You replay the conversation at 2 a.m. She texted back fast yesterday. Today, nothing. Was that smile friendly or flirty? What did the shoulder touch mean?
Every hour you spend decoding her signals drains your confidence and hands her the controls. Women can sense that insecurity from across the room — and it repels them.
One of the "22 Rules" kills the obsession on the spot: assume she likes you, and act accordingly. Sounds too simple. Works anyway.
Her interest tends to rise to meet your expectations. Psychologists call it a self-fulfilling prophecy.
Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.
You've been "getting ready" for two years.
She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.
Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.
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.
If that is true you might need some new friends. Figure out what you might like trying and do that. If you really like clubbing go on a night your friends are less likely to go and go alone. Try other clubs.but half my friends are at parties or clubing and the other half are boring and dont want to do anything
She calls you when her car breaks down. When she needs help moving. When some guy she's actually dating treats her badly.
You're the listener. The reliable one. The guy who would treat her so much better, if she'd just open her eyes.
She won't. You trained her to see you as the low-effort option — the friend who requires zero risk and zero investment. Every favor dug the hole deeper.
The "22 Rules" break the pattern. You'll stop auditioning for a role she already cast and become the man she chases instead. It starts with Rule 1.

Looks like you answered your own question to me.Originally posted by Agressor
but half my friends are at parties or clubing ...
I feel like a loser going out by myself. what girl would want to talk to me?Originally posted by DJHoolahoop
Yeah man, I'm in a similar situation myself. I phone 10 friends and they're all doing something different with somebody else but me.
So what do I do? I'm training to be a DJ (not just a don juan too) so at times where there's nothing to do, I spin records. Pressuming you don't DJ, then tehre are other things.
- Try learning to dance, so you can go to the club and have a good time. Girls also like guys who dance.
- Try finding a hobby to have fun with on those days where you're bored and by yourself.
- Go to the movies by yourself.
- Play pool by yourself
- Go Bowling by yourself
- Go Clubbing by yourself
- If your city sponsors club parties, then try and go to them. The music, IMO, is a LOT better than what they normally play in bars and it's usually around 5 bux to get in. If you need tips on finding them, try and find music shops or record shops because usually the store clerk should know where you can find out where these sponsored parties are.
Some of these things might seem lame and loserish, but you shouldn't even care about what others think. And what's more loserish and lame? Going out and having a good time by yourself? Or sitting at home whacking off to internet porn saying you wish you had a life?
Trust me, if it's anything like where I had problems. Chances are you don't want to do those thigns alone, but trust me if you have nothing else to do they're great. Remember, who gives a **** about what other people think. Do it because YOU enjoy it, not by how it makes you look in others eyes.

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.
thats cause you are scared to jsut go out clubbing on your own.Originally posted by Scrumtulescence
I'm sort of in the same situation as you, except to a much, much, much larger extent. People say "just go out and meet new people", but easier said than done to jump-start a non-existent social life.
