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.
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.
Man oh man. Toreador, look here and try to understand something. You want to come across as being nice and chivalrous by worrying for her. But do you realize how insanely illogical that is?Originally posted by Toreador
any hint what to do, in case she doesn't contact me, is there a "emergency email option" ? I mean, I could say that I was worried about her, since she was not reachable, as an excuse you know?
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.
Yes you screwed up. You fall head over hells for her too quickly and by doing so you place her on the pedestal and became too needy by messaging her too much too soon. Girls don't like guys who come off that way you must not repeat this mistake again. Never place the girl first. Make sure she knows you have a life and you can have fun without her. Consider this experience a lesson learned and move on. Delete her #. If you fail to take advice, you should not ask for them.Originally posted by Toreador
i could not reach her, her cell phone was just ringing again.
this sux.
one last question and please answer:
Where my messages really this bad? cos different girls said that they would have appreciated these 2 messages from a guy.
