Just send her a text.
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.
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.

You're trolling. Unless you want to give advice on the topic at hand then please leave. KTHXBYE
Jab or not, that was funny.:crackup:ketostix said:I honestly don't have enough info.
Interceptor said:TM, from your account, if I were in your shoes, I would not call her.
if there was a deep Love between you , she would have never been indecisive about some other guy.
She would want to keep the relationship safe, and do what she could do keep things good betwen you.
I think you're just missing some emotional intimacy here.
And your mind keeps bringing up the past in order to soothe you.
So you are beginning to make justifications and rationalizations to help you reconnect and get some emotional intimacy needs filled.
But according to your account, it doesnt look like it was something that strong and mature.
She mayhave changed, she may be remorseful.
She may want another chance.
Who knows?
But you did sound like you were getting Ego gratification from her.
And I think thats a big factor here too.
Youre feeling a little down and would like to feel good again, but you may be wanting ego gratification, which is ultimately destructive and unhealthy.
I dont think this is a good idea.
Im not saying do not contact her ever again.
But just wanting to 'chat' may not be the real reason here. Or a good enough one for her too.
(She may be wondering why you called.
and she WILL ask you eventually, "why are you calling me?")
If you did, then do so, but be prepared for any emotional aftershock.
Do it from strength, not weakness.
it IS possible to be amicable with exes.
It is entirely possible to rekindle romance.
But either way, dont do it for the wrong reasons.
good luck with this
I hope it works out
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.
YAY.ThunderMaverick said:GAWD, Friv! It's not about other women. I'm getting laid on a regular basis. I don't NEED other women to cure this problem I have. Other women isn't the issue. It's ME. I'm the problem. I gotta figure myself out on this one.
Really? Not for the guy who has weak game(not referring to you Thunder). Plus, like I always say, "gaming" them isn't that easy, EVEN when you're good at it, and on top of it, EVEN when you're above average looking.frivolousz21 said:...you can easily game 3-4 women a week.

Yeah yeah. I think I was saying that even before. Stop patting my head like a puppy! loliqqi said:YAY.
The wittle baby is all growed up.![]()
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.
Well, if you think you don't deserve them.ThunderMaverick said:I got a lot of reps from my last thread about rhetorical questions. However, this rep thing might be a joke. I'm second place to Rollo? Did you see the last topic I posted?! As in THIS ONE!? Hahaha!
Wow you're not attacking my points or anything. I thought you were a troll?iqqi said:Look at how you handle criticism in this very thread, and how quick you are to see what is wrong with YOUR actions. You aren't playing the victim role, and that's a big deal. I'd rep you again, if I could. I have to go spread some around first.![]()

Well duh.ThunderMaverick said:Well despite HOW people give me advice, the advice from most people (even you, dear) is sound...
Damn, that's a hot post, brofis.:yes:iqqi said:Well duh.
I just got this rookie some regular roommate booty. See reply #25 on how to get roommate booty courtesy of the iq.![]()
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.
I never learned on a site how to date women. I as well, never found it tough to lets say "spin plates".edger said:Me, from my experience, and Keto has also aknowledged it as well.
I'm saying, it isn't easy when you first get out there and start trying to bag women. There's certain components to picking up that don't come through "common sense" that must be learned through sites like this and such, as well as through trial and error, in order to improve your results with women. So I'm trying to make that point, as well as that even when you have good game and good looks, it's still tough. I say this in a lot of posts(as I'm sure you've seen). I hate to rehash it again for the millionth time and sound like a broken record, lol, but you asked, so I'm responding.
I'm speaking for everybody. I find it extremely hard to believe that from the time you started "going after" women, that you knew all the tricks of the trade; what makes them tick and what doesn't. The only way some of these "tricks" can be learned, is through trial and error, and places like this from guys who have run field tests and who have sufficient experience. Everybody f*cks up in the beginning, everybody. Nobody's a perfect player.guru1000 said:I never learned on a site how to date women. I as well, never found it tough to lets say "spin plates".
Are you speaking for everybody or just the majority?
