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.
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.
after your last LTR do you really want to give any female a second chance?So do you feel like giving a girl atleast two changes?
Don't you think dropping someone at first fuk up is over drastic
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.
If she shows drama and disrespect early on during the first few dates you can only be thankful and make a swift clean exit.
It's more difficult if she turns into a witch later on.
Rude and bad attitude is grounds for immediate dismisal. If she is this way in the beginning imagine how she will be when her interest plummetsIf your dating a very HOT girl and she is displaying red flags..
Rude, or bad attitude.. or maybe manipulative!
How quick are you to drop her? How many chances before you think b@tch has to go?
What if she does not respond maturely?? Instead negatively or defensive of her behaviorLet her know that she is being disrespectful but be polite about it, don't attack her. Make sure that you know your boundaries and allow a girl to play games with you. Examine why she is being this way, could it be something that offended her that you might have said or done. Or is she just spoiled. If you like her be patient, give her some room to make some minor mistakes, if she responds maturely, forgive.
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.
depends on their **** ups relative to their upsides.So do you feel like giving a girl atleast two changes?

Exactly what I do. I'll simply bring up the behavior I don't agree with twice at most. If it continues I simply give them enough rope to hang themselves with and drop them. As in no talking, no investing any further at all. No text, email, calls nothing. Leave, learn and grow in a positive direction from the situation. One time I tried to ignore my own advice simply to test myself that I wasn't the issue in dismissing people too quickly that I knew were exhibiting toxic traits. Proved myself correct and finally dropped the last one and kept it moving.after your last LTR do you really want to give any female a second chance?
Here's the thing...if a person is being an a$$ and treating you poorly, the ONLY way I would ever consider giving them a second chance is if I communicated to them "I wont put up with being treated that way" and they didn't try to defend or dismiss my communication. If they seem to understand what I am saying and where I am coming from, and are agreeable, then okay, let's try again.
If you say nothing about how you feel disrespected, the behavior WILL occur again - if only because you appeared to have put up with it before, so there's 'nothing wrong' as far as the other person knows.
This is why it is very important for all you DJ's looking for females to eventually LTR (plates or exclusive) to learn to speak to the females you are seeing. practice telling them what your needs, are and watch how they take the information. The submissive and respectful female is going to listen, understand and respond positively. Any other reaction from a female means you shouldn't waste real space on the chick. At the very least you get to practice your communication skills, and become less afraid at communicating on that level.
Basic rules of assertive behavior.What if she does not respond maturely?? Instead negatively or defensive of her behavior
Yes, in the first 3 months, you have one foot out the door. After that, you hold on to her hand as if she is dangling from the Empire State Building.Very fast in the first three months, then progressively slower. Very hard to do after a year or so.
Cut her some slack if she does things right after making a mistake. Reward good behavior and ignore bad behavior.What if she does not respond maturely?? Instead negatively or defensive of her behavior
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.
