"The Kiss of Death Mistake"

You replay the conversation at 2 a.m. She texted back fast yesterday. Today, nothing. Was that smile friendly or flirty? What did the shoulder touch mean?

Every hour you spend decoding her signals drains your confidence and hands her the controls. Women can sense that insecurity from across the room — and it repels them.

One of the "22 Rules" kills the obsession on the spot: assume she likes you, and act accordingly. Sounds too simple. Works anyway.

Her interest tends to rise to meet your expectations. Psychologists call it a self-fulfilling prophecy.

Once in a while, a dream girl will be convinced that she met you by fate, and that you are the man of her dreams.

What if she's a real beauty? What if it really does seem like fate? It's too easy to fall for her and blow it by confessing your love. How do you maintain control with a girl who already loves you when you secretly love 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.

This happens when the man does not have enough experience with women, and he latches on HARD to the first one to give him some real attention. It's a bad way to start a relationship and it will not last long. My advice would be for the man to date other women and get some experience so he isn't so overly sensitive to getting a little bit of female attention.

Well if she loves you, you only have to act: touch her in a sexual matter, talk about sex, lean in for the kiss and you'll be fine. On this case you can't blow it... she loves you already right ?

But like Captain writes: Don't be too sensitive. You gotta lead, always if not the relationship will end as fast as a pack of gum

I have plenty of experience (I'm 40 and single for godsake), but as girls reach the HB9+ category, I still tend to revert to my old inner wuss. Doesn't everyone have a breaking point?

From "The Art of Seduction" (Greene) - "Never rush into the arms of someone who appears willing. Do not make the mistake of overcrowding your target. Don't think they'll lose interest if you don't act fast, the opposite is true. Give them space. This is even more important when the target is having an effect on you."
 

"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"

She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.

Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.

The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.
