"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"
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.
My Honey...
- Thread starter Commando
- Start date
"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."
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.
You seemed to spend the night how many AFC's spent the night, alone. I know I'm no "pro" but I'd say only tell your "beotch" you have business if you actually have business..Otherwise what's wrong with spending some time with her?
Thats just my take on it. Anyways carry on Commando.

"I'm Not Looking for Anything Serious Right Now"
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.
Your girl has to miss you. You cant be always acceptable.
But you dont have to turn everything down either.
For example if she wants to go to the cinema maker her go to the pub with you
If she wants to go to the disco and you want to just go with her already but make sure to enjoy yourself.
To the online thingie: some DJs here tend to say that being online and talking is good. For me its an absolute no-go if you cant get her to the phone.
When you are online you tend to be always on ( for example when u are in sosuave) or you tend to talk with her more than you would on the phone. That means you are talking about topics you could talk about in reallife and when you get her to a meeting in reallife ( when you didnt end up in the friends zone already) you have nothing to talk about.
"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.
I'm still navagating it a bit and yes there are many different attitudes and perspectives. All flavors.
If my language was offensive to some I apologize but I was emulating (tongue in cheek) some of what I have seen here. Not all, but some and so I had some fun.
It is true that in the beginning of getting to know someone backing off a bit to (let them miss you a little) can help. It builds attraction and shows that you have your own life and things to do. Not too many people want to spend every moment together and often you see people get their fill of each other too quickly and then there is nothing left. Enryu makes some good suggestions.
I know you will all miss me, but I got to roll. Somebody is making me a sandwich.

Coming over is a different story. How's that DJ bible working for you? Yeah I already know, you love the men that follow it!

And no, I wouldn't go near a man who subscribes to most of that nonsense. Some of it is ok, but after I read the thing about being a "prick for a day" you lost me. No class. I like my mens to have CLASS!
