and she declines to do anything?
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.
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.
That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?
She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."
She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.
I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.
Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.
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.
