What are some IOIs that girls give off, when you not talking to the girl, or when youve never talked to the girl before? For example how could you tell a girl is interested if shes sitting or standing away from you?
Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.
You've been "getting ready" for two years.
She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.
Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.
Most guys accidentally kill attraction before they even speak. They assume they need a bigger bank account, a better physique, or smoother lines. They miss the point.
Female desire operates on a specific set of psychological triggers. Break them, and you're invisible. Follow them, and you become magnetic.
I learned this the hard way. Years of freezing up. Getting friend-zoned. Watching other guys walk away with the girl I wanted. Then I discovered a set of 22 simple rules that rewired my entire approach.
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.
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.

It is in the way a woman looks at you. It’s not so much about that she scans you or that her eyes dilate as is often mentioned. It is in the way that she looks at you and her eyes are just part of it. It is hard to explain exactly and you’ll just have to figure it out with experience.HandyAndy said:What are some IOIs that girls give off, when you not talking to the girl, or when youve never talked to the girl before?

She keeps the conversation going. i.e. no one worded-responses, and if she does, she asks you a question or anything that's on her mind to keep the convo going. She might be smiling also.HandyAndy said:What are some IOIs that girls give off, when you not talking to the girl
That's easy...she looks at you. See it from the corner of your eye. If you're sitting and talking to somebody, and she's right there sitting also, she will look at you in the face and pay attention to what you're saying, even if you're not talking directly to her.or when youve never talked to the girl before?

Really? I always just kind of expected that.smooth guy said:She keeps the conversation going. i.e. no one worded-responses, and if she does, she asks you a question or anything that's on her mind to keep the convo going. She might be smiling also.
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.
This kinda got me thinking. Can I get some feedback on this?tsmith2334 said:Really? I always just kind of expected that.
When I'm out with a girl, like eating at a restaurant, she almost always seems to want to keep the conversation going, give detailed answers, ask questions, etc.
I always just figured it was just them being courteous and not wanting a boring conversation. Is it really a sign of interest?
You sound older than me (since you've mentioned a date at a restaurant), so I can't tell based on experience I had with an older girl, because I haven't. I was referring to teen girls since HandyAndy is nearly my age.tsmith2334 said:Really? I always just kind of expected that.

Great response. Hopefully what you're saying is true, it sounds on the money.smooth guy said:You sound older than me (since you've mentioned a date at a restaurant), so I can't tell based on experience I had with an older girl, because I haven't.

What you're saying about them being courteous and not wanting any awkward silences at the date has a point, but I think there's a difference on the body language and the tone of her voice. I mean, you can tell if somebody is having a conversation with you just to avoid any silences or because they WANT TO. If she asks you questions about yourself and seems to be interested in your responses, I'd say that's a sign. If it's a good conversation and not a forced one, that's also a good sign.
But if she's already on a date with you at a restaurant, I think the interest is already there![]()
