"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.

I wish I was in college again..how to?

"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.

I would recomend not living in the past. Your not in college anymore so why pretend like you are? Learn from your mistakes and move on with your life and make every day the best it can be.

Well....alot of colleges have night classes for "enrichment". You know, wine tasting, how to do your taxes, desktop publishing and the like. This will get you back on campus. Can you take it from there?;)

Look at this as an opportunity! Why not go back to college for a masters? This justifies being older and gets their respect right away. Then, all you have to do is get involved. Everyone in college is open to something new when the semester begins. Women/girls are no exception.

You can use your age to a great advantage. Girls will come to you for advice and then you can turn the game around on them by telling them that a counselor is available through student health services, free of charge. You can assist them with distraction from the problem, but you don't ever try to solve their problems.

Oh, wait! Read that again! Yes. It's true! They DO have problems at that age. Lots of dramatics going on. You sure you want to see a college girl?
 

"She Laughed All Night. Then She Ghosted You. Here's Why."

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.

Out of curiosity, is there a specific reason for your interest in college other than recapturing the past? Like Vincent said, you're not in college anymore. Yeah, you can re-enroll but doing it just to meet women is a bit lame.

If you truly want to better yourself, go for it. Then you can capitalize on your current student status. It will be difficult to understand and appreciate where you are right now if you spend your efforts on trying to capture a moment that has already come and gone.

Just enroll in some classes! I knew plenty of older guys who did that and got plenty of action. Everyone knew why they were there, and ... well... do I need to spell it out?

Go to grad school. You are no longer their peers, so forget about trying to pretend that you are. First, if you go to frat parties and try to act like a drunk 18 year old you will look like an idiot. However, it is to your advantage that you are no longer in their peer group. Many of these women want to date a slightly older, more sophisticated and worldly gentleman such as yourself rather than those immature drunk frat boys.
You are an intelligent grad student who is a calibere above a frat boy, play it up to the max. Also, many times if you are in a graduate program, you are in an instructional position. True, you do not want to be their therapist, but if you are tutoring them or teaching them in some way, many women develop a very powerful attraction to someone in this position without you even trying.
Don't just get a graduate degree to meet women, but in most cases a graduate degree will help you out in your career anyway, so you are killing two birds with one stone here.
 

"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.

I'm pretty sure you have to enroll, pay tuition, buy books and attend classes. Oh yeah, you have to drink a lot of beer.

Unless they've changed things lately...

Get a job!!!

Seriously, colleges need everything from groundskeepers to computer nerds, not to mention accountants and doctors.
