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.
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.
Yes, something like that. It is like a house divided on floors with shares spaces. So even if I am backing off there is a chance that we will bump up somewhere accidentally.
Man you dropped the ball here. Why did you want to wait a couple of days to see if she's playing a "game"? She was bold enough to ask you straight up what you were looking for and you weren't straight up with her. You said it yourself in your post "To be clear here I am cool with just having sex with her". You should of told her that.
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.
Yeah, but at the same time when I was persistent enough she was selling me BS like "I am not ready, lets wait a couple of days and so on". I made it clear what I want while she was still playing her game man. It might be due to the fact that she is still 21 yo shy girl. But I know that those girls could be such a *****s when they want. I am kinda cold down now and will see her actions, anyway I am cool now approaching other girls around.
You were right man. Got laid yesterday.
How much time did it take?
4 dates

I thought you got laid by stop responding/talking to her.
Yes, that is right. But it took her to stop playing less time that I expected.
