"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"

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.

I'll spare you the boring details that I typed up then deleted and cut to the point.

There's this girl that shows all the indicators of interest (laughs at my lame jokes, initiates hugs me whenever she sees me, pupils dialate when she's around me) but she seems to be a really busy girl. She always has a friend coming into town or her brother or xyz.

So she came to my buddy's party last night, and we hung out and talked for a few, I Isolated but she got bored because my game was lame, and I was gonna try to convince me to let me sleep at her house (I ended up sleeping at this other girl's house, but thats another story), but she said she was leaving for another party.

Anyways, i asked if she wanted to hang out with me next week, and she said "Sure, I'll call you next month" to which I replied "Honey, this isn't my first rodeo, I know when a girl says she'll call you in a month, that she'll never do it." then she says "Yeah, well, then maybe you should give me a call" and I said "We'll see" and then turned my back and let her leave.

Should I even bother? I guess I don't really have anything to lose if she plays games with me on the phone I'll just freeze her out again.
 

"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.

Dude, isn't next month like the day after tomorrow? :p But seriously, with a line like that why should you set your hopes high? Go out and meet some more women. Maybe she'll be lucky and will be free if and when she calls.

Nah man, I definately don't have my hopes up about this one, but I had a taste of one-itis for her for about three days until I snapped out of it, so i figure, it might be worth a long shot.

And man, there is no doubt that I'm gonna go out after other girls. Hell, I hooked up with one last night after that whole thing!

Sorry you are wasting your time with this fish. Next fish in the sea.
 

"Why Women Dump the Guys Who Try the Hardest"

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.

"she seems to be a really busy girl"

You = fell for her stupid tactics

Also, when you isolate a woman, do it with a specific goal in mind, otherwise set her free. You don't need gobs of conversation to get attraction, so if you isolate, it better be to lead her to some other experience.

Otherwise she WILL get bored.

Oh, unless you've got attraction, in which case you'll find that when you isolate her, she'll continually try to make you qualify yourself to her... it's okay to tell her a bit about yourself, but don't make it sound impressive, just state it as is.
