and she declines to do anything?
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.
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.
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.
I agree!King Turi said:Dude, saying "tap that ass" would have been way better given the situation.
Since it seemed kinda awkward, dropping the massage thing would have made you sound like a creep.
Dropping "tap that ass" would have reduced the creepiness, maybe got you some ass, maybe got her laughing, who knows.
But it way less creepy than the line you dropped.
Again, is this the same chick from before? If so, WHY ARE YOU TEXTING? Weren't you adviced to stop texting and make a simple phone call? If that wasn't her, WHY ARE YOU TEXTING? Didn't you learn from your previous "date" flake out?AlmostThere! said:It felt like I screwed up again. I was supposed to go out with this chick tonight, but she stood me up. Then I texted her and said I'm going home.
At this point, she's pretty much at your mercy, and asking you to lead her, yet you can't be assertive, and manage to come across as angry and rattled at the fact that she flaked.AlmostThere! said:She texts back which I don't respond too. She then calls me and said do I want her to come over. I said do whatever you want.
Off course she was resistant. She could tell you were still rattled and was never able to get comfortable. If this is the same chick from a few days ago, then you needed to go back to square one and escalate. You can't expect to just pick it up where you left off.AlmostThere! said:So she comes over, but she was resistant to every move I made. And she never got totally comfortable (her body was pretty tense). This was a WTF moment because she asked "so did i come over here to watch tv?" and I said "no, there's other stuff we can do".
I have to disagree with the fellows who said "Tap that ass" would have been a good response. Not when she sees you are sort of pi$sed off and bothered. There is no way you would have said it in a teasing, funny way. It would have come out more with a smart a$s tone and vibe. Your head wasn't all there yet.AlmostThere! said:Her response was "like what?". I wanted to say "tap that ass", but I said "I can give you a massage since your back hurts but you have to be lying down"...and again, she declines.
She is saying the same thing. She doesn't want to waste her time, TWICE, with guys who don't know what the score is, and don't know how to take the seduction from A all the way to Z. You are the man, you are supposed to lead. She wants you to lead, and not have to take the responsibility for the end result. She delivered herself to your door, on a silver platter, and you didn't have a plan. There are steps they need to be taken through. You CANNOT be skipping steps or leaving some out. Not when you are not experienced enough to cut corners. Make sure you have some kind of plan next time, along with a couple of default moves.AlmostThere! said:I didn't know what else to do. Her body language was totally cold. She wasted my time TWICE. I shouldn't have even answered her phone call.
