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.
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.
This! I had a girl awhile back make plans with me only to flake the day we were supposed to go out. Then she turn around 2 hours before the time we had set to go out with a text about "We can still go out if you want to. I chickened out earlier." I was thinking "wtf are you 13 years old or something?". This girl was a 27 year old teacher acting like a complete child. Chickened out. wtf lady? I told her sorry I made plans to work late after you canceled on me. Then she proceeds to pretty much BEG me to take her @$$ out when I got off work. Ain't gonna happen. I'm not working 10 hours, rush home to take a shower and chance you changing your mind again. She then goes into the "well don't kick yourself later on, you had your chance!" Um, ok, you and that white horse you rode in on can both go to he!!. She did go out of her way to mention she had a date the next night. Wonder if she cancelled on that guy? Probably not. Oh well, screw em both. I stood my ground with this b!tch and wasn't about to lose my dignity to come running to her after she changes her mind. Have some pride fellas!skinnyguy said:High chance that if she does end up making plans with you, she'll flake.
If a girl flakes on me, I promptly delete her number. It should be a ONE strike rule. A girl will never flake if she is interested in you.
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.

Ok, so basically go ghost and when/if she says she's free for sure then great? She went from saying "maybe next weekend, I have to check my schedule" to "I should be free next weekend" after I said "ok, cool". Didn't reply to her second text. Just wait a week and see if she gets back to me with firm "I'm free" instead of asking again?nismo-4 said:We should amend the two strikes rule into a one strike rule. Women are playing more games than ever and as we all know, a woman who is interested in you will not confuse you, and will find a way to make a meeting with you happen!
I drop any woman who flakes on me once. A flake equals low to no interest and the women who flake on you typically know they're flaking. Using a celebrity maxim, it all makes sense. Why would a woman flake if she wants to see you, and run the risk of losing out on you?
There are those who will counteroffer, but those are few and far in between. If she goes ghost on you, drop her.
Most guys accidentally kill attraction before they even speak. They assume they need a bigger bank account, a better physique, or smoother lines. They miss the point.
Female desire operates on a specific set of psychological triggers. Break them, and you're invisible. Follow them, and you become magnetic.
I learned this the hard way. Years of freezing up. Getting friend-zoned. Watching other guys walk away with the girl I wanted. Then I discovered a set of 22 simple rules that rewired my entire approach.
This was an option, but I didn't want to seem butthurt since her excuse actually seemed legit.marmel75 said:I've found that dropping a hint while your talking/texting in the first few texts like "You are not one of those flaky women who makes plans and then doesn't follow through are you? I usually avoid them like the plague..." seems to help reduce them for me...
No, no...not after she gives you the excuse, literally in your first few texts before you ask her out...just as a playful kind of thing...teddy said:This was an option, but I didn't want to seem butthurt since her excuse actually seemed legit.
YES.teddy said:Just wait a week and see if she gets back to me with firm "I'm free" instead of asking again?
Will be difficult with my schedule. I basically only have the weekends free to do anything and not be tired for it. She works a similar schedule.hockeyfreak79 said:Chicks & guys have sh*t on weekends planned out in advance. Is this a first date meet-up?
Your probability is higher if you try going for a week day date with a new broad. Sun-Thurs with new chicks @ night. Make them earn Fri/Sat night dates when it becomes a guaranteed lay. Give it a try next time, be different every beta/chump is asking her out on Fri/Sat night.
If she can't do a week day date then you have your answer, low interest.

Relax. He just met her and asked her out for a weekend and she was busy. People post high school and college book get busy on weekends. She countered that she was free the following weekend. He may still be good, just has to wait and see. No need to be so rigid.pyros said:COME ON....she's just NOT INTERESTED dude.
if she was she wouldnt be that busy to start with! for god's shake, stop waisting your time trying to figure out why she's not available for you. SHE DOES NOT LIKE YOU.
