"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.
I'm 25, so is it ok to date 19 year old girl?

Dude as long as she's 18 and you don't look like you don't belong with her then your fine. I plan to be dating the 18-22 year old girls for a long time. Or until I'm out of college.
BTW I look like I'm 23 or something so I blend in easily with the younger crowd.
There's some people that probably have a problem with it (the 18 and 19 year olds you steal her from), but I say f*ck 'em. Nothin' like having a young mind you can mold how you see fit

"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"
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.

"She's Out of Your League"
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.

And rightly so. At your age you should be fvckin girls up to around 40, if they're still hot. Your gonna learn alot of stuff you can use on 18 year olds once your 30.jesusrules said:

If the maturity level between you guys is relatively similar, you're both happy and you like the potential that you guys have then what's stopping you?

If not, flip 'er over and play in the mud. :crackup:
"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.

Why in the world are you asking people on a message board whether you should date someone you have interest in...? No my man. Do you want her? Is she good enough for you? That should answer your question.
Although, after having gone through that mess, I know I won't personally date a girl that young again most likely. Even the ones who seem well adjusted or mature for their age are too much hassle for my taste. There's a lot that girls learn between 20 and 25 that I want a girl to have dealt with before I get to them. But if it floats your goat, give it a shot.
If its grass on the in-field play ball...

my girlfriend's best female friend is 21 and she is dating a 33 year old man.

"I just moved here from Florida."
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.
