"You Can't Argue a Woman Into Liking You"

You made your case like a lawyer. Stable job. Good guy. Ready for something real. All true. All irrelevant.

She weighed your points, nodded along, felt nothing — then fell hard for some tattooed bartender with a motorcycle and a gambling problem.

Logic is where attraction goes to die. The "22 Rules" work a level deeper, on the subconscious switches that decide within minutes whether you register as a MAN or as part of the furniture.

Stop presenting evidence. Start flipping switches.

How would you have handled this?

Hey, DJ's.

The other day I ran into a woman I had been out with once, but bailed out on a second date. I gave her the benefit of the doubt and called to reschedule, which she did, but then she bailed on that one too. I did not make plans to reschedule -- figure that's twice, if she wants to see me, she can call me.

Of course, she smiles, starts talking to me, and says, "You don't call me anymore."

I responded with, "That's because it's incovenient."

HB: "Why is it inconvenient?"
Me: "Because it's a waste of my time."

Now, that might seem pretty blunt, but that's honestly how I feel -- don't stand there and complain to me about me not calling you when I do and you cancel twice in a row, then never call back.

She looked crushed. I'm not sure if this is her M.O. and she sees how long she can get away with it or what. I just shook my head and walked away.

Polite enough? How would you gents have handled it?
 

"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.

nicely put, but i think she was just trying to make small talk...

i hate it when people tell me "you dont call anymore", i hear that quite a lot actually and every time it pisses me off.. for the simple reason is that they can call too!

The way i see it, you have two options, you can either give up and have 0 chance, or plow through ala gunwitch and keep trying until she flat out rejects you. I would have said "Hey, I thought I left you a message, I was waiting for you to call me" and play it off like I didn't care (which I honestly don't), and then tell her "You know, you can take me out for dinner to make it up to me" (once again said playfully).

Odds are she'll flake out again, but you have better chances than just giving up. Don't go out of your way to see again if she flakes, but just be friendly yet distant.
 

"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."

Attraction runs on a clock.

She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.

The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."

One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.

Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.

Why would you even want a chance with somebody that already played you? This is what you dont do. You can't let hoes keep walking over you and give them a second and third chance to do it again.
