You made your case like a lawyer. Stable job. Good guy. Ready for something real. All true. All irrelevant.
She weighed your points, nodded along, felt nothing — then fell hard for some tattooed bartender with a motorcycle and a gambling problem.
Logic is where attraction goes to die. The "22 Rules" work a level deeper, on the subconscious switches that decide within minutes whether you register as a MAN or as part of the furniture.
Stop presenting evidence. Start flipping switches.
Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.
She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.
Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.
So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.
The words come later. The impression comes first.
What you guys think of it? Of course I wasn't abused as a child and don't suffer from any chronic depression. I just knew that she was the type of loving and caring person, which is why I decided to play with that. What should I say during the phone conversation? Hahahahaha... My goal is to setup a date.Me : Its Mindgamez. Happy valentine's day
Her : Thanks sweety xoxo I wanna see you
Me : Haha, im pretty sure i made your day with the waldo comment LOL. Ya me too
Her : Hey man this is Jonathan, Palina's boyfriend. I wrote the previous message.
Me : Sorry for mustering up the courage to walk up to her and introduce myself. You guys enjoy some great sex tonight
Her : We will. You go watch porn buddy (;
Her : Hey omg I'm sorry this is palina my friends took my phone. I'm rly sorry
Me : That's hilarious
Her : I'm so sorry( I know this is not right, I'm not that kind of person go out, have fun and whatever Valentine's day, its just a name they gave to a day!! Wish u to enjoy everyday
Me : You're very nice, I appreciate. Tell your friends that I forgive them, and wish them happy v-day
Her : Thank you so much for ur understanding!!! Enjoy your night
The next day
Me : Yesterday I used the waldo line on a girl who had the same shirt as you at the club. She hated it LOLOL
Her : No way!! Haha looll, but frankly, me too, I didn't understand it at first ;s haha
Me : You hated it? Thats racist
Her : 0.o racist?? I just didn't get it. I didn't know waldo and trouver Charlie was the same thing...
Me : HAHAHAHAHA! trouver Charlie was the **** back in the day
Her : Of course it was
Me : Russian with a quebec accent, that's funny
Her : I guess...
Me : Haha, so you have a bf named JOnathan?
Her : Nahh he's just a good friend of mine
Me : May your friend Jonathan rest in peace in the friend zone... send him my love
Her : And why do u say tht to me exactly? Let me be clear, I was wrong by giving my phone, he was wrong when writting this, and now you're clearly wrong by insulting him. You don't know him and you don't know me. So please do not waste my time with such comments.
Me : You clearly don't get my sense of humor
Her : You're a 100% right on that one
That's where I FLIP it around. HAHAHAHA.
Me : Sorry. I've been abused as a child and I just like, i just have my moments of feeling like ****. Sorry I'm just so depressed and stuff. Didnt mean to hurt you or anything...
Her : Don't worry, next time just don't talk about somebody you don't know, and I'm sorry as well. But really? Don't be depressed, isn't the day particularly beautiful today, u should go outside while it's sunny, might help
Me : Yeah I'm serious. That's sweet of you
Her : Mmh do u wanna talk about your worries, if it might help, feel free to
WIN. HAHAHAHA.
Me : I'll call you maybe tomorrow evening or something. Just chat though, I don't like talking about negativity. I dont know you that much, but it seems like you have a big heart
Her : I would be glad to talk, but my cell phone plan only includes 50 mins per month, so if u wanna talk for 10 min I'm ok ;s or else I'm getting charged and I'm not down for tht ;/
Me : 10 minutes is more than enough
Her : Kk then
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.
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.
It's too late to meetup during the break, too much work. So I'll wait until Tuesday to sort things out and invite her out. There's no point in texting her.Her : Yo I'm sorry I never picked up I got really sick around then and just napped away then and the start of my march break
Her : I'm really sorry
Her : I hope you didn't need to reach me badly
Her : So what's up? You good?
I laughed my ass off as I sent this text. Dominic saw it too, he was sitting next to me in the computer lab. After he left, I worked on my assignment.Her : Hey Mindgamez, so in the end I can't chill with you on friday. Hope that's okay. I'm sorry. Though ice cream some day would be nice, but full disclosure I must admit I do have a thing with a guy right now so if you wanted this to be a date it can't be that.
Her : Cooool okay so see you
Me : That's cool, I still have my left hand in handy
Cool, she thinks I'm hot? At least somewhat (;Me : Yeah I'm fcking hot
Her : Hahahaha and ****y ;p

I felt this text like a sting in the heart, but then laughed it off a while later. Now I think it's super funny.Her : Yo straight up, this text makes you into the worlds biggest pervert. Congrats. Really thought you had more class than that bud. And if you're not referring to jacking yourself off then you reallyneed to learn how to explain yourself clearly....
Her : I'm ****ing disgusted.
Me : Ok
Me : Its called a joke btw
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.
