"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"
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.
How to ask a girl to become your girlfriend?
- Thread starter charnsak
- Start date
"She Laughed All Night. Then She Ghosted You. Here's Why."
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.

Thus, the real question is what type of girl will make you feel like a man, and that is the girl that you would ask to be a girlfriend if you be a man around her.
This one - you are a nice boy around her not a man, so she wont want to be your girlfriend cause the respect is not there.
"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"
She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.
Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.
The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.

Yesterday She asked me out for dinner...
I declined but asked her out to somewhere else she accecpted, We cool.
This part is all good.
But after I send her home, I was trying to call her but she was not pick up the call.
This is bad. After you have the date, don't call her! It can only go badly.
What happen?
You acted needy and clingy by calling her.
What should I do
Forget about her until your date. If she flakes, find a different girl.
What does she want?
She wants a man, so don't be a needy wuss. Never ask a wioman for commitment.
If you want her to be your gf, here's what you do: have sex with her. Then act like it is no big deal. Then have sex with her again a few days later. After you repeat this process a few times, then you become her bf without ever having the 'will you be my gf?' conversation.

Do you have it planned out? At least know what you want to do, including a second plan in case the first does not work out. Go do something you enjoy, and bring her along for the ride. Don't ask her what she wants to do. Don't worry about whether she is having a good time; just have fun, and she will. Before the night is over, you had better kiss her to avoid the friend zone. Do the kiss test, stroke her hair thing. If she rejects you at all, then don't call her again.
i find its something that just happens... you hang out together, you have a good time, you fool around, you have sex after a while, it becomes a MUTUAL understanding that you two are exclusive hence you are boyfriend and girlfriend..
"She's Out of Your League"
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.
I think it's a little rediculous to ask a girl out that you haven't known for a good amount of time, but if what you really want is a girlfriend, and you think you've found somebody special, I say go for it.

"I'm Not Looking for Anything Serious Right Now"
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.

That depends, at least here in Brazil is culturally expected that the man (or sometimes the girl) ask the other person to be "girlfriend/boyfriend". Of course, after long time having romantic seeingsCentaurion said:

"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.
