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.
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.
Just a joke, although I'll probably pin her down sometime. Probably the other way around when I come to think of it.Mindgamez said:Wingman in his 50s? Damn that's so cool.
About the fight with Violet, is it real? Or it's just a joke between you two?
You will fall in love [over and over] again. How nice does that sound? Had me thinking just now. Nothing is a big deal, yet we always, from our highly significant and narrow-minded perspective, seem to make it so. I can't help but imagine such great happiness that such a man would evoke not only within himself, but for people around him too. Not limited to the 'self-amusement' paradigm, but to all mental barriers. Imagine having nothing, but healthy restraints inbetween your desires and your actions.apocolipto said:You will find other chicks,and fall inlove again.
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.
Most guys accidentally kill attraction before they even speak. They assume they need a bigger bank account, a better physique, or smoother lines. They miss the point.
Female desire operates on a specific set of psychological triggers. Break them, and you're invisible. Follow them, and you become magnetic.
I learned this the hard way. Years of freezing up. Getting friend-zoned. Watching other guys walk away with the girl I wanted. Then I discovered a set of 22 simple rules that rewired my entire approach.
No idea where my book is. Almost never take it to school, but a friend of mine could've borrowed it at school without me knowing.apocolipto said:Where's your book dude??
And if you care,,why not go LTR? Not what you want in this stage of life,or just not with her?
I may also be hooking up with my ex from two years ago.The one that broke my heart and caused me to turn from AFC to DJ.My frame will be that I'm in control of the relationship this time.
Look back and read about her. She got with one of his friends.apocolipto said:"apocolipto, def not with her. She has proven herself to be unreliable in the past"
?
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.
Are you going insane or what? HahaArrived in Amsterdam. Held intense eye contact with some chick I was sure was from 21 Jump Street. Then I saw another dude I was certain was from that movie.
