never tell how much money u make to a girl and never bring her to the mall...she is gonna ask u to buy her stuffs.
She says the movie looks dumb; you suddenly agree. She tests you with a little attitude; you apologize for nothing.
You think you're being easy to get along with. She reads something else entirely: a man with no edges. Nothing to hold on to. No friction, no tension, no reason to wonder what he really thinks.
The "22 Rules" taught me to push back — playfully, calmly, without needing her approval. Strange things happened after that.
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.
just something?!escaleraroyal said:just something.
You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.
For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.
Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.
The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.
Have you read the DJ Bible?baurman said:Not necessarily true, if you take her out to dinner you pay for her or she'll think you're cheap. If shes a potentoal LTR you pay but not ridiculous things like jewelru and crap.
:cheer: congragulations, here let me give you another rule, never tell anybody how much you earn, it makes people jealous which makes them gossip about you. If you buy somebody a drink, wait till they buy you one back. Some people never will, then you know you found yourself a leech, if they do buy you back then you know you can buy some more, they'll mostly try to get even with you.escaleraroyal said:never tell how much money u make to a girl and never bring her to the mall...she is gonna ask u to buy her stuffs.
