"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.

So tonight I was at a friends college grad party. I went to go use the bathroom which was located in the hallway and saw this girl I took out a long time ago waiting for someone to get out. There was a body length mirror at the end of the hallway and she was checking herself out. I asked her:

ME: so, you like checking yourself out?
HER: well, sometimes. Why, do YOU like checking yourself out?
ME: Naw...I don't really like what I see.
HER: (turns away from the mirror and looks at me) HUH?! no way! shuttup!
ME: Do you like what you see?
HER: Omg, HELL yea! I love it!
ME: (and without thinking)Good. Cuz you're looking right at ME.:cool:
HER: hahaha! omg!(punches me on the arm and starts kinoing a bit.

I later recalled this incident and realized that it was CnF.

There was also another time at work with my old target. I was trying to get her number and I did it in a way that I thought was kinda "*****y" on my part. I told her that I was gonna text her a pic that would most likely amuse her and she had doubts about it saying that it might be a nasty pic. I took a risky move and told her:

ME: Ok, if its a nasty pic and you don't like it CALL A CONSEQUENCE. ILL DO IT.
HER: Fine, if its gross you have to go on a date with our manager(he's gay).
ME: I dunno...you might get jealous;) .
HER: (looks at me starts smiling and her cheeks start blushing. So she covered her face giggling.)

I got her number in the end. hahaha

So yea....id like some feedback with this guys. Thanks.
 

"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"

You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.

Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.

Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.

Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.

That is not at all CnF. You just admitted you are insecure.
 

"How I Made Sure No Woman Ever Friend-Zoned Me Again"

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.

Telos, ssh. You do NOT know whether he said it in a ****y, exaggerated way or not. Ask the right questions, and you'll get the right questions. He can say whatever the hell he damn well pleases.

Yea, I wasnt gonna explain EVERY single detail of the scenario but since you brought this up: I looked in the mirror, turned to my left and right side, fixed my collar, and with a smirk on my face said "Naw...I don't really like what I see."
 

"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"

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.

I wasn't asking questions. Of course he can say whatever he pleases, he just won't manage to make much progress with his current approach. Tell me how you can deliver a self depreciating line in a ****y way? I'm telling you from experience, while his body language might have been smooth, it's that sort of self-depreciating humor that should be COMPLETELY eliminated from your exchanges. There is no ****Y in that delivery at all. He's underselling himself for a cheap laugh.

No he isn't. The self depreciating humour was only one short line, and the body language contradicted it. Her reaction was one of shock, it sort of threw her. Then he delivered the witty part, and got a good reaction.

What, exactly, was the witty part?

The whole premise of his "joke" consisted of him communicating that he was unsatisfied with his appearance with incongruent body language (way to throw her off ace), and then asking for validation. Finally, the punchline: "Good. Cuz you're looking right at ME." :crackup:

This is a far cry from CNF. It's just a horrible joke rescued by conflicting body language. Try something like this instead next time:

You: So, you like checking yourself out?
HER: Well, sometimes. Why, do YOU like checking yourself out?
You: HELL yes. Damn I look good. (brush your hair and strike a subtle model pose while obviously checking yourself out, brushing dirt off your shoulder, buffing fingernails on shirt, etc.)
HER: hahaha! omg! (punches you on the arm and starts kinoing a bit.)
You: Watch it lady, there is a cover charge to touch this merchandise. (wink / kino)

Or this:

You: Hey! Stop checking me out.
Her: hahaha! omg! I was not!
You: I know it's hard to control yourself... I'm incredibly irresistible... but at least wait until we get somewhere a little more private... jeez..

Etc...

I really think you're reading too much into this. You're probably the type that over analyses. The bit that you so vehemently disagree with was only a very small part of the overall product. In fact, it added to the punchline because she certainly would not expect someone who is apparently unhappy about their appearance to then accuse of her thinking he looks damn good.

Whatever you say, buddy. :cheer:
 

"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.

ditto.

Telos, I see what youre getting at but did you see what kind of examples you gave me? Those were just straight up ****Y. There was no funny in it, well: I dunno why the hell she would be laughing at that point unless she's really thinking, "oh geez...this guy swears he's sooo fine:rolleyes:". But hey, if it works for you then all power to you...but I personally think it would make you seem like a narcissist/self-centered.
