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.
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.
No. He and tenacity must have been laughing at how gullible some of you wereDid you send him nudes yes or no?
Who, da dyn? Yep. I've talked to a bunch of SS guys over pm, never sexually tho, no nudes, nothing like that, nothing sexual.Isnt it true you PMd him?
Lol, oh boy. He wanted me to prove I wasn't a guy so I texted him my picture. I'm surprised you didn't get a copy, I hear he passed it around. Bigneil gave me a 7. But it wasn't a nude. He also passed out my phone number and two ss'ers called me. IMO pretty beta behavior all the way around.So when he said "@sazc is actually a hot chick" he was making it up?
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.
I have nothing to hide and id prefer the truth be toldI expected you to cut me off a while back haha
Oh good Lord. He tried. It was not pretty, lol
#Word on thatOh good Lord. He tried. It was not pretty, lol
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.
You should pm me tonight.....lolWho, da dyn? Yep. I've talked to a bunch of SS guys over pm, never sexually tho, no nudes, nothing like that, nothing sexual.
Thanks but I've learned my lesson lolYou should pm me tonight.....lol
Sh!t happens sazc, Don't let a couple of experiences in the past dictate the future, sometimes you will miss out on things.......Thanks but I've learned my lesson lol
Meh, I also had tenacity scream at me in pm telling me I was a racist, and other unsavory things. Lots of shiz went down in pm that I did not deserve. It's disabled now. It's easier that waySh!t happens sazc, Don't let a couple of experiences in the past dictate the future, sometimes you will miss out on things.......
I hear ya though.

True.Lots of thirsty guys out there, and apparently on this forum. Respect. Learn it. Live it. Including here.
There are no girls on the internet, this is widely known fact.Omg there's girls on the internet.
The internet is a sausage fest. Just look at this place.There are no girls on the internet, this is widely known fact.
You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.
For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.
Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.
The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.
