"Why Women Dump the Guys Who Try the Hardest"

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.

Is she blowing me off?

Had a first date with a girl last Thursday. I thought it went quite well, and she was flirting back and by the end of the evening she was becoming pretty touchy feely.

So I call her Saturday afternoon and suggest meeting up on Sunday. She agrees and says if the weather is nice we should go on a walk. Sunday comes and she cancels by text saying she cannot make it after all. No excuse.

I give her the benefit of the doubt and text her midweek asking when she was free this week. She texted back saying she was probably available on Sunday and would text me to let me know.

I see her on instant messenger the following night. I sign in and wait for her to say hello and when she does not I say hi. She says hi back but seems a bit distant and it feels like i am making all the conversation, and when i let the conversation die, she makes no effort to start it up.

I do not really like being in the position of waiting to hear from her. But i do not want to waste my time trying to arrange a date only for her to cancel again.

Should i next this girl, or wait to see if she does get in touch about the weekend, and if she doesn't next her?
 

"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.

Honestly what do you hope to accomplish by doing this? Can you explain to me how you think its going to increase her IL in you?

yeah, she's not interested bro. You've made all the appropriate observations-and now you need to make appropriate conclusion-she has no plans to see you and barely feels like talking to you, but doesnt have the guts to tell you. move on.

Well she flaked on you once already. I would bet money that she doesn't call you. Girls never seem to do that (unless they're ugs and have no other options). So if this girl is attractive then she won't call. I think her telling you she'll contact you is her way of shooting you down. Most girls don't want to make a scene so when they don't like a guy they'll just disappear for the most part. Just next her and don't contact her again.
 

"Nervous Around Beautiful Women? There's a Rule for That"

I could talk to any woman I wasn't attracted to. Charming, funny, relaxed. Then a gorgeous woman looked my way and I'd become a sweating, babbling mess.

The fix took me years to find and ten minutes to learn. Nervousness and excitement are the same physical state — pounding heart, adrenaline, flushed face. Your brain just picks the label. And you can pick a better one.

Rule 16 shows you how. You feel the nerves, relabel them as excitement, and let that energy pour out as enthusiasm. Women notice the guy radiating it. They always do.

1. IM sucks
2. Just cause she flaked once doesn't mean it's over

I always tell my wings, you don't know whats going on in a chicks life, and plus you gotta do solid game from the start to get her to meet off the phone. Have the abundance mentality, if she flakes or doesn't pick up just keep her in the rotation for the days when your going through all your #s.

A chick I tried speaking too for 2-3 weeks of no responses, randomly called me 2 days ago saying she was sick the whole time which is why she never responded. I even seen her walking on the street that same day and we chatted for a bit until she had to go back to class.

Same goes for a chick who I had a day2 with and since I didn't pull the first day I just gave up and almost purposely was trying to get her not to talk to me ever again, but she still talked to me, and now she's a female friend.

Studying the fact that all lies contain fragments
After a good date (with at least a kiss close) , you call and say you had a great time then the ball is in her call to show interest .. if she does not then its done... If you try to push her then its even more done..
