As in topic how much time in advance you usually set up a date. Is it same day or e.g. three days earlier?
She says the movie looks dumb; you suddenly agree. She tests you with a little attitude; you apologize for nothing.
You think you're being easy to get along with. She reads something else entirely: a man with no edges. Nothing to hold on to. No friction, no tension, no reason to wonder what he really thinks.
The "22 Rules" taught me to push back — playfully, calmly, without needing her approval. Strange things happened after that.
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.
Did you mean date set-up from cold approach? What about second or fifth date?As late as possible, best thing would be meet her in the morning and set the date for the evening but even then I wouldnt be 100% sure.
No mate, I mean set-up with a girl I know already, cold approaches are done only to finalize right after.Did you mean date set-up from cold approach? What about second or fifth date?
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.
This way you can meet her at most one time a week because If you have your date on day 1 (just to enumerate days) then wait 3 days till day 4 to set up next date and date will be 3 days from setup point then date will be on day 7. This is quite seldom and it would not work if I want to meet girl twice a week.Agreed with the 3-4 days out. The silence leading up to the date builds anticipation. I make zero contact unless they reach out. If you did this a week or more in advance, that just seems a bit awkward. If I know I am busy for the week, I will just make small idle chat every couple days till I get to that 3-4 day mark.
If they can't confirm, don't set aside your time for them! Can't stress this enough! You are busy man, and your free time is valuable!
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.
If YOU want to meet her twice in a week, that's exactly what you should do. I dont like rules, I like doing what I want to do. If that means seeing her once a week, seeing her 3 times in a week, not seeing her at all for 2 weeks.....I do what I want. That is the key to it.This way you can meet her at most one time a week because If you have your date on day 1 (just to enumerate days) then wait 3 days till day 4 to set up next date and date will be 3 days from setup point then date will be on day 7.

Yeah but if time between informing her about date and actual date is 3 days then you have to inform her on the next day after last date. I'm afraid that kills tension. If on other hand I prolong time between last date and informing her then I have to schedule date for same or next day. It gives a little time and may cause her not accepting because she have plans already.If YOU want to meet her twice in a week, that's exactly what you should do.

Do what you want. Your posts are making my head hurt as I try to calendar together your dates.Yeah but if time between informing her about date and actual date is 3 days then you have to inform her on the next day after last date.

Correct. I don't have rules, but I don't really have a lot of time to see women more than once a week. If you are spinning several plates, then you won't really have more than once a week to spend time with her. I have kids, so logisitcally, I can really only squeeze in two dates a week, maybe 3 sometimes. I would much rather see 3 women in one week than one...This way you can meet her at most one time a week because If you have your date on day 1 (just to enumerate days) then wait 3 days till day 4 to set up next date and date will be 3 days from setup point then date will be on day 7.

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.
