Eating is for the weak...Anyways this OP is the same guy in the H&F forums saying hes gotten ripped in the last 3 months eating once a day and not working out.
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.

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.

Whatever works for YOU buddy!!
That's what I do, hang out and make eyes with girls until they approach.LAWYER said:haha...If you dont know how to make a girl come and talk to you without uttering a single word...then you are... hopeless
For those of you guys who know what I am talking about...its so easy right...all you basically do is just stare at her in a sexual way...and if she comes and talk to you...bingo...and if she walks away...who cares you stare at a different chick or if you really likes her you approach her.
I dont lack of confidence...and I dont drink...I dont approach girls because they come to me...mr_elor said:Lol, and whilst you're there glaring at her, a guy with decent game's gonna go and chat to her, then take her home.
But hey, if you like death row and don't feel confident enough to approach, that's cool. I'm sure you'll get the confidence at some point, maybe after a couple of drinks.
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 dont look at hoz! I dont give advice...You either get it or you dont...I'm just posting things I know...The Gamer said:These are the kinds of posts that bring the overall quality of these forums DOWN. LAWYER--if it works for you thats great. If this 'style of writing' is here for a kind of antagonistic fire starter, thats great too. If it's not, I think most people rather you just don't supply advice.
Keep starin them hoz down!
yo, that post almost rhymed!LAWYER said:I dont look at hoz! I dont give advice...You either get it or you dont...I'm just posting things I know...
If my post offends you then take that as a sign that you dont get it...

Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.
You've been "getting ready" for two years.
She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.
Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.

don't sweat it. don't let these clowns bring you down. we are the alpha males on here. we strut our stuff because we can. just today i dropped my pen and two young guys almost knocked heads reaching down to get it for me. of course it was a montblanc so i had to yell at the one who got it to give me back my ****ing pen! in the end i had my pen and had set the stage for an all-around alpha male day. i really should film my days and post them on here.

theyr'e not that expensive
Dude... please.LAWYER said:What am I saying...I do have a camera...I just need someone to film it...I mean.
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.

DJVladdy said:Oh Lordy... people like aldaris and lawyer - i'd love to see who they REALLY are. That's all I have to say. wow.
Anyways - staring at her in a sexual way: I can pull it off, but you have to be very masculine, very much "in the flow", and absolutely zero% creepiness.

Woah just look at that sexuality!
When a woman says it, guys hear a confession. A heads-up. A scheduling conflict.
Here's the translation: I don't feel anything. Right now. With you.
Watch what happens when a man triggers actual attraction. The busy career, the recent breakup, the "not in a place to date" — all of it evaporates instantly. The same woman who was guarding her freedom is suddenly free every night.
The "22 Rules" explain why. When the right switches flip, her timeline rearranges itself around you.
