We all tend to view the world through our own lens of reality.
To some she may well be a 10. To me she is a cute 7.

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.

He makes a good point. This is afterall "Anything Else".SmokeX said:Just a random post in anything else, Felt like doing it.
Good point, I hadn't thought of that. It always pissed me off that I have to get a 2.0 GPA in school (which is like 65%), even though the cut-off mark is 50%.Mctwist4 said:I agree with you, but when schools use a system of grading where 70 - 79% is considered average, people are going to apply the same same system to the rating and grading of most other things. There's really nothing we can do about it.

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.
Way to be offtopic. Lemme guess, you're gonna add me now :yawn:~attrACTION~ said:"This message is hidden because SmokeX is on your ignore list."
Ah, I love the ignore list! I don't know why I didn't start using it earlier. It makes visiting SoSuave much more pleasant.

You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.
Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.
Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.
Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.
What was the point of this gay ass post? Are you that much of a drama queen that you need to derail somebody elses thread?~attrACTION~ said:"This message is hidden because SmokeX is on your ignore list."

Slevin - Apparently so. hahaSlevin said:What was the point of this gay ass post? Are you that much of a drama queen that you need to derail somebody elses thread?

No. In another thread, SmokeX claimed that he was a homosexual. I think it's somewhat disturbing having a GAY member on the SoSuave forum. Especially since this is not GaySuave.Slevin said:What was the point of this gay ass post? Are you that much of a drama queen that you need to derail somebody elses thread?
Ummmm......~attrACTION~ said:I have nothing against homosexuals
So you're a lying bigot, got it!I only add people who are blatantly GAY
Have fun burying your head in the sand, you worthless bigot!!Congratulations, you make 25.
You made your case like a lawyer. Stable job. Good guy. Ready for something real. All true. All irrelevant.
She weighed your points, nodded along, felt nothing — then fell hard for some tattooed bartender with a motorcycle and a gambling problem.
Logic is where attraction goes to die. The "22 Rules" work a level deeper, on the subconscious switches that decide within minutes whether you register as a MAN or as part of the furniture.
Stop presenting evidence. Start flipping switches.
the funny thing is.... is that you just made his girl look worse than the pictures that he posted.Docs said:^
She's 18. I'll see if I can dig though my collections of pictures and show you a better one of my mate's girl.

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.
