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.
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.
Here we go again...are you still sore because I responded to your "I'm hot" post with "I'm hotter"? Apparently you are under the impression that you can only be sarcastic and have a sense of humor if you're sporting a penis. Try again...Originally posted by Don_Joffe
Why on earth are you making "Ignore Wyldfire" the underlying meaning behind that is "I NEED YOU WYLDFIRE" - whats your AFC problem? By making thread's with her name you are automatically egoboosting her, she is an attetion *****.
Where did I ask for an apology? And goddamn it, stop acting like a f*cking victim...YOU are the one who started the argument in the first place. If you want it to end all you have to do is simply shut up. It's really quite simple.Originally posted by rgeere
I don't see a reason to appologize for something I didn't start, and I don't understand why there is such a degree of personalization over a matter of simple female physiology and outlook. If you want to take this personal, then it is none of my concern and I have no reason to apologize for some personal problem that I had no thought or purpose of incurring.
I suppose you could continue your insults, but I never intended to disrespect you; in fact I have a little less respect for you now the way I have been treated. But that is no reason for me to treat you the same way.
She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.
Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.
The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.
I think you are taking this forum too seriously.Originally posted by Wyldfire
I worked TOO hard to become a respected member of this forum
Not to mention respect can be lost as quickly as it is gained ...Originally posted by diplomatic_lie

Its an INTERNET FORUM. At the flick of a switch it could be shut down. At the tap of a button it could erase itself in a second.
She calls you when her car breaks down. When she needs help moving. When some guy she's actually dating treats her badly.
You're the listener. The reliable one. The guy who would treat her so much better, if she'd just open her eyes.
She won't. You trained her to see you as the low-effort option — the friend who requires zero risk and zero investment. Every favor dug the hole deeper.
The "22 Rules" break the pattern. You'll stop auditioning for a role she already cast and become the man she chases instead. It starts with Rule 1.
Biotch, please...the only thing you "beat" is your meat.Originally posted by Don_Joffe
Wyldfire: You are a slut. You come onto these forums to try "beat" people. Ive beaten you, why? I own you.
Sart, we HAVE disagreed before...and we didn't end up going back and forth. In fact, with most people it never becomes a back and forth. The only time it happens is when someone decides to attack ME instead of the post I made. I've always been very consistent regarding these little arguments. As long as a person doesn't attack me personally I am polite, tactful and very easy to get along with. However, if they choose to make personal attacks, I WILL let them have it with both barrels.Originally posted by Sart
My "point" is that whenever Wyldfire states a position, someone attacks that position, she then defends it and.......on we go. The thread becomes and obsessive attack/counter attack that is pointless. Its almost as pointless as watching Don Joffe and Auquitas argue who has the bigger jolly roger.
A DJ would either agree or disagree with a position, but wouldn't spend effort trying to bother to undermine a woman on this site.
I know I am not that popular on this site because I call them as I see them, but really....Re Read this whole thread and see who you think is at fault. If Wyldfire has an opinion that I dont agree with, I may say something, or I may ignore it, but why start a revolving debate over it?
That would be like me attacking some 22 year old, obviously immature and nerdy little fella just because he attacked me with all the finesse and wit of say, Marcus? hahahaha. Sorry, couldn't help it.
Wyldfire WILL NOT let an argument go, she just wont do it. So, my point is, why derail a briloiant thread with tit for tat, when you could just stay relevant to that thread?
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.
