or am I screwed
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.
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.
I know a guy who got through life with women paying him to get by. Street smart as fvck. They do leave once they realise what's happening, but he always seems to find another one. :crackup: That's what millions of women do to men and no one bats an eyelid.VikingKing said:If you are smart about it ( I mean smart subjectively in this context).
I promise you if your game is on really good, you can be a drug addicted, piece of sh!t, and you can get a good woman to not only slob your nob, but pay you rent.
Forget the cash, the cars, and the chiseled jawlines. Female desire operates on a completely different frequency. Primal. Subconscious. Triggers that bypass her logic and hit her on a gut level. Most guys are totally blind to them.
I know because I was one of them. The overthinking. The paralysis. The silent drive home kicking yourself for freezing up. Watching average guys walk away with the girl while you stood there stuck in your own head.
Then I decoded the psychology behind what actually makes women tick. 22 hard rules. Subtle behavioral shifts that rewired my entire reality. The anxiety evaporated. Women started leaning in. Investing. Chasing.
Pretty much this. But remember girls like that get bored just as fast and find a new guy to obsess over. BPD girls are like that too, keep that in mind.Die Hard said:It's not typical...unless you are very high value or she has very low self esteem.
That's what I've been thinking, but I'm pretty high value for a black guy.GS750 said:Pretty much this. But remember girls like that get bored just as fast and find a new guy to obsess over. BPD girls are like that too, keep that in mind.
lol. What does that mean??!Dhoulmagus said:That's what I've been thinking, but I'm pretty high value for a black guy.
That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?
She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."
She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.
I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.
Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.
THIS X1000000Meisterman said:It's not necessarily uncommon in my experience. HOWEVER, I find the more obsessed about you they are to begin with, and the faster they pursue it, the more likely they are to become UNINTERESTED just as quickly, and also more likely to fall into the "BPD" category. But they won't leave you until they know they have you. And then once you give them the validation that you like them back as much as they like you, they will drop you.
Basically, the faster the train rides the tracks, the quicker the whole thing will eventually derail.
Sometimes women have immediate high levels of attraction for you. Understand that this is NOT something she can control. Heck, no one can really control attraction, it's either there or it's not.Dhoulmagus said:What do I do
Ya I made this mistake with the last girl after she asked to be exclusive. I felt like I had to act different because. Also, we have had sex too.RangerMIke said:Sometimes women have immediate high levels of attraction for you. Understand that this is NOT something she can control.

When they start like this the truth of the matter is it can only go down. Just do not expect this to last. As she gets to know you better, this will drop. You should not expect this to last unless you continue to deliver what she needs.
All you can do is enjoy it while it lasts and continue to display male strength qualities and don't lose your center. Remember she is attracted to you because of how you are NOW, when you get into relationships she will attempt to change you.... DON'T let her. Women are emotional and she might FEEL you need to change, but deep down inside she is attracted to you the way you are.
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.
