"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"

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.

Once again I turn to So Suave for some opinions. Once again, just cliff notes.

1. Interested in Girl A.
2. Girl B is interested in me for some time.
3. Girl A isn't friends with Girl B, but I am pretty sure she knows of her.
4. I like Girl A, but don't wanna mess it up by humping around.
5. What now?

Girl A: Taken, but is slowly moving towards breaking up BF. I am not playing a part in that crap, nor do I want to be a captain save a hoe.

Girl B: Single.
 

"I just moved here from Florida."

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.

F*** Girl B while you wait that Girl A gets jealous, and starts going all over you.

Do you like Girl B? If you do, then give her a chance. Don't sit around waiting until Girl A is available.

Does Girl A even like you "that way"?

oh oh!! let me help on this one. i already had something like this and f-d it up. it depends on the foundation you've laid with girl A. if she likes you and you've made it clear that you've got some interest in her, then the sh!t'll hit the fan if you go after B. trust me.

assuming you've got close to the same interest in both girls.
 

"Why Women Dump the Guys Who Try the Hardest"

You paid for dinner. You drove. You said "whatever you want is fine" every single time. All the effort, no expectations.

And she left anyway — probably for a guy who makes her pick up the pizza.

Painful. Also predictable. Her mind quietly concludes that anything requiring zero effort from her is worth exactly zero. You became a free sample, and free samples get taken for granted.

The 22 Rules flip the dynamic. Small shifts that get her investing effort, money, and time in you — until SHE'S the one afraid of losing YOU.

Girl A: Yes. And I made it clear to her that I am interested in her and she reciprocated.

Girl B: She just wants to hump like rabbits.

Well, she has no say until she ends it with her boyfriend and officially gets with you.

That should be done soon. What is the wait for? If it is happening soon, just wait it out.

If Girl B wants to just bang, why should anybody else know?

alright i think you could make a case for going either way here. if you go after girl b solely for sex you always have the arguement of "sorry girl a but you were in a relationship. i don't sit around and wait for people. i do what i want. " which will earn you respect as well as make you more of a prize. the main problem i see with going after a only is that you'll be more of a rebound kinda guy. unless you give her a while to get over it. so pro's and con's for each.

I had a situation like this.

What I did: Focused completely on Girl A. I was still friendly and courteous to Girl B, just not interested.

What ended up happening was...

Girl A breaks up with her boyfriend, dates me for a while then becomes impossible to deal with before things ever got the chance to really escalate.

Girl B moves on, and I'm currently trying to rekindle things without much success. Now kicking myself over what I should have done in hindsight and wondering if I made a mistake.
 

"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.

Being discrete would be nice. However I am in the younger age bracket, so I think more girls are more inclined to talk.

Not that I care as to whatever anyone thinks. In fact, I think Girl A can be a bit of an attention ***** at times.

Which is why I'll make her do all the work. I'll occasionally give her the random positive reinforcement for whatever efforts she puts in to keep me around.

I guess what I should take from this post is to just grab life by the nuts and get my FREAK ON SON!

I digress, but why should I wait around for her right?

Girl B: Single.
Even from this Cliff Notes version isn't the answer redily apparent?

It is and it isn't. Hey sometimes you need to hear it from someone else to begin to believe it....

So your advice?
 

"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"

Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.

You've been "getting ready" for two years.

She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.

Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.

Why is Girl A moving SLOWLY towards breaking up with bf?

This should tell you what to do. You move FASTLY into the sack with Girl B.

Duly noted. Headed there as we speak.

As for WHY Girl A is moving slowly...cliff notes: Lives with boyfriend, probably has some financial issues moving out, they are tied together with some financial issues.

Just assumptions, tis all.

LoL.

Then you know what to do. Go hunt down your own dinner, not another man's. Once that bird is free, and once you have fun with Girl B, then we can discuss the situation.

Tell Girl A to leave her house at 6:45 pm and travel at 50 km/h to meet you
Tell Girl B to leave her house at 7:05 pm and travel at 65 km/h to meet you
That way when you sleep with them, they will never cross paths.

Why are we going after a girl with a bf anyway? Do you want him to beat the crap out of you?

Yea man. Take everyone at face value. Don't get up in the moment with Girl A. Especially if Girl B is a catch...
 

"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.
