At first I was like...Day 10. I'm going 365 days
Then I was like...

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.
At first I was like...Day 10. I'm going 365 days
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.
Roll call: who's still in? @skinnyguy, @Toni (from my other thread), @finality, @narcissist
Day12 complete.
Process is going well. I'm more relaxed. I don't look LTR hungry/thirsty as I was over a month ago. I still notice that I'm revealing too much backstory about personal matters in set, so I want to curb that down pat and talk less when I'm nervous (if any DJs (maybe @deesade) have any tips with that in approaching a set and handling nerves/talking less I would appreciate any input). I want to be confident enough to be quiet and give the other person the chance to talk more about themselves.
I'm generally more upbeat... higher energy in set. I make sure to befriend obstacles and include them in the interaction. I like this part because they almost have a confused look on their faces when I re-engage them and include them in the set. They hesitate to respond, which is an interesting observation (makes me wonder what they're thinking, though I'm trying not to care about that either...).
My eye contact has been improving. I pick up on more subtle social cues and body language that I typically missed before.
I have one chica that initiates texts with a question for my input often from one of my social spheres. She seems like the shy/introverted type which would be a first for me in a while since I typically attract the dominant/aggressive types (I wonder if this is frame balance...or...representative of improvement...::head scratch::...hmm...).![]()
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.
Cultivate an attitude of gratitude....I want to quit being jealous of people with things that I don't and brewing about it all day. What would I cultivate for that?
Yo. What happened with that GF you had?Also I got 7 numbers this week, and did about 15-20 approaches. But I have to jack that number way up. But I feel mad motivated to get pvssy--because it is my only way to release.
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.
I broke up with her like 2 weeks ago. She was a great girlfriend, no arguments or complaining or anything like that, I just wasn't really feeling it anymore. The spark was gone for me.Yo. What happened with that GF you had?
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.
Great! I honestly dont know what my record is but I know I have done 14 days before and now its 17 so it might be for me too. The amazing thing about making it this far is that I dont think much about masturbating anymore, I only think about fuking. Its like my mind has gone back to default.Day 17 boys! I have officially beat my all time record for NoFap!!!! Fvck yes. And I have a date tonight with a gorgeous asian who figure skates (most delicious a$$ I have seen on an asian bean)!!! today is great gentlemen.
Just shaved my pubs and balls. It feels great, but for some reason I always get more h0rny when i shave em bare. I am ready as fvck to see this asian hottie.Great!

Put all that masculine energy into your strong eye contact and body language with a nice james bond smirk, then you give her that 17 days creampie she deserves! Can I get a HAIL YEAH
How about we continue this great journey in july by creating another thread then.
You can do it man!!! Stay strong! Go out and approach!Props, @narcissist, and @Milano. I'm struggling with an online course that keeps my thoughts off fap.Still in this challenge though...
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.
