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.
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.
Yes I'm kissing her. Not to much sexual touching. We've only had 2 dates and on the last one I tried to escalate when we were back at her place but she kept kissing me but said it's too soon. I was thinking of giving her 2 more dates than that's it (I'm hoping to have her over to my new place once I'm settled in in a week and a half).badboyjmm said:It depends a lot in my opinion. Are you kissing her ? Are you touching her in a sexual matter ? If you are getting some action usually 3-5 dates should be fine.
If you are not getting anything it should be 3 dates, passed that, the girl is not interested in you as a sexual partner but as a friend.
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.
Woman like to use alcohol as an "excuse" for their actions. She doesn't want to be labeled as "slvtty" so you got to either stroke her pony the right way and let her know that whatever happens you won't think less of her. Or you guys need a bottle of wine and a little a lone time.Scion said:When I met this girl she had been drinking and she was throwing IOIs at me all night. No effort getting the make out, she had no issue with me grabbing her ass, etc. Hell, if it weren't for her friends insisting she comes home with them and me being in no position to take her home, I probably would have tried to take her home that night (who knows what the result would have been). Instead got her number and had our first meet 3 days later. First date was fun, she was a lot more reserved than at the club. We kissed a few times, no make out though (she kept cutting the kiss short, but wouldn't ever reject the kiss). Our second date was a week later, basically just an afternoon on the town. Went back to her place, smoked a joint, make out. We go up to her room to get something, I try escalating. She again cuts the kisses short, with her giggling, pushing me back saying it's too soon. We haven't made plans again yet, we've sent a couple of texts back and forth but that's it.
well I'll probably invite her over to my place in the next week or two to watch a movie. So I'll just try escalating again, and if she doesnt put out I'll just end the night without drama and never talk to her again. I'm not interested in having another girl as a friend (they are pretty ****ty friends), and I'm tired of being the guy that women don't fvck.Scars said:Woman like to use alcohol as an "excuse" for their actions.

When she cut you off and said it's "too soon" she was testing you. I've heard this plenty of times before sex. You just got to tell her what she wants to hear.
"It's not too soon. We've seen each other 3 times. And each time we're together we have a great and amazing time.. you can't deny it.."
Then stroke her hair and go for it again without her even saying a word. Guaranteed she'd run with it. She may try and stop you again (some girls have a strong anti slt defense..) and she might say.
"I'm sorry it's just.."
Always cut her off. Woman are ruled by emotions. You need to play to their fantasies and override their logic before they have time to think. So you instantly assume you know what she is thinking.
"I know. I'm sorry. You're just so damn cute. I can't help myself."
If she brings something about about feeling "bad" this basically translates into feeling like a "slvt". You have to absolutely make her NOT feeling this way. Tell her that you respect her as a woman. That anything that happens you won't think less of her. Remind her that you both are single, alive, and raging souls just looking to have fun (woman love sh!t like that.) Pretty much make her feel good, and make her feel in the moment, and that whatever happens it's not a mistake.
I'd be damn surprised if you don't got the girl at this point. But I have had girls throw up a 3rd defense. Which I usually then say "Yeah. You're right. We shouldn't be doing this.." but don't say it sarcastically or mean. Say it nonchalantly, like it doesn't matter. I then just turn over and act like I'm going to sleep. This is where patience comes in. Give it up to like 5 mins, but eventually her girl is going to go "wtf?!" why isn't this guy trying to keep pushing me into having sex with him! She's going to rub your back or head lightly or something of that sort.. she is trying to get a reaction out of you. Simply don't move. Really act like you are asleep. She'll stop for a second. Then her girl brain gets even more confused. She starts escalating more.. she may even try and shake you, some girls might even go as far as grab your d!ck, or some will just slide their hand up your shirt and rub your sides or chest. Still, remain a statue. You have to wait for that one moment. The moment where is utterly confused as hell. And you can sense she is frustrated. Then you just turn off grab her face and start passionately making out with her. You've then passed the test, and overrode her logic. Now you're just seconds away of being balls deep in this woman.
This is how I've managed to do it a few times. Some girls just give it up easily, other girls you have to play mind games with. They love it though. So don't feel bad.
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.
