"You Can't Argue a Woman Into Liking You"

You made your case like a lawyer. Stable job. Good guy. Ready for something real. All true. All irrelevant.

She weighed your points, nodded along, felt nothing — then fell hard for some tattooed bartender with a motorcycle and a gambling problem.

Logic is where attraction goes to die. The "22 Rules" work a level deeper, on the subconscious switches that decide within minutes whether you register as a MAN or as part of the furniture.

Stop presenting evidence. Start flipping switches.

I had a date with a girl before I went on holiday, it went pretty well and we agreed to meet up when I got back. I get back give it a few days and call her. Goes through to her answer machine so I figure she is working and text her. She replies thus:

"Hey. It will be nice to see you again. At my workplace some people went for holiday so im now working more than 50 hours a week plus babysitting one day a week. When I have some time i will text you we can go park or something"

This girl works in a bar and is trying to get enough money together for college this september, and figure she will be working pretty much every evening. But even so i take the view no-one works 24 hours a day so can make time if they really want to.

Is it worth leaving it and seeing if she does text while I enjoy chasing other girls? Or should I next her and save myself the hassle?
 

"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."

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.

I wouldn't next her. Just go out and find other chicks. If this one chick gets up with you great - if not, well you'd be occupied with others anyways.

So just let her get in touch, don't press the issue or you'll seem desperate

Studying the fact that all lies contain fragments
She is letting you know that you are not a top priority in her life ... she already has a few dudes providing sex... soo.. you are on hold till she has a need/use for you... i.e. dont hold your breath...

Respond with - "yeh i am slammed with work and other stuff too i hope we can make time for each other since we clicked soo well last time!"

I don't see any reason why you shouldn't leave the door open. The key is to not worry about it and espically don't see it as a hassle. You've already planted a seed, continue what you are doing instead of worrying if this one will bloom or be a dud.
 

"Why Women Dump the Guys Who Try the Hardest"

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.

I would give her a week.
When girls start telling me reasons why they can't see me, their interest level is low.
Thats a pretty elaborate excuse that says "its not your fault is mines, you're nice and I don't want to hurt your feelings"
If she wanted to see you, she wouldn't have mentioned any of it, because an excuse like that is made to lower your expectations of getting together. And she wouldn't want to do that if she liked you, unless she's a masochist.

Cut off all contact with her for 1 week. Then call her out of the blue and offer to take her out that same day.

I know its more intimidating for guys at first but speak to the girl on the phone, dont text and change your language, she agreed to meet up so say something along the lines of 'heya how you doing? :)

when are you free next then?' She hasnt got the choice to escape this way, girls like to be dominated and led, dont ask questions like would you still like to meet me or it would be nice to see you again. Good luck :)

Guys are too trigger happy with this "next" crap.

Just let her do her thing, while you're doing yours. If she texts, so be it, if she doesn't well, you don't care because you're with other women.

Saving yourself the hassle of what?

Option A: Chase other girls and see if she does text you

Option B: Don't chase other girls and see if she does text you.

run with option A, if she doesnt get back to its her loss
 

"She's Out of Your League"

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.
