"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"
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.
Invited a chick to go see a movie; she didn't come

"She Laughed All Night. Then She Ghosted You. Here's Why."
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.

But don't they need to at least acknowledge you in order to see you in person. Seems like you are just giving them a way to ignore you.itishe said:
Here's how it went:
Me - "hey get my text about the movie"
Her -"No, but Jeana told me about it"
Me -"oh Unicel sucks mad wang, anywho get your ass up there"
Her - "Idk I might, borat sucked"
Me - "Suit yourself"

Was this another riveting text exchange?itishe said:
She never called back, but she did show up at the house to watch the movie with us. We all laid on a futon. She laid next to me and eventually I put my arm around her I kept stroking her ear and hair. After a while I took my other hand and grabbed her hand and put my hand over it. The thing is after about fifteen minutes or so she took her hand away. I didn't get a kiss close in because I just didn't feel right doing it in front of my friends.
While I'm pretty sure she's interested in the fact that she showed up (she would of been the 3rd wheel if I hadn't so there would of been no point; remember she also said she hated the movie), and let me cuddle next to her, etc. Just was a little thrown off by her taking her hand back.

Today she pulled some ****.
I called her about 11 AM today and she was out buying her prom dress in another town with a friend of hers. I had a very small conversation that which I admit could of been carried on, but I was heading to a bud's house. Anywho I tell her we should hang out tonight seeing I'm going out of town for a few days, she says she's gotta work and she says, "I'll call you or something after work". "Or something" is usually a sign they won't call.
Anywho I was going about my business, and hit the gym till about 7:45 (she gets off work at about 7 or so) and I noticed she hadn't called. I was going to invite her to play some pool so I say **** her and go play with a few buds. I get out to my car about 9 and I see she sent me a text.
Her: "Hey what's up"
Me: "nothing, just got done playing some pool"
then a few minutes later I get this:
"Oh. Well I just wanted to let you know that i can't do ne thing bcuz my mom and i got in a huge fight n she made me come home... sorry ;("
I replied, "Oh. well I get back sat. we should hang out after that sometime."
She hasn't replied to that.
--------------------
Sound like I got flaked on? I think she was being truthful but the fact she couldn't call and tell me is a bit suspicious. If so is there anything I can say that will establish the fact that I don't like being flaked on?
"You Can't Argue a Woman Into Liking You"
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.

Her IL doesnt sound high at all. It does seem that she's still leaving an opening to you and still somewhat interested, since she's still even talking to you still. If anything I say dont contact her for a week or 2. And when you do, do ask her out. Dont use the term 'should' or 'hang out' - it shows indecisiveness. set a time and pick a place/activity to do.itishe said:
Some girls will ignore your advances/lose interest if they believe you're not interested in them sexually/romantically - so do let it be known.

"How I Made Sure No Woman Ever Friend-Zoned Me Again"
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.
Haha
Yep this is the same chick I went to the movies with, and the same chick I cuddled with while watching the movie at a friend's house. Last night about an hour later I got a text saying to call her whenever I was done. So I did and I find out she sent that text right after her "fight with mom" one and it just came later. She was sleeping so we only talked for a few minutes. I told her to call me today and she did while I was taking a nap.
She left a message on myspace saying this:
"heyyy.
so i called you back and you didn't answer...soo...
you should call me sometime this weekend...k?"
I replied with this,
"Hey you ****, I was taking a nap then I heard my phone going nuts, was too lazy to go grab it. I found out I'm leaving tomorrow reeallly early and not tonight but gotta work tonight
. Anywho, I should be back saturday sometime. We'll have to do something this weekend, we should see if you can kick my ass in pool."
------------------------
I was going to call her back but decided not to after getting that message and the fact she couldn't call me last night. She's very insecure and shy so I think she likes the guy showing alot of interest first, I.E. making the first few calls to her, blah blah.
She just replied with this:
"hey...
i suck at pool...puhhh.
i work on saturday till 530 or 7, not sure, but we can do sumthing after that if you want
ne wayz, i'll tty if you call me back or on sat or w/e...
<3
M "
I replied with:
"Haha sounds like you're afraid of the phone
. If I'm not too busy I'll call ya today but I got a ton of **** to do before I take off so I'll call you saturday for sure. BTW Pool it is

You don't say "anywho" to her do you? It is not a very masculine word - don't ask me why, it just isn't!!
This bugs me because I set up the date, not her. But one of these guys is also a boyfriend of one of her close friends so I don't think he'd be showing up to outmack me if he would of came.
Either way very interesting.
"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"
Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."
You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.
She's been waiting forty minutes.
Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.
