How many of you actually play out and practice a lot?
"Why Women Dump the Guys Who Try the Hardest"
You paid for dinner. You drove. You said "whatever you want is fine" every single time. All the effort, no expectations.
And she left anyway — probably for a guy who makes her pick up the pizza.
Painful. Also predictable. Her mind quietly concludes that anything requiring zero effort from her is worth exactly zero. You became a free sample, and free samples get taken for granted.
The 22 Rules flip the dynamic. Small shifts that get her investing effort, money, and time in you — until SHE'S the one afraid of losing YOU.

"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 play the guitar for like one hour a day... I love playing Coldplay songs, and now, I know all the Coldplay songs' guitar solos. They're not so hard, though, but as I love Coldplay's music, i like playing their songs. The solos in Shiver, Moses, Talk and Got Put A Smile Upon Your Face are maybe the hardest ones to play, but I play them all, without any problems.
I also know a couple of Guns'n Roses solos, like the solos in Estranged and of course Sweet Child Of Mine. And there's a lot of Queen songs in which there are cool solos to play. The solo in Let Me Live (from the Made In Heaven album) for example, is a really nice one to play.
Master freestyle's and you're in.
I write a lot of my own music, and i've come across a lot of really basic chord progressions (C Am F G for example) that are really easy to just throw words into. I'll start off with some little intro i've written then go into simple stuff like that but sing about the girl who's right in front of me...it takes some wit and quick thinking, but if you can recall some facts about her and throw them in the song, even if it's a little off, just make it rhyme and she'll love it.
I'd say at least original tunes is the best....everyone plays other people's music and at least around here, everyone knows the crappy songs that everyone always plays....so the only way to get anywhere is to be original.

I'm just picking up guitar, a couple of my friends can totally rock out and inspired me to finnally pick it up. I can play a lot of Nirvana stuff and am trying to learn a few kick ass solos. Learn guitar because you want to, else finding the motivation is going to be hard.
Edit: I can play the theme to Super Mario, while its not quite sexy it is pretty cool.
"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.

Exactly. There have been way too many suggestions that have been metal and hard rock songs, and while girls will definitely see you as talented if you play those songs for them, they won't adore you like they will if you play a softer, more romantic song. Go with acoustic.
Void and Dimebag had the best suggestions so far.
Here's the best IMO (a few have already been mentioned):
Wonderwall- Oasis
Taylor- Jack Johnson
Bubbletoes- Jack Johnson (pretty much any Jack is good)
Wonderful Tonight- Eric Clapton
Blackbird- The Beatles
Wish You Were Here- Pink Floyd
pretty much any John Mayer
and the best one: Crash- Dave Matthews Band. Girls will melt when they here you play that song, and it's not that difficult.

I play an Agile AL-2800 Les Paul through a Peavey XXX head and cab or a Roland Cube.
The bands you mention use humbucker pickups, they do make humbuckers that fit into a single coil slot though, not sure the exact make but Seymour Duncan makes them.
"She Laughed All Night. Then She Ghosted You. Here's Why."
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.
