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 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.

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.

Well, help me out then. How about "Waiting for you to stop by and talk to me"sexxyback said:'letting my mind rest a bit' won't work. sounds like you have psych problems or something.

4) Pretend like you're fumbling through your pcokets and say something like "I'm trying to remember where I put my _____" (i.e. mp3 player, ID, usb key/memory stick, camera, etc)
How about one of those for deflecting that question?
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.
For the same token, Extroverts have to work harder when dealing with their partner in a one-on-one situation as every intimate relationship must have.Babnik said:This is perfect what you said. Introverts have to WORK at social events, while extroverts ENJOY social events and get energy boost from them. Introverts use up their powers during social events.
You don't have to explain anything about your personallity.Babnik said:Thats very wrong attitude because sometimes they try to start a conversation!!!!
Sometimes they give me a tone of "Why aren't you with the rest? Retarded?" and then I ignore them but sometimes they use it to get close to me.
Explaining what introvert means is just boring and not a good opening conversations.
I can't think of anything to say besides "I just like to chill by myself sometimes"
Bad approach. Sending negativity is not a good approach.TillTheEndOfTime said:1) I'm tired

Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.
She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.
Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.
So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.
The words come later. The impression comes first.
If this situation is a constant problem, I don't think introversion is even the real issue here. It is either one of two things: your friends are "too social" or you're a little anti-social at times. Personally, I am laid back, but still social. So if my friends were party animals, there would be a clash because I just can't be as enthusiastic as a party animal, it is not in me to do it.Babnik said:bump!
Still concerned about the reply to "Why are you alone? Why are you sad?"
What do I tell my FRIENDS? I would be in a bar and all of a sudden "Dude, are you OK man? You don't look like you are having a good time!" and I am!

Something doesn't seem right if your friends have to ask you that question so much. Can you give more details/examples?

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.
