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.
I could talk to any woman I wasn't attracted to. Charming, funny, relaxed. Then a gorgeous woman looked my way and I'd become a sweating, babbling mess.
The fix took me years to find and ten minutes to learn. Nervousness and excitement are the same physical state — pounding heart, adrenaline, flushed face. Your brain just picks the label. And you can pick a better one.
Rule 16 shows you how. You feel the nerves, relabel them as excitement, and let that energy pour out as enthusiasm. Women notice the guy radiating it. They always do.
Sh1t , getting girls is so out of your reality. You'll have some bad problems in the future if you don't start acting NOW. You'll never have abundance.trv26 said:Also, if not trying to get with other girls, what other practical suggestions do you have to get over a breakup?
Huh? What are you on about? Ok I know I'm not rolling in girls, but atleast i'm trying.Daddy The Pimp said:Sh1t , getting girls is so out of your reality. You'll have some bad problems in the future if you don't start acting NOW. You'll never have abundance.
Well you're doing the right thing by discussing it. There are a few (only a few) people I've seen on this board give good advice. Try other mediums as well. I, for one, used to be a LAME in high school. Since then I've dated hundreds of females, thanks to the stuff I learned from other guys (and a few females) who were "THOROUGH" with game.trv26 said:Fair enough. I don't think she minds chatting however, because often its her starting the conversation. But I do get the point about persistence not changing anything w.r.t. attraction.
Also, if not trying to get with other girls, what other practical suggestions do you have to get over a breakup?
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.
Do you think she wants a relationship with you? If no, and you still want one with her, you will end up chasing her and it will not end well. Give up before you dig into this problem too deeply.trv26 said:I asked her for phone, said no. Asked her out, she said no.
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.
Dude, listen. If she gave you a direct no, that means NO!trv26 said:Lol, how will I get hurt? And even if I did get hurt, isn't this site all for doing something even if its the wrong thing, but learning something through the experience?
Also I think I'm at the friend-bf juncture, and if I play things right I'll be in.
Is she worth pursuing? If you're just desperate for a girl shes not worth it, become her friend and use the opportunity for practice dealing with women, connections, etc.trv26 said:Also I think I'm at the friend-bf juncture, and if I play things right I'll be in.
