Uncharted
Master Don Juan
This whole experience made me feel WAYYY better about any other time I've gotten LJBF'd.
You replay the conversation at 2 a.m. She texted back fast yesterday. Today, nothing. Was that smile friendly or flirty? What did the shoulder touch mean?
Every hour you spend decoding her signals drains your confidence and hands her the controls. Women can sense that insecurity from across the room — and it repels them.
One of the "22 Rules" kills the obsession on the spot: assume she likes you, and act accordingly. Sounds too simple. Works anyway.
Her interest tends to rise to meet your expectations. Psychologists call it a self-fulfilling prophecy.
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.
Not saying you are wrong but, I could walk away and not answer the phone.LongLostFriend said:"I don't understand. She's serving it to you on a plate. Why not hit it a time or two? You could walk away any time."
No, he couldn't walk away at any time. "Crazy/stalker" trumps "hot and DTF" every time. Not worth the collateral damage.
I could talk to any woman I wasn't attracted to. Charming, funny, relaxed. Then a gorgeous woman looked my way and I'd become a sweating, babbling mess.
The fix took me years to find and ten minutes to learn. Nervousness and excitement are the same physical state — pounding heart, adrenaline, flushed face. Your brain just picks the label. And you can pick a better one.
Rule 16 shows you how. You feel the nerves, relabel them as excitement, and let that energy pour out as enthusiasm. Women notice the guy radiating it. They always do.
Actually no. She's not serving it to him on a plate, and she'll most likely NEVER sleep with him, she's just trying to use her sexuality to regain her validation. Once her ego is fed by him eating it up she'll drop him because shes proven to herself once and for all that she is hot.5string said:I don't understand. She's serving it to you on a plate.

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.
Well said. Even if she refuses to give it up, he can still walk. Why not give it a shot? Nothing to lose.AlexLefty said:First let me just say that this thread is ****ing epic! It makes me feel good inside when gender roles are reversed and girls have to deal with the ****.
Also, good ****ing job on replying to her texts, handled it like a pro![]()

The only way she would sleep with him is if she is VERY VERY VERY ****ing insecure, and she needs the sex, rather than the compliance, to feel she has regained her validity.
Social repercussions. If she's in the same social circle, or knows some of the same people he does, going after her could negatively impact him. Even though he has nothing to lose with HER, he has something to lose elsewhere. For ex: If he says '**** it', and then she rejects him, she now has the power to tell this to all her friends...she can tell everyone what a loser he is and how he just wants her for sex blah blah etc. etc. If they know the same people, this could directly hurt his chances with said girl.5string said:Well said.

Was slowly what?badboyjmm said:My oneitis was slowly when I started caller her homie and my best friend... those females are crazy.
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.
Slowly getting mad, saying things like: " well you are putting too much emphasis on the fact that I am you friend"TillTheEndOfTime said:Was slowly what?
