UH OH.....Now you've done it!!!!Etoile is the only exception, but otherwise, look back and see how females do nothing but corrupt this forum with their crap.
Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.
She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.
Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.
So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.
The words come later. The impression comes first.

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.
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.

Question
I've got a problem
IMPORTANT!
Your thoughts on this
Need your opinion
What should I do?
EVERYBODY READ THIS!
Attention Anti-Dump (or Adonis, or whoever)
I think this place would be a lot better if people would try to create descriptive subject lines that accurately describe the points of their posts. Personally, I usually ignore the above and I'm sure many others do as well.
(Feel free to respond with your own pet peeves. Maybe your opinion will help this forum to improve. However, try not to attack anyone in particular, please.)

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.
Here's the reasoning. The Forum is an EXTENSION of the SITE. The site which is filled with articles, tips, newsletters, and so on. After reading through these articles and tips, a potential poster should already have a basis for how to represent his DJ character on the boards. You don't start on the boards to then move on to the site, the site comes first. Everyone posting on the boards should then already be on their road to being a DJ. Pathetic subject lines of helplessness show that they skipped that important first step of reading through the site. We are here to help, but at least ask for help in a manner showing you've begun your DJ training.Originally posted by roadwarrior:

Are we all such knowledgeable DJ's that we can ignore pleas for help?????????????
Shame on sosauve.com...sure, many helpful posts are available to those who are familiar with this board. Many people looking for help, howvever, are first time posters and much of the so called 'good advice' on this board is debatable, to say the least.
To have an administrator belittle honest pleas for assistance(you can't post the entire jist of your post in it's title) sickens me to no end. I agree with Dizzy totally on this. Pleas for help get my attention first. Of course some of them are juvenile and unwarranted. So what!!!!...are we so called DJ's so knowledgeable we can ignore or sluff off posts titled 'Help, Please'. If so, then please tell me the purpose of this board. We already know it all so we might as well shut it down...get the drift.
Grow up or stop calling yourselves DJ's...we are here to learn from others and to help each other...not to belittle each other, no matter what the title of our post is or what its content may be...it's as simple as that!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Sosuave, I think I understand what you are trying to say...let's try to weed out the 'bad' posts from the 'good' posts before we even read them...I disagree.
Tongue in cheek....all posts should be entitled 'HELP'....then they would all get our equal attention...as they should!!
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.
Most guys accidentally kill attraction before they even speak. They assume they need a bigger bank account, a better physique, or smoother lines. They miss the point.
Female desire operates on a specific set of psychological triggers. Break them, and you're invisible. Follow them, and you become magnetic.
I learned this the hard way. Years of freezing up. Getting friend-zoned. Watching other guys walk away with the girl I wanted. Then I discovered a set of 22 simple rules that rewired my entire approach.
