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.
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.
yea, that's it. Why isn't that one in the bible?Originally posted by oakraiderz2
EDIT: It could be because you can't spell and have poor grammar...

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.

Guys, stop complaining and get stick to the topic.
The best way to keep a girl's desire to spend time with you is by keeping her interested in you. This answer should be an obvious one.
How to do that? Be charming, funny, sweet, fun, and let her ENJOY your company...

If you believe that it's going to be hard then it's gonna be hard.Easier said than done.
When a woman says it, guys hear a confession. A heads-up. A scheduling conflict.
Here's the translation: I don't feel anything. Right now. With you.
Watch what happens when a man triggers actual attraction. The busy career, the recent breakup, the "not in a place to date" — all of it evaporates instantly. The same woman who was guarding her freedom is suddenly free every night.
The "22 Rules" explain why. When the right switches flip, her timeline rearranges itself around you.

I'm assuming that you did know those mistakes, and were mocking him.
You do have a point though. I personally don't mind the odd spelling and grammar mistakes as much as those ****ing tools who come on, write a post in 15 seconds, and are totally incoherent when you go to read it.
Well, of course it's going to be hard, if you're not naturally a funny, I can be ****y, but being funny isn't one of my strong points and a lot of times when I'm ****y, it comes off as being assholish. But this isn't my topic to debate in.Originally posted by Holland
If you believe that it's going to be hard then it's gonna be hard.
If you just have fun, and enjoy yourself first it will be a lot easyer. Maybe you're trying to hard to be funny, charming and an enjoyment to be around. Or maybe you're not doing anything at all.
The fact is that you just got to be relaxed en laidback. You just have to make sure you enjoy the interaction YOURSELF.
You have conflicting tenses. "We were" is grammatically correct.Originally posted by bluelemond

What is wrong with this you may ask?
You're right,
(Complete sentence, contractions are bad English.)
CORRECT: You are right.
im asking WAY TOO MUCH for people to spell correctly... (Capitalize your first word, contractions need ', again contractions are bad English, do not capatilize words for no reason, and your ... does not make sense because it is a complete sentence and you are not leaving out anything.)
CORRECT: I am asking way too much for people to spell correctly.
my deepest apologizes.
(Again capitalize your first letter in the sentence, however, you did use an implied subject and verb correctly, but "apologizes?" I do not get it. Do you mean apologies? Apologizes doesn't not exist. Ex: "I apologizes" or "We apologizes" It do not exist. I believe you are looking for a plural noun "Apologies.")
CORRECT: My deepest apologies.
CORRECT: You are right. I am asking way too much for people to spell correctly. My deepest apologies.
That was a complete waiste of my time.
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.

No.
She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.
Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.
The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.
