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.
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.
That's a pretty good idea. It IS based on ads though, (nothing wrong with that), as they automatically come up above and besides the search results.n00bPimp said:Thanks for trying it out. Its still in its beginning phases so I'm still working on the design. It will always be ad and banner free tho.
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.
You know, you could package this sell it as an app, for a buck or so.n00bPimp said:Specially useful when out on the field. For example at a bar i found myself searching for "bar opener". Searching for that term in google just wont work.
Very true. You need an agent. That's where I come in. I have a cellphone, a bank account, and a desire to deposit your money in my bank account. Help me help you. Show me the money. You had me at hello.taiyuu_otoko said:You know, you could package this sell it as an app, for a buck or so.
You might make a lot of money.
Searchable field resource.
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.
I'm going to start putting paid banner ads and enter affiliate programs. I'm still working on making it look more professional, adding some content, and tweaking it.taiyuu_otoko said:You know, you could package this sell it as an app, for a buck or so.

Are you talking about the adsense ads or were the first 3 search results ads from pick up websites?Peaks&Valleys said:did a search, the first three results were ads....
moving on...
Great concept.....but get what I'm sayin?
Don't turn me off before you turn me on. (my thoughts)
Lots of potential here though, think you've hit on something....
That's how they make their squills. There's a way to build/buy your own search engine. Unfortunately anyway you do it is going to cost some money, but if done right....USER FRIENDLY, EASY, QUICK, THE RIGHT RESULTS....people will start coming back, and referring other people to it.n00bPimp said:Are you talking about the adsense ads or were the first 3 search results ads from pick up websites?
Unfortunately, i can not turn off adsense ads unless i pay google.
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.
