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.

lol good thing you pointed that out.Aazman said:read who has written it.
then ignore it. Can't trust a woman's opinion. plus she doesn't represent every girl in the world.
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.
I think women like the looks of facial hair, it makes the guy look rugged. But I think they like the feel of the clean shaven guy. I used to have a goatee but the hair on my face is very stiff and it would irritate the girl's skin. So I shaved it off, plus it was getting too gray anyway. I'm sure a lot of guys have softer facial hair, mine is like steel wool and it's a bear shaving it off even.Anyways, what is everyone else facial hair like? I keep a clean shave now.
I used to keep it clean shaven but not anymore. I have struggled all my life with my image. I can't help it I have pretty boy good looks and a nice face. Having facial hair has given me that edge that I didn't have before. I look more mature and rough and not so much like a nice guy because of my pretty face. If you look like a nice guy/have a pretty face rather than a masculine face then you should definitely grow some facial hair.SeymourCake said:lol good thing you pointed that out.

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.
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.
Exactly my problem that's why I had to grow a beard. It doesn't look very good as it takes me me a while to grow facial hair but it does help me look manlier.Demonicale said:Yeah it does make you look older and more manly, i've alway's suffered from boyish looks which i think put alot of women off.
So i've grown me some long sideburns with a goatee and mustache.
