You replay the conversation at 2 a.m. She texted back fast yesterday. Today, nothing. Was that smile friendly or flirty? What did the shoulder touch mean?
Every hour you spend decoding her signals drains your confidence and hands her the controls. Women can sense that insecurity from across the room — and it repels them.
One of the "22 Rules" kills the obsession on the spot: assume she likes you, and act accordingly. Sounds too simple. Works anyway.
Her interest tends to rise to meet your expectations. Psychologists call it a self-fulfilling prophecy.
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.
Well, considering that you're Viper...MrConfidence said:So, dude, I haven't even had a girlfriend yet, and I'm also 16. You should consider yourself lucky.
You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.
Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.
She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.
Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.
I could talk to any woman I wasn't attracted to. Charming, funny, relaxed. Then a gorgeous woman looked my way and I'd become a sweating, babbling mess.
The fix took me years to find and ten minutes to learn. Nervousness and excitement are the same physical state — pounding heart, adrenaline, flushed face. Your brain just picks the label. And you can pick a better one.
Rule 16 shows you how. You feel the nerves, relabel them as excitement, and let that energy pour out as enthusiasm. Women notice the guy radiating it. They always do.
Your point is? Girls would lucky to get a date with a guy like me. Talented, and good looking all in one package. Now if only I was confident enough about those things to approach them. Still, I'm missing the bad thing about being Viper.Nobody said:Well, considering that you're Viper...
Anyway dude, she was bow wow. I always seem to attract the ugly ones, dude. I'm even looking at Sophomore girls, and considering it, even though as a Junior I always thought that was desperation.
One step ahead of you buddy, I already do band.Bvbidd said:lol mr.con
get some friends and try through your friends friends or something that has always worked.
Get a bit of a social life.

It's good to have confidence man, but the confidence must have meaning, i want to say the cool guys never say they are cool because they ... just know itWesCottII said::crackup: :crackup: :crackup: :crackup: :crackup: :crackup: :crackup:
Hahaha. Funniest thing I heard all day. Maybe it's something to do with the fact you're always on here moaning?
Nobody said:Only had 1 girlfriend, and I was set up with her. Am I normal?
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.
