"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"

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.

My girlfriend seems to be not very responsive

Hi,

I am dating a girl I like. I wrote about my history here. So far, everything seems ok, but I have some problems and I'd like to know the board opinion. I'll be short:

I am dating this girl since 2 months. She seems to have high interest on me, she told her friends we are togheter, we sleep every weekend, we make a lot of events togheter, etc. However, there are mainly two things that make me think:

1. She takes time to answer me. For example, if we have a whatsapp conversation, and I ask something:
Me: "So then when they will be available?"
She: "I dont know what to say! maybe you should ask them... How are you, everthing ok?"
Today I said :"I see you don't want to say anything, because it took 1 and a half hour to answer!" (I put an emoticon to give some humor to my sentence". She answered me "ahhaa, come on I am doing work staff, what your sister told about (bla bla)? By the way, I do not know if i did well with that answer.

My question here is: How should I approach these situations? Should I let her know, or maybe should I go silent? I do not know what is the correct approach and I think it is very important, since if I am very reactive I know I will lose my framework. Otherwise, if I simulate I do not care I might act as a total beta.

2. Sometimes she seems to not to imply me in her future. For example, going abroad for working three months.

I do not know if I am a little bit obssesed about all of this, in general, I do not know how to act when the chick seems to be not very responsive. Looking forward to your answers!

Thanks.

PS: She is my girlfriend, and I like her as LTR.
 

"Why Women Dump the Guys Who Try the Hardest"

You paid for dinner. You drove. You said "whatever you want is fine" every single time. All the effort, no expectations.

And she left anyway — probably for a guy who makes her pick up the pizza.

Painful. Also predictable. Her mind quietly concludes that anything requiring zero effort from her is worth exactly zero. You became a free sample, and free samples get taken for granted.

The 22 Rules flip the dynamic. Small shifts that get her investing effort, money, and time in you — until SHE'S the one afraid of losing YOU.

Yes, but how? I am looking to that. I actually have a (I think good) life, but my mentality sometimes does not work as a DJ, and that is what I am trying to fix !

You should never ask a woman what is taking so long to respond. This establishes a frame where you need her, and not the other way around.

My best advice is to stop worrying about get responses to you and start talking to other women.

As a man, it should be the other way around. She should be worrying about you not replying fast enough, not including her in your future etc.

You need her too much. Stop worrying about her and worry about your own life. When you are a busy man and have other prospective women around, you won't care if she takes ten hours to reply because it simply won't matter to you.

You're slowly developing one-itis. Tread carefully.

When you first start dating a chick the first few months are full of $hit tests no matter how good you think it is as she is figuring if you are a beta or alpha. More often then not it's a trap that put you off guard. Remember that. If I was to guess it sound like you dropped your guard when she was $hit testing you to the max and now you failed. A girl doesn't fall in love with you when you make them comfortable. They fall in love when you cause them drama.
 

"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.

Thanks to all the responses... @Speculator E , give me some credit! I am trying to do my best. I actually think I have passed some tests, and I am facing now new ones, that's why I am asking you how to approach them.

So far I think I will go ghost and less responsive. I'll be centered on my work, and let's see how it works. I'll keep you updated. Any new advices are more than welcome.

Bro how do you have constant sex with a good looking girl for 2 months, and then you text her that and ask a question like this? What do you expect her to say? "I love you, I miss you, I want to rip my clothes off and have sex with you right now?"

You are having sex with her. She delays a text for a little bit and you freak out? It seems like we need more emotional support from girls than actual sex. Anyway bro just relax, keep having sex with her and don't change anything. You are looking for trouble when there isn't any.

2. Sometimes she seems to not to imply me in her future. For example, going abroad for working three months.

You have been dating her for 2 months and you are worried that she is not talking about you guys getting married, having kids and starting a family with a white picket fence? Come on bro, you have to be SO good the she is worried you aren't having sex with other girls and you guys aren't married, not you.

Just keep having sex with her, the emotional stuff is for HER to deal with, not you.

You are asking for advice aren't you? Don't think that the $hit test ever stop. They always come out with new ones.

Going silent is good. But don't just go silent because it's the standard Sosuave advice. Your mental process should be she is in the wrong because you ask her a legit question about her taking 2 hrs to reply back and she reply back with some bs answer. Notice she didn't even say Sorry.

Therefore you have a legit reason to withdraw your love and attention. Go silent and let her guess what's wrong. This is how an alpha male would react. Good luck.
