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.
I walk up to them and touch them somewhere like the arm or shoulder and say hey what's up. I make a tiny bit of small talk and say that they look busy and to hit me up when they have time and we can make something happen. Usually I put it in their phone or I write it down somewhere.
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.
Hahahahaa f8cking creep
For sure, I don't really discuss any money making Ventures here.
Creep game on a thousand hahaha
Legal is legal hahah
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.
15-17 is not legal though.
Man I worry about this, the hot chick in the malls in my are HOT but worries me if I get accused of harassment etc??
Thanks, dude. I give out my number for many reasons. Im lazy with women and it's a pain in the avs to text all of those numbers. I find that the super interested ones hmu eventually
Haha I feel that. I've been experimenting with leaving them my number for a week or so now to see how it goes. I get more results from getting theirs
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.
How did you handled this?
Gave him a head nod and left
PLEASE record all data. E.g, numbers given, calls received (even much later).
Indeed.
I don't remember much from this day of trying to get laid. But on my most recent one I went into more detail and calculated everything up. U c it?
I was more thinking in terms of days and weeks out, % of numbers given that result with girls calling you etc. over time.
I was thinking a hundred Shock and Awe openers might be interesting.
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.
