go out for girls lookin for some ass'
pz!

"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.

Hmmm try it again, or ask Matrix to add what you want.

"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.
paying for dinner? are you trying to buy her affection? are you trying to bribe her with dinner first, so that she'll go out with you and you can secretly convince her into liking you? buying her flowers? wtf.
for the first get together, i usually invite them along with me to go to the mall, and tell them i need to buy my sister's birthday gift, or whatever. during the date i'm sure to bust on her constantly, i'm C/F, i misinterpret things that she says and just have FUN. i lead the way and take control on the date. if we're in a store together, i usually walk away from her for awhile to another part of the store, and let her find me (shows that you're not clingy or desperate to be around her). of course, one aspect which i'm sure to do while being C/F is to be a gentlemen, like by opening doors. another good thing to do when walking along the sidewalk with her, the male is suposed to walk on the outside of the sidewalk (closest to the road). this was a gentlemanly thing to do in the olden days. it was incase a car drove out onto the sidewalk and you'd get by it, instead of her. or even if there was a puddle and a car drove by, you'd get wet and not her. you can even explain that concept to her. she'll be impressed.
i prefer not to pay for dates. i like to tease them while setting up for the date. i usually tease for them to pay and say things like, "i'm really looking forward to that movie you've promised me. when are you going to pick me up?" and ask them, "how else do you plan to maintain the lifestyle that i've been accustomed to?", ect.
either way, there are still tons of other things to do with a girl, besides wasting money on her with the first date. read deangelo's book or listen to the series. i can't elaborate deeply into this, as i'm still learning myself.
This has been said numorous times, but i'll humor you:
Do whatever works for you, if you can get away with not paying, all the better. But there are no laws set in stone, so do whatever you want to do.
That book's (DYD) alright, he gives you a VERY sugar coated kind of point of views, and thats expected because it helps sales, and he did help me. I was subscribed to his tips for quite a while, but i just outgrew the need to hear the things over and over.
Sure you can do dates like windowshopping, parks, etc that don't cost anything. Dip wasn't promoting dinner and a movie, all he was saying is that you could do it.
You'll realize the more painful truths of being a don juan in time than what he portrays in those books.
And on a final note:
Welcome to the boards, hope you learn something
also, i know how u feel about paying for her, it really depends on how ur relationship is with her. if u just met her and ur taking her to a park, she should deff. pay for her own ticket...if ur going out to dinner with her, it looks cheap/shady attempting to sort out how much her meal was, then asking her for the money..
and about the flowers, ive never done that! but i know that some of you like to...so i just wanted to let you all know not to bring roses
That date didn't go too well either afterwards. I apparantly had busy hands, so I responded saying "I'm a busy guy.
"Anyway she was an attention *****.
