"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.

When I try to isolate, i feel it's obvious what my intentions are, and she knows too! And i just feel like a stalker or a creeper or something. It's just hard for mee. Isolation just doesn't feel good for me, unless i would really had to tell her something important.

MAYBE, Isolation should be used when i want to tell her something more intimate, like my problems or insecurities or whatever i feel i want to tell her. Maybe it should be used when I open my heart
 

"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.

Whenever I need to isolate in a bar/club I just tell her to come with me so I can talk to her because it's too loud where we are. There's nothing wrong with moving someone so you can talk to them better ;)

I personally would steer away from telling anything too personal to girls I'd just met as (in my eyes) it'd come across as a little 'weird', lame and would eliminate the atmosphere of fun that'd I'd probably have spent my time building up..

Don't ask her. Just say very casually, "let's go over [insert place] here." Say it in the same way you'd say that to a friend. First go for a semi-isolation where it's just you and her in a public place. Get away from friends etc. Then once you built up more comfort and you've escalated the kino, that's when you go for the full isolation. Say something like, "I'm still having fun and the night is young, let's go to my place and have a drink/watch a movie/listen to some music/smoke some weed/insert other activity"

I find it's always better not to ask per se. "Ask" as though it were a command. And always say it very casually like it's no big deal at all.

MAYBE you should shoot yourself in the foot! Why would you tell a woman what your problems or insecurities are?:nono: We don't want to hear that crap! We don't want to go out with a whiny "oh poor me!" b!tch! :down: That's what we have girlfriends for!

Isolation is to get to know some one better, test the waters, see if they are interested sexually in you....not to play Dr. Phil!

I'm utterly speechless at that last part you wrote in bold. I'm just gonna say 'no' to that part.

As for the first part ... chances are that you feeling like a stalker or a creeper is making them think that you are a stalker or a creeper. If the rest of your game leading up to that point is solid then isolation is not an issue. It sounds like you're pretty awkward and nervous with women and you strike me as the type of person who over analyses things way too much. You're not comfortable with girls and this is why isolating is proving difficult.
 

"Nervous Around Beautiful Women? There's a Rule for That"

I could talk to any woman I wasn't attracted to. Charming, funny, relaxed. Then a gorgeous woman looked my way and I'd become a sweating, babbling mess.

The fix took me years to find and ten minutes to learn. Nervousness and excitement are the same physical state — pounding heart, adrenaline, flushed face. Your brain just picks the label. And you can pick a better one.

Rule 16 shows you how. You feel the nerves, relabel them as excitement, and let that energy pour out as enthusiasm. Women notice the guy radiating it. They always do.
