She says the movie looks dumb; you suddenly agree. She tests you with a little attitude; you apologize for nothing.
You think you're being easy to get along with. She reads something else entirely: a man with no edges. Nothing to hold on to. No friction, no tension, no reason to wonder what he really thinks.
The "22 Rules" taught me to push back — playfully, calmly, without needing her approval. Strange things happened after that.
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.
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.
ok first of all..I HATE THAT PHRASE...Spade said:lmao, bro wat if i hooked up with her on the first date?
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.
Just spend some time with her.Spade said:Aite bro i never thought of it that way... i guess ill work ma magic untill she brings it up.
Any ideas, how i can get really close with her?
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.
lol. I will tell you from experience that was kinda epic fail. lol. Even tho the girl gave me my 1st kiss, we did not date.loleaglez1177 said:Like I said in the other thread, I still believe your rushing into things way too fast to be asking a girl to be your gf when you've only gone on one date so far.
But if you really wanna go for it (which i dont reccommend cuz i still think theres a shot she may deny you simply cuz she doesnt know you well enough, but hey if you really feel the attraction is there then go for it) heres what I would do:
Hang out with her one night, make sure the two of you are alone. When you feel the time is right (say at like the climax of wen u guys are hanging out, like a time wen you two just really connect), just tell her (maybe you could hold her hand too while you say it) "Hey bla blah I really enjoy being with you and I wanted to know if you would be my girlfriend"
^idk maybe someone can give a lil better advice, i mean how does that sound? Im not a huge expert when it comes to actually asking a girl out.
