"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"

Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."

You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.

She's been waiting forty minutes.

Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.

I have learned this the hard way over the past month or so..

This has happened to me on two occasions, and every time, I was baffled, because these girls showed such high IL when we were on the phone or just chatting.

Basically, I've been spinning plates with two girls, and these girls will text and call me about how much they want to kiss me and all this stuff, and it's great flirting. But every time I hang out and try to escalate, even very slowly and isolated, they suddenly become disinterested. One of the girls went as far as to say that she didn't feel like she knew me when we hung out.

I'm not sure why this happened, and feel free to tell me why you think it did, but it made me realize that the "Judge by action" saying is 100% correct. Don't let a girl tell you she wants to be with you, make her SHOW you before you believe her 100%
 

"She Laughed All Night. Then She Ghosted You. Here's Why."

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.

I honestly don't feel like I do. I may feel a little more confident on the phone, and that may subtly go into my tonality, but it's not like I'm two different people.

Yes, texts, emails, even phone conversations are all total Bullsh*t. Believe nothing.

This is unrelated with judging a woman by her actions. Although you MUST judge her by her actions, this one is a lack of trust. You haven't built enough rapport with the woman; hence, she feels like she doesn't know you which is an implication to feeling uncomfortable with you.

Have you done properly done kino escalation? You can't expect a woman to be ok with kissing you if you haven't done less meaningful touchy-feely things such as holding hands, touching each other, stroking her hair and things along those lines.

"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.
