"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"

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.

need an original idea

"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.

How about asking a proper question.

You can get your girl a damned toothbrush and she'll still be happy.
 

"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.

Guess you two are on good terms still. Possibly getting back with her?

What's your EX into? What's her interests?

But then it wouldn't be original, now would it? And why are you buying something for an ex?

"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, we don't condone gifts for any reason. If you are going to be giving gifts to say "I don't want to say I still feel for you", than you are still caught up on her, and you still feel for her.

You wouldn't bother asking if you didn't. Just treat her like another woman.

Pick a good movie, two theatre passes, something practical. If you want to send out a message, get her something she can use on a date with another guy, and put it into words when you place the gift in her arms.

You shouldn't be scared anyways. I buy all of my gifts for women at garage/house sales, there is always stuff that women love there but never have any use for.
 

"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"

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.

thanks for ur reply. to tell u the truth , i dont feel anything for her , it's been more than 6 or 7 mounths that we separated .my probleme is that am confused , as i dont know much about girls interpretations and that stuff , u can only imagine my dialema , if i am to give her some kind of gifts , she would have thought that am in some kinda of trance for her , that's why i asked about kinds of gifts.i know , my post wanst that clear , to rewrite it in another way : "what gifts can i give to a friend ? " and i think the answer would be :a nice 'friendly' postcard , with some friendly words on it .
thanks a lot.

Is she interested or seeing anyone now?

Give her a gift card to somewhere like a restaurant and tell her to use it with another guy she may like.
