You replay the conversation at 2 a.m. She texted back fast yesterday. Today, nothing. Was that smile friendly or flirty? What did the shoulder touch mean?
Every hour you spend decoding her signals drains your confidence and hands her the controls. Women can sense that insecurity from across the room — and it repels them.
One of the "22 Rules" kills the obsession on the spot: assume she likes you, and act accordingly. Sounds too simple. Works anyway.
Her interest tends to rise to meet your expectations. Psychologists call it a self-fulfilling prophecy.

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.

..im confused?
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.
Even more interesting as he is perhaps the ONLY "m"an I have heard write in a message board the following:Rollo Tomassi said:Interesting since you happen to share the same IP number as her.
A clear indication that he is either gay...or a woman."the last thing they want to do is AGREE with a women. even when her post at the time is insightful, thought provoking, eye opening, or sometimes enjoyably debatable."

Whew... I was worried that it was way too far overhead for anyone to catch. Thanks buddy!KarmaSutra said:Oh man, 'Cisco you killed it!
Yikes and gadzookes.
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.
Latinoman said:Really? All you have to do is open TWO windows and sign in using both IDs (one per window). Then type in World two posts. Then copy - paste each posts in their respective Reply box.
And then reply within 60 seconds of each ID.
If it was a perfect match; meaning not just the first two series of 3 numbers, then RT should be your best friend. He should already have a PM in his box thanking him that you can still post, if that were the case.iqqi said:I think that means we are the same person!![]()
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.
Their IPs and their hosts are different in this thread, so I doubt they're the same person.Really? All you have to do is open TWO windows and sign in using both IDs (one per window).
Geeze...azanon said:I believe you're not DavenJuan. You don't strike me as being cautious enough to even remember to not start sentences with caps when posting as Daven. Also, I doubt you could even fake posts as emotionally absent as Daven's are with me just looking at his for a couple of minutes.
For the record, I've actually changed my mind and decide you really are female. I've seen that (female) "crazy" way too many times to not recognize it when I see it.
So what do you have against iVillage?
Exactly AND unless this is a gay community I don't see what your problem is with a little female company, fellas.DavenJuan said:there are posters who dislike her and other female posters simply because of gender alone, and not substance.
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.
