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.
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.
And you sought it out out of CURIOUSITY, so what does that say about you?Unprez said:Holy **** from the title I thought that the OP was a fag...god change the friggin thread title

You can skip the expensive cars, the fancy clothes, and the endless gym selfies. Completely unnecessary.
I used to freeze the second a beautiful woman looked my way. Frustrated. Awkward. Watching other guys walk away with the girl while I stood there tongue-tied.
Then I discovered 22 simple rules that rewired my entire dating life. The anxiety vanished. Conversations flowed effortlessly. Women started chasing me for a change.
These rules trigger a woman's subconscious attraction switches. And you can start using them tonight.
ok relax guys it was a joke, and wht the hell is post flopping? I dont think anyone here would read this thread hoping that its a gay adTheFlyOne said:So you checked this thread out to see what kind of guys he was seeing to see if you fit the build .
Yeah, I see how well it's workingDon't care about any anti-txt or aim comments. I use all options and they all have their uses. It's how you use things.
Yeah, that's why you're posting about her instead of nexting her.she never just comes out and says what that activity is like most people (like I did when I don't give it a second thought and just said nope I got softball -- oh, look, her mystery is actually making me LOSE interest)
You don't have to be "squeezed in" to fit her schedule. Pick a day and see if she makes herself fit into yours. If not, say, "next time, maybe" then wait some days, pick another day and see if she makes herself available or not for the next date you suggest.I'm supposed to tell her today where/time we're gonna meet. Maybe i'll just tell her I don't want to be rushed and we can do it another day and she'll get the hint... or think i'm difficult and give up .
She's a free agent, as are you. Same day or spaced apart by a day, how does it really matter, you know?There's nothing wrong with seeing other guys, but on the same day?
You made your case like a lawyer. Stable job. Good guy. Ready for something real. All true. All irrelevant.
She weighed your points, nodded along, felt nothing — then fell hard for some tattooed bartender with a motorcycle and a gambling problem.
Logic is where attraction goes to die. The "22 Rules" work a level deeper, on the subconscious switches that decide within minutes whether you register as a MAN or as part of the furniture.
Stop presenting evidence. Start flipping switches.
You're not being weird at all. This is the attitude of a man of value. Your time is valuable, and you dont want to be squeezed inbetween activities because that not only conveys you are willing to accomodate HER schedule first but it also tips the frame in her favor, albeit subtly.mrRuckus said:Am I just being too weird about this? There's nothing wrong with seeing other guys, but on the same day? I don't want girls or this one in particular enough at this moment to want to deal with it. Even if this becomes something consistent I wouldn't want to continually be squeezed in with her always running somewhere.
No, you just recognize that you aren't a priority to her so the likelihood of getting down her pants without a long, drawn out effort is slim at best. I have had a few women like this in the recent past and no good ever came of the interaction. It shows that there isn't enough interest. And I'm not the kind of person who says "give up" if you can't make her cream her panties after 5 minutes, but if you are playing phone and text tag like that and she's shooting down offers you have already missed your prime opportunity to get her interest level high enough. Now it's an uphill battle because she doesn't SEE your value, and until you get together you have no way of demonstrating it.mrRuckus said:I'm probably oversensitive but at this point I don't care enough so i'm considering dropping the whole thing. I don't want to be squeeeeezed into a schedule.
I say you pick a time and a place that is convenient for you, tell her to be there, and if it is anything other than an enthusiastic "YES", you forget about her and find a chick who has time for you.She's showing interest, but not enough for my tastes. I'm supposed to tell her today where/time we're gonna meet. Maybe i'll just tell her i don't want to be rushed and we can do it another day and she'll get the hint... or think i'm difficult and give up.
Don't listen to that static. It's 2009, not 1959.(Don't care about any anti-txt or aim comments. I use all options and they all have their uses. It's how you use things.)

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.
