Well there ya go!
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 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.

Sent.. that was beautiful.. why can't I think of these things.ThunderMaverick said:"What a shame. Yeah I kinda liked her. She was really nice to me."
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.
She sucks.. we have been out 3 times and she still won't see me one on one. I have kissed her, but it's getting old. I have the NEXT finger itching.loveequation said:wow, read through all the thread and is very funny and interesting.
So if she is asking that if you like her, don't tell her anything, just respond with :
Hey come over my place, or let's go do something, distract her from the main point, and also keep her wondering. By what I'm seeing here, and the outcome of the last days, you don't ask her their friend's # that's so bad, hahhaa but that's ok just don't ever mention it again, if she insists just tell her it was a joke or something.
Yeah, I'm not in your situation so maybe I would have handled it a bit differently.My Name is Nobody said:She sucks.. we have been out 3 times and she still won't see me one on one. I have kissed her, but it's getting old. I have the NEXT finger itching.
I went with Thunders reply.... let's see what happens.

I just didn't care. I pulled it out of my ass. hahaha
I don't know if I should be apologizing or not. :crackup:

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.
What was a bad decision? To tell this girl to F off.. nah, it was a great decision.
yeah in that case good decisionI forgot to mention she texted me @ 3 oclock in morning Saturday, telling me she just "arrived home" from a "friends" house.
Now tell me I am wrong for telling her to f--- off.
I had texted her earlier in the evening to see if she had plans.loveequation said:yeah in that case good decision
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.
