I'll just leave this here
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.
Dinner ran three hours. She laughed at everything. You walked her to her car thinking this one's locked in.
Then: nothing. Two texts. No reply. What happened?
You did what most men do on a great date. You filled every silence, answered every question, and left her with nothing to wonder about. No mystery. Nothing to sit with when she got home.
Rule 3 of the "22 Rules" changes the ending: tell her a little, hold back the rest, and let her imagination do the chasing. The ghosting stops too.
thispinhas said:Interesting; I always wondered about the connection between masturbation and your social life. Many believe that decreasing and eventually stopping masturbation could beneficial to many aspects of ones life, yet others say to "never go out with a loaded gun".
I think I will try to avoid doing it for a while, its been something I wanted to do for a while, and now seems like a good time.
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.
this is going to be a bit tough for me, cause I sometimes choke the chicken so I can fall asleep at night when oneitis hits me....yes its that bad, the last time I went for 20 days without doing it was 6 years ago when I was 14, and that was for religious purposesSwift Shadow said:I've known that it works for quite a while now, if you want more evidence go read the massive thread in the archive about it.
This link is posted in there also, i'm currently on an abstinence streak right now, coming up for day 7
