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.
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.
yes sadly I live with one I get all the hair twirling, hair flicking etc...and I do see this girl loves attention and is quite fond of drama, I wouldn't have a relationship with this girl as she is hard work and HM but I am still drawn to her and strangely attracted to her....I have someone else I am courting at the moment and believe me I have had some interesting and forward comments about this one from the room mate.Originally posted by JackPrescott
Very interesting and true. BUT, there are the women who like to "flirt for flirting's sake" and have no real sexual interest in those men they choose to flirt with. In this case, I believe they flirt for the sakes of their own egos. They love it when they get male attention, "AKA Attention (w)hores" BUT if the male takes it too far, as he is genetically programmed to, they get disgusted, and ask him to back off. They want to do the little mating rituals, without actually wanting to mate. As a male, this makes as much sense to me, as sitting on a toilet without needing to relieve one's self. It is a big waste of time, energy and effort for both parties. As a male, I will only SPECIFICALLY flirt with a female I wish to copuate with. Imagine flirting with unattractive females you had no interest in?
A girl playing with her hair is not a signal. I don't understand why anybody ever thought it was. It's just something they all do. All girls play with their hair, all guys scratch themselves.Originally posted by Jaun_Don

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.
