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.
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.
After the proper romance of about 5 weeks, if you get her alone, you should offer her a drink. Sit down together, have a sip. Take her drink and put it on the table. Reach under and lift her up, onto your lap. Tip her back and kiss her. Slowly work your way to a small French kiss (not the band Kiss, no Gene Simmons tongue). Let your hand go from her belly slowly up to her nipples.The subject line says it all ... after you've brought a chick over to your place, how do you get her into bed? What are the steps from the entrance to the bedroom?
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.
Lmao! Proper romance of 5 weeks? You sure you aren't trying to be her gay friend?After the proper romance of about 5 weeks, if you get her alone, you should offer her a drink.

Once I got to this point with the following 4 women (who I had never been alone with before) recently, here were the lines I used:
1) To the 20 year old I said: "I have some bad news. I think... I think we're going to have sex tonight. Listen, I don't like it any more than you do. But I think we should just get it over with". She said ok. Time to score: 6 minutes.
2) The 19 year old actually said "just f*ck me" before I said a word. I said ok. Time to score: 5 minutes.
3) The 22 year old was paranoid and wouldn't go further. I took her home. Time to score (didn't score - but still dating her).
4) With the 26 year old who I'd known 11 months, I didn't say a word. Time to score: 15 minutes.
Here is a good trick. If you have chemistry with a different girl, you can recreate that feeling by thinking about them.
I'm saying 5 weeks from the day you first lay eyes on her until you have her alone in your apartment or hotel room. You can have a one night stand, but you can't get a girl to have a crush and high interest instantly. But enlighten us - tell us about the 4 girls you had in hotels in the past 5 weeks.Lmao!

The 4 girls I was with I knew:
1) 5 weeks (my benchmark)
2) 6 months (then random one night stand)
3) 5 days (too soon)
4) 11 months (too long)
That's probably more than marmel75 has had since 2010, so bear with him.
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.
Steps! No man, there are no steps, you have to feel situation. Plus, for sex you don't have to bring her home. Also, sometimes you bring them home not for sex.The subject line says it all ... after you've brought a chick over to your place, how do you get her into bed?

Here's an idea - when you want to say something: have a point. It makes it so much easier for the reader.BigNeil, the class clown as always...

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.
Yes...a living legend in your own mind.Here's an idea - when you want to say something: have a point. It makes it so much easier for the reader.
There is nothing the DJ-wannabee's here hate more than seeing my raw, undeniably awesome statistics.
Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.
She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.
Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.
So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.
The words come later. The impression comes first.
