"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"
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'm getting caught in that *texting* game.

"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."
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.

I guarantee you, Tick. You can give chicks a lot more interaction with you than you think. I can tell right away that you are a wonderful person. You seem scared, but also like a really honest and true person. I know that chicks already dig you for who you are. If you insist on feeding them crumbs (as I know many on this board counsel you), I sure hope they're graham cracker crumbs with chocolate bits. That's not a metaphor, it's just good food.

It seems to me that if you had a profound feeling of being wonderful, you would know that the more you give them of your wonderfulness the more they will love you for it. It is only when people don't know to the core that they are wonderful that they feel afraid to give themselves in anything larger than specks.

I don't question myself. I know how this sh1t works, and you won't convince me otherwise. My sh1t is dead on, and if you disagree, you need to start doing some research. I read your crap, and I keep thinking your woman. It's all feminized.

Bingo. Dont cut em off completley but make sure they initiate the transactions.tick37 said:Text and reply whenever you want, and not when you think she wants you to. Not being too available is always the key.
You are a busy man and your time isn't to be wasted. After all you have many other girls who are "calling" and you have still to get back to them.
Put this girl in her place and stop thinking about it so much.
Increase your numbers and stop worrying so much.
"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.

lol, oh ok. Do you think if all my ideas were super-manly like yours, I would have TWO women texting me right now?! Wow, that'd be really great!tick37 said:I don't question myself.

Once you get quick at thinking of witty texts to send (but not sending them straight away!), it'll also improve your real life game.
