You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.
Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.
Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.
Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.
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.
ehh?intraining said:So if she doesnt bother to call in the next few weeks just forget about her? damn i would really like another chance to do all those things.I was thinking if she doesnt call i will come the 14 because i want to see i am legened(new movie with will smith)
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.
Its been about 6 weeks since the last time i saw her.I didnt bother to call after that last interaction but i did send a message on xmas day just saying merry xmas and thats it.On new years i didnt bother to do anything.Should i contact? i really want to and test the waters with a kiss test but im not sure if i should wait for her to call cuz in that case ill just block her out of my mind and forget herintraining said:So if she doesnt bother to call in the next few weeks just forget about her? damn i would really like another chance to do all those things.I was thinking if she doesnt call i will come the 14 because i want to see i am legened(new movie with will smith)
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.
GOD, FOR FVCK SAKE shut UP! If you wanna go cry about life go to a female forum where they might care!intraining said:She and him are not together.She broke up with him a few days after going out with me.What am i saying? im being playd and i know it.First good looking girl to ever like me for me and i ruined everything.The first woman to ever care about what was going on with me and i ****ed it up.Twenty two years old and nothing has happened to me and why? because i do not have the experience.Learning experience or not im just going to live my life and hopefully something out of the blue like this happens again cuz i kno i will never be able to approach someone in public.
I cant believe this......i thought it was time for things to turn around but i guess im going to have to wait a few more years or stop trying all together.I wish i went into this with experience cuz then maybe i would be with her.I enjoyed the times i had with her and i had never been so happy.From just a regular joe to being liked by a hb71/2.I just want to go back and start again
A **** buddy as you call it, is a person who's just a FRIEND that you feel attracted to physicly, but not emotionaly (WHICH you definetly are). If one of the parties is emotionaly attached, this will end up with one person or both people very hurt. If this person is not even your friend (which she isen't), then she is just using you and the posebilety of getting hurt has exponentially increased. Meaning: You do not want a person like this as your **** buddy!intraining said:Alright i guess its best that i just forget about it and take it as a loss.I wish i didnt **** up so bad early on.Another one lost due to my inexperience.Was really hoping for her to become a **** buddy
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.
