"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."

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.

I really, really dislike having to put so much thought and effort into something as shallow and dull as texting.
I view it as laying the groundwork for sex to happen on the first date. If you're not a Chad or a high value man its gonna take you a few dates in person most likely to reach the level where shes interested in having you inside her. I do agree tho, to each his own approach.
 

"I just moved here from Florida."

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.

See I've thought about all this as well as BackinTheGame's approach and realized that there is no one-size fits all approach, every guy is different and every girl is different and your strategy should be curated to each girl. This **** is way too much work. I really, really dislike having to put so much thought and effort into something as shallow and dull as texting.
But that is the whole point. It doesn't need to be shallow and dull. If it is you are doing it wrong and more importantly doing it for the wrong reasons.

I genuinely am interested in finding out things about them in a curious manner and I think it comes across as such which is why it works so well for me. Some things can't be faked.

I started using OLD again for the past few weeks and almost every situation ends like this; flakes, ghosting, or just completely dies (usually I ghost them out of lack of conversational interest).

I'll upload 2 screenshots of recent text threads I have, with the hopes someone can make sense of them. I'd show more, but I'm lazy.

In the first example, I had been talking with her for a couple weeks and we talked on the phone as well. She flaked the first time, seemed like a legit excuse so I gave her another shot, these were the last texts we sent.

Second case...I don't even know what to make of it, it was all in the span of 1 day.
Well the problem is nobody dates anymore, everybody flakes. The pretty boys or "high value" guys flake on the majority of women and women as a whole flake on the majority of guys.

When I was on the circus show called dating apps (Hinge, Bumble, Tinder) I always stacked 3 dates minimum at the same time. I NEVER had long winded text messages about anything but setting up the date. If they didn't show up, oh well.

Text game is an absolute waste of time. Majority of one's success on these apps has to do with their pictures/face.
I text the girls some of the most cringiest lines and still get the number/date. Sometimes, I just invite them straight over.

There are far better things you can do with your time then learn how to impress some tinder th0t.
 

“The 22 Psychological Triggers That Make Women Chase You… Starting Tonight”

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.

Let's just put it this way: Use text to set up a date and time to meet. That is it!

A couple of weeks is infinity when it comes to "text game", even a few days is too long. You get the number, you briefly continue the previous convo you had prior to text, and then you make the plans by taking the initiative and being affirmative. Do not even ask "Do you want to" or "are you down", don't give her a chance to reject you. Instead, invite her to your life. Meaning, I'm going to hit up this bar, or I'm going snowboarding, etc, etc. Let me know if you want to join me. That is it.

Hope it helps.

I think it depends on the chick and the circumstances. There's no right or wrong answer. You have to be able to work out what works for each one. And work it out quickly. But then you have others that can't take a joke or anything. Next.

I love it when they match with me, shoot me a message only for me to hop on have a look and they have already disappeared! Why match with me in the first place ladies?
 

"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"

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.
