"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.

Was just at a pub with friends and we were approached by three women, one of my friends was laying the teasing on thick.

Wasn't answering any questions kept making up answers.

She seemed into it but at same time it felt like it was way too much and she walked off saying "you're too much."

Did he build interest or annoyance?
 

"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.

You can definitely tease and play around too much.

If a woman is tells you how crazy you are, how much of a "mess" you are, how you're too much, etc. more than once in a conversation you need to be a little less weird.

If they are laughing and continuing the conversation without calling attention to you (instead of your comment) you are doing fine.

Women, when out and about, can be pretty forgiving if you pick up on their cues.

It appeared like he was trying to get attraction over and over while at the same time she was trying to get some rapport.

She seemed into it and said he was funny but I'm curious if he blew it by constantly trying to have a funny/witty response.

Also she would jump around from him to me to two of my other friends. I teased subtly which got her wanting to "take it outside" and playfully strangled me.

When my friend teased she just kept trying to pry for real answers and only touching she did was lift his sleeve to look at his tattoo.

This is why I'm not fond of the PUA advice; "Never give a woman a straight answer". Then they usually suggest a C&F response. I mean maybe I could get behind that if it was "Only give a straight answer 20% of the time" or something like that. But never is a bit much.

Like Mike says, at some point you want to be able to have a normal conversation.
 

"She's Out of Your League"

You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.

Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.

She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.

Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.

Too much of ANY technique will become annoying and transparent.

Teasing too much makes you come off as a try hard and insecure. Balance is the key to teasing.
