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.
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.
Dude, you texted her (I'm guessing) an hour before the date. She didn't answer. Want to know why? She was probably getting ready!Originally posted by The_Shezzler
Im not complaining - and all the Hbs i got with last night werent either.
Hmmm Movies wit a girl who aint got no money - ot town sesh with the boys?
I know which id go for every time - i dont spend my time waiting arounf for women. EVER
you think youre more of a DJ than you really are....Relax man youre not. Yea i agree, between the two options i would have not chosen movies with a girl who doesnt have money. But you decide that before you make a date. I wouldnt really care if i stood the girl up and i had a good reason, but if it was due to insecurity just bc she didnt call then id wipe the sand off my vagina.Originally posted by The_Shezzler

Sorry - i dont know what insecure means m8 - Im not a DJ - no one is and never will be
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.
Indeed. You expected her to flake...so you jumped at the first flake" signal she supposedly gave. I think maybe you were setting yourself up for failure, and then make excuses or reasons why you are right.Originally posted by DJDamage
You rejected yourself.
You should have got dressed and been ready for the date and then give her a call an hour prior to the date for confirmation. If she fails to get back to you within half and hour then consider the date a no go and toss out her number and then go do other plans.
You jumped the gun to early in my opinion.
I thought you were with your dad? You can't keep your story straight.Originally posted by The_Shezzler

i agree but when you stand a girl bc you didnt think she wasnt going to show up just bc she didnt return a text message right away that shows insecurity. as i said i could care less if something else came up and i couldnt go on the date, but thats if i at least had a good reason.Originally posted by DJohnson
1. Your family is more important than any one girl.
2. It is not a bad thing to occasionaly reschedule. It shows you have a life. She had no problem delaying her reaction to you, so you should not feel negative about delaying the pleasure you are going to give her on your next date.
Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.
She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.
Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.
So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.
The words come later. The impression comes first.
