I could talk to any woman I wasn't attracted to. Charming, funny, relaxed. Then a gorgeous woman looked my way and I'd become a sweating, babbling mess.
The fix took me years to find and ten minutes to learn. Nervousness and excitement are the same physical state — pounding heart, adrenaline, flushed face. Your brain just picks the label. And you can pick a better one.
Rule 16 shows you how. You feel the nerves, relabel them as excitement, and let that energy pour out as enthusiasm. Women notice the guy radiating it. They always do.
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.
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.
Your story reminds me of howOriginally posted by DonJoey:
I went to a friend's party with his family (they party hard).
Was gonna get seriously drunk but after doing so on christmas eve the smell of burbon made me feel sick so we smoked cubans till midnight.
Then at midnight as we kissed his family members on the cheek, his sister in law who I had/have the hots for, made a move on last year and eventually wrote off as a low interest prospect sees me in the distance and runs over for a kiss, as i'm about to give her the usual one as I did everyone else, she grabs me for the tightest hug and kiss...man to feel her breasts pressed against my chest and as I made her laugh with a comment, her warm breath on my neck sent me in a spin.
I held her a while longer than normal and gave her a slap on the ass as she walked away with a smile.
Maybe distance has made her heart grow fonder? Who knows....i'll retest the waters in due time.
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.
Yes! Holy shyt! That's so fvcking awesome. I am so proud of you bro. Keep it up.Originally posted by It's a game !:
Well this one is thanks to Mr. Jake Steed !!!
Thanks a mil for the great advice you gave me on the rave !!
Allright , well the girl that I wrote off did what was inevitable.. Flirted with other guys like crazy !!!
She kept walking around hand in hand with this girly guy !!! She even layed down on this one guy right smack in front of me !!
But, she did spend the New Years Countdown on my shoulders, and we Kissed at Midnight, which was great.. And we also kissed a couple of times during the night..
But guess what !!! She was all tired at 5 in the morning and actually left the rave.
(Rave ended at noon), and it was planned that I'd go to her house after the rave..
But I didn't go ! I stayed ! With a girl that was with us.. Used to be a great friend of the girl mentionned above, but now they really don't like each other, but they're friendly out of hypocrisy..
Well after the girl mentionned above left.. Me and this girl were ALLLLLL OVEEERRR EACHHH OOTHHHHEEERRRR !!! From 5 in the morning up until 11... Massaging, making out, neck kissing, she jacked me off, I fingered her, and the best............
WE FVCKED !!!!!!!!!!! AT THE RAVE !!!!!!!
ON ECXTASY !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Then afterwards, I dropped her off, went to the girl mentionned above's house, chilled out with her all day, then kissed her on the lips before I left !!!!!
