"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 know I can't do dinner and a movie and hope to get even closer to a woman. I claimed that I am fun and romantic on dates...even though I haven't dated in a long time! I only did so to make myself seem that I'm worth more and had more experience with women than what I really had. ;)

But what can you do on a date to be romantic and get the girl more attracted to you? If I make a claim like the one above and not have the proof, word on the streets will get out HEAVILY and I'll have a 1 in 100 chance to ever be able to take a woman out (or have sex) again. Suggestions are always welcome. Thanx!
 

"Why Women Dump the Guys Who Try the Hardest"

You paid for dinner. You drove. You said "whatever you want is fine" every single time. All the effort, no expectations.

And she left anyway — probably for a guy who makes her pick up the pizza.

Painful. Also predictable. Her mind quietly concludes that anything requiring zero effort from her is worth exactly zero. You became a free sample, and free samples get taken for granted.

The 22 Rules flip the dynamic. Small shifts that get her investing effort, money, and time in you — until SHE'S the one afraid of losing YOU.

What makes you think women want a first date to be romantic? What kind of things were you thinking of doing to "be romantic"?

Why do guys set themselves up like this? Would it have been so difficult to say that you were laid back and would just want to meet casually to see what happens? How exactly do you expect to come off as having a ton of experience without having any? What can be said that will immediately turn you into a DJ? I don't know, maybe you can find something in the DJB.

she earns the romance by complying with your date ideas and allowing you to get physical with her

you don't yet know if she is worthy of romance

Never make it seem like you think you have to prove yourself to her by claiming such things. You already have her on a pedastal like you're trying to get her to like you... listing your qualities etc.

Just don't do it next time.

Since you already have, if she questions you or wonders why you aren't acting 'romantic' like you claim, tell her she hasn't done anything to make you feel like she warrants it or something in a witty/funny way.

If you make her feel she has to work for you and she's the one worrying about whether or not you like her, things will go a lot smoother and in your favour!

"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.

"Romantic" means different things. It can mean afc wuss, and if you ask women to define the term, what they will describe is mostly afc behavior. But then if they had a date with a guy who did those things, they would say that they just didn't feel attraction (even though he was a really nice guy...).

What women actually want is a man who displays the type of behavior that we know generates attraction: demonstrating value, social proof, kino, leadership, independence, and keeping her guessing about your feelings by using push/pull and mixing fun neg-hits with the occasional unexpected compliment. When you do the right things, you generate attraction, and women will think of you as 'romantic,' even though you don't conform to the traditional Hallmark-card concept of romance.

nismo-4,

romantism exists only in book. Let me tell you about real life. One day I was chatting (really sarging in fact :D ) with my actual GF and said : "In the next minute I'll pick up my phone and call you. Be near. I want to feel you smiling through the line..."

The next time we met, she called me a romantic :D Can anybody guess why?

I keep searching about the word "romantism"
