"The Kiss of Death Mistake"

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.

You next a girl, delete her number, and she calls/text you weeks later? By that time, you forgot about her and don't recognize the number?

I just played it off smoothly a few minutes ago. This girl I was interested in was telling me about her birthday weeks ago, and I tried to go out with her but of course she never committed to going out. So I delete her number.

I just got a text asking me if I'm still coming. I played it off cool an said "where at?". She says "my house starts at 10". So a little google searching on the area code, I tried to remember what girls I met from that state. Then she said "her house", I remember her birthday party was gonna be at her house.

I'm going for two reasons: there will be other girls there and more opportunity to practice my socialization skills.

I'm thinking about stopping to get some liquor so I won't go emptyhanded. I know that's good social etiquette (I'm not invited to parties that often).
 

"How I Made Sure No Woman Ever Friend-Zoned Me Again"

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.

Yah. I'm an ass, I'll ask "who dis?" Then LOL my ass off when the get all indignant about me deleting them. If I cared what they thought they would still be in my phone wouldn't they? They always give me their name and if the convo goes well I'll save them, if not I won't.

Hell yea!

It means she's probably after you, not vice versa. That's a good thing if that's the case.
 

"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.

Have not had that happen, but I had a girl call me last night and I didn't know her name (i met her when I was wasted and didn't save her name in phone). haha. I just asked her what her name was, like it was perfectly normal. She didn't seem to care. I don't know whats going on with her though. Seems kind of needy.

I say just tell her you legitimately forgot about her, apologize, then move forward with it from there. I think she would appreciate the honesty and maybe think there's something special about you.

Go. Dress well, smell good, head up, smile, speak seldomly... but with confidence and generalship. bring the booze as you planned, and even a gift. I prefer doing that, it shows class & that you have $$. Pick out a flirty HB friend at the party & flirt with her... then enjoy the competition.

For the first sentence, Valentine's Day was last week.

For the second sentence, bring Hennessey, Patron, Grey Goose, Hpnotiq, or a combination of these. Extra points for Honey and Fruit Punch (Hawaiian Punch, Welch's, or similar.)

Do you think drunk people at a party really give two ****s or remember what you bring to the party?

When I go to a party I always just bring what I want to drink and make sure there's enough for me and some others. Don't worry about what you bring alcohol wise though, just worry about adding some fun to the party. Although that doesn't mean you should go without any alcohol. Bring pack of beer, liquor or whatever...don't think you're going to standout by wasting money on a bottle of "classy" liquor.
 

"Nervous Around Beautiful Women? There's a Rule for That"

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.

IF, I don't know her,she may get a card,but thats about it. Just like weddings where they invite everyone in the state just for the gift-if I don't know them,I won't go, or send a card.

a) he DOES know her b) If one attends (and eats/drinks/etc), he/she should bring a gift.
It shows class, and besides for a $10 gift you make her just a little beholden to you.

This is a girl he barely talks too.

Him showing up at the party IS the gift. And he's bringing alcohol, so he's not coming empty handed. Everyone else will be bringing gifts. Let all the other guys be the AFC's that shower her with presents.

Hit up that party and flirt with EVERY girl you can EXCEPT her. Let HER approach YOU.

Remember, you deleted her number for a reason.

Go and have a GOOD time. No, scratch that, have a GREAT EFFING time.

"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"

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.
