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.
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.

Ok, here's the update
She came over last night. I was still suspicious. So I managed to get her clothes off and I checked around her thigh for a birthmark that my ex had. It wasn't there.
So that's one sign it isn't her. But I'm still not convinced. She has ALMOST the exact same body as my ex.. boob size and all. She has almost the exact same voice. I did look at the car she was driving and it was not the car of my ex which is good. I even stooped so low as to go into her purse when she was sleeping to see her ID, but she didn't have an ID in her purse!!! I'm still suspicious, because I broke up with my ex like 3 months ago. She kept calling me even after we broke up. But ever since I met this new girl she hasn't called me once. Even this new girls personality is like my ex. Damn, I feel like I'm still dating my EX!
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.

i don't know how to say this in a nice way.
i was thinking you must be on drugs.
how can you not recognise from her eyes the woman you used to f*ck ?
get off the drugs and i am sure things will become clear
good luck

Immaculate, seriously, you may want to re-evaluate what you're doing. I'd say get off the drugs, and def. lose the broad. Did this chick at least play it smart enough that she asked for directions to your house or did she just say 'let me come over' and poof she's at your door?:crackup:
Run, and do it quickly.
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.

3) Immaculate is a troll
4) If anyone here believes this bullsh!t, then I feel sorry for you.
5) wtf?!
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.
it's herOriginally posted by Immaculate
no man.. this girl is like her twin sister ,, i'm not kidding...
I'm actually suspicious it IS my Ex fooling me somehow because I broke up with her.

You remind me of a girl, that I once knew.
See her face whenever I, I look at you.
You won't believe all of the things she put me through.
This is why I just can't get with you.
