and she declines to do anything?
You replay the conversation at 2 a.m. She texted back fast yesterday. Today, nothing. Was that smile friendly or flirty? What did the shoulder touch mean?
Every hour you spend decoding her signals drains your confidence and hands her the controls. Women can sense that insecurity from across the room — and it repels them.
One of the "22 Rules" kills the obsession on the spot: assume she likes you, and act accordingly. Sounds too simple. Works anyway.
Her interest tends to rise to meet your expectations. Psychologists call it a self-fulfilling prophecy.
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.
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 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.
