What are some things YOU say to break past this BS?
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.
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.
You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.
For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.
Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.
The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.
Listen to this Girl guys, she's givin you gold.2_intense2 said:the "I have a bf" line usually means: she has a BF, or she isn't interested in you..
but if you want to try your luck, you could say:
" an hour with me, and I could change that"
" yea, well I don't see him around..so..."
When a woman says it, guys hear a confession. A heads-up. A scheduling conflict.
Here's the translation: I don't feel anything. Right now. With you.
Watch what happens when a man triggers actual attraction. The busy career, the recent breakup, the "not in a place to date" — all of it evaporates instantly. The same woman who was guarding her freedom is suddenly free every night.
The "22 Rules" explain why. When the right switches flip, her timeline rearranges itself around you.
If she mentions her BF, she's not interested, PERIOD.
"Seeing someone" isn't as strong. It implies there is/are someone she's casually dating but isn't really INTO. In this case I continue the push.
Her: "Well, I'm kinda seeing someone..."
Me: "Yeah, well so am I. What's your number?"

Bingo! While I dig a lot of these other comebacks, this is the best to use. It's funny that girls always assume they're being hit on, so when they say "I have a bf" you're like "....?? And he's a lucky guy. Do you want a medal? So anyway..." because you're just bein social and having a convo with her. Tell her not to flatter herself lol.Vypros said:How about:
Her: I have a boyfriend
You: Well, your boyfriend is a lucky man. Anyways, blah blah blah
You're a SOCIAL person. You talk to EVERYONE and a little thing like her having a boyfriend doesn't phase you in the least.
The key is not to get hung up on it. If you you can reply back with something IMMEDIATELY and be TOTALLY unphased by her remark and can STILL hold a conversation with her, you are in essence planting a SEED with her.
Forget about getting her number--she probably won't give it to you anyway. Just plant the seed, and walk away after conversing normally with her for a little while.
