But what @deesade means is you dont actually tell people to **** off, .true
Cause I can actually see you texting that Ryan.
You show them with your actions , if they text after 6pm you reply mid morning after etc etc
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.

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.
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.
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.

I don't understand how hard it is to get her contact details and ask to see her away from the friend....we've kissed before drunk.... I've mentioned food and she has never said no but never said yes either. I feel like she is playing the same game I am...holding back waiting to see if I text first etc... her friend is a huge thorn in my side also massive cvckblock. like I said this chick is a bar girl but I feel like her flirting is very harmless with everyone like she just has a very cutesy girly innocent personality. she was an ugly girl a few years ago I saw some old pics lol. so her personality is very innocent in a way. when I saw her last night I treated her like my little sister teased her talked to other Chicks in front of her. then after she had a few shots in her she had to sit right next to me basically touching me. if I stood up she stood up when I said I'm quitting drinking for a weeks she said she was doing the same thing even though I know she wasnt...i just for the life of me can't get her alone her and her friend are inseparable. I know this is a long and lame post but I gotta vent on here.
Really hard because she doesnt want thatI don't understand how hard it is to get her contact details and ask to see her away from the friend....
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.
