how many girls are you seeing now. Not ****ing yet?
"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.
how many plates are u spnning right now?

"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"
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.

at the moment, none. i asked a girl out to dinner last week but she had already made plans with a girlfriend. i'm probably going to ask out a different girl in a week or two, but i doubt she'll say yes.
kinda sucks to be me right now.

I would not be seeing a girl if I were not fvcking her, but I have two GFs right now. Both of them want to get married, but that would involve me not having two GFs any more, so I am not in a hurry to change anything.
"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"
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.

Right now it's more than I can count on one hand. But not enough to count on two.
IMO this whole plate spinning thing seems like utter nonsense. How am I supposed to spin two or three plates if I can't even spin one?

"How I Made Sure No Woman Ever Friend-Zoned Me Again"
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.

What types of problems are you having?Maxtro said:

i think you are missing the premise then.
trying to spin ONE plate defeats the purpose. you shouldnt even be thinking "okay...ill get one plate, then move to plate two, then three"
you are trying to spin "multiple plates" at one time. i think if you concentrate on SEVERAL plates, this problem with starting to spin ONE will inevitably take care of its self.
your time, effort, and energy is NEVER focused enough on a single plate that it even deserves this kind of attention.

None. A couple fell off and broke and a couple never got spinning.
"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"
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.

My problem seems to be, me being unable to make a connection with any girl and get her interested in me. I think it all comes down to the energy or lack thereof that I am putting out and that girls are feeling. I don't really know how to describe it or what is even wrong with me. But I am 100% certain that something is wrong.Francisco d'Anconia said:
In all honesty I would love to spin plates. It's a fantasy of mine to have 4 or 5 girls that I can have sex with when ever I want. But right now it seems almost impossible to spend any quality time with a woman.

The novelty of having sex with two different women on the same night is wearing off 
Whats happening to me now is they're all getting annoyed that i'm not giving them much attention!
I've realised something too... its good they're getting annoyed because I must be having some effect on them... before in my AFC days (I still am a small bit AFC) they'd just ignore me or see me as the nice guy but feel nothing for me. Only a few weeks ago I was getting dates cancelled but now I'm the one cancelling them!
Proof that the less attention you give them the more the want you..
