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.
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.
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.
Man, you are just about the coolest dude in the world. Pure honesty and pure sexuality, and you get em all.Nino-Tk said:Well sometime last week she told me that she'd be cool with dating but only if I left all my girls, I refused. She walked away. Today, however, she told me that she was going to go ahead and just date but her friends refused profusely because they have seen hanging out with a girl too often so to her it just added fuel to me being a player. So she asked me straight up today if I had a Gf, I admitted to having several and then she kept quiet, after a while, she told me that we should be FWB, it seems good to me but I don't know gents, I think shes got feelings for real...anyway, I told her that I will be spending breaktime with her tomorrow,I'll see what will go down.
The problem is, women are emotional creatures. When they get with a guy, they have emotions about it, and if he's with other girls, they feel jealousy and other painful emotions.beacause it is not like I LIE to these women, I tell them the truth...then again..ah fvck it, someone shed light please.
Thats GENIUS. Dude youre awesome. You always have a new close to share.Nino-Tk said:So then I thought of Tshpenova's " On Da Spot" theory where he will always try to have sex with a women anywhere, anytime so that even when he doesn't lay her, the girl can look forward to experiencing it, because of the brash sexuality! So we are now hot and I pull her skirt up and squeezed those thighs, She told me to slow down " No, not here" But I'm a Dj, its not what they say, its how they act and she sure as hell wasn't moving it away, so then I just brushed up on her Gina, God, I swear I witnessed a sexual beast! But like a Sweet dream being abrubtly interrupted, we heard the hooter of of our buses, we had to go. I was hot, so was she.
You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.
Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.
She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.
Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.
Man you should come to the townships, where I reside, there are alot of guys who are not in Universities bra, I don't think having bad marks will get one into University just because that someone is black. And yeah you are right, its not that hard but I can get obsessive quite easily, so this time around I wnat it to be my school work, I'll try and strike the right balance though.DanZy said:Dude I don't mean to be rude or cause offense, but you're black and in this country that means near-guaranteed university entrance. ****, as a white guy I have the toughest time getting in, especially with the course I want to take. Balancing girls and grades isn't easy but it's not hard either.

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.
Bra, now that I think about it, yeah I shouldn't have agreed , I should've thought of that line! Oh well I guess we never stop learning about the game huh? Nice one though thanksLearningSlowly said:You're right that you need to focus yourself on school. Your future is important. You know how to get girls, make sure you take that skill to the university level.
But as far as telling this girl you would be an exclusive... Wrong move. Maybe you could have said "I'll be your boyfriend for today, and we'll see how it goes. Come on, lets go this way." then started walking and looking for a private location where you could have sex.
I wouldn't have thought of it either, but next time a girl wants you to be committed, and I'm sure someone will, you might remember it.
Yea bro I spent last week in Alex, ****s depressing. I know guys who've come from absolute poverty and made something of their lives from sheer hard work. The government has failed our nation completely, it's appalling. Without COSATU, we'd have a single party state, they're the only ones who have any pull with the ANC.

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.
