Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.
She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.
Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.
So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.
The words come later. The impression comes first.

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.
Agreed.Jariel said:That was so creepy and obnoxious. She was very average looking so I'm sure she was flattered by the attention. Plus I see no proof that they went on a date.
I imagine most women would get irritated by him very quickly if this is how he behaves, especially if he keeps imposing himself the way he did on that phone call. He's like a snakeoil salesman and a lot of girls will give up their number just to get him off their case, but I expect majority of them will flake as soon as they have time to think.
Scars said:I admire his fearlessness to approach, but that's about it. I don't think he's a PUA god by any means, he's simply gotten over approach anxiety. This guy needs to get into sales.

First off, she looks like she can't wait to get away from him.Scars said:She started giving him warmer vibes towards the end, but I'm sure once she walked away and had time to process what just happened she probably spent the rest of that phone call telling her mother how much a creep he was. I admire his fearlessness to approach, but that's about it. I don't think he's a PUA god by any means, he's simply gotten over approach anxiety. This guy needs to get into sales.
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.
One can not make all girls like him, but one can approach all the girls he likes.zekko said:First off, she looks like she can't wait to get away from him.
Secondly, notice there's that moment when she looks directly into the camera. She knows she's being filmed. I'm not sure what that means.
Third, the title of that YouTube page is so fanboy juvenile:
PAULIE JANKA TEARING THAT **** UP!!!! NUMBER CLOSE!!! KING OF PUA!!
Umm, okay.
Instead of criticizing him you should look at yourself and see if you can act the way you really want to act without the fear of getting the girls irritated.Jariel said:That was so creepy and obnoxious.

Hmm, he's asking directions.evansblue said:

But what's the point in doing that if he doesn't get laid or even a date? If I just want to fill my phone with numbers I could use a phone directory.evansblue said:Whether he slept with these two women is irrelevant. He can go up to any girl, remain calm and run smooth game. So while he might not nab every one (nobody does), he still reels in plenty through his approaches.
That's exactly what I have been doing for some time now, but my obnoxious behaviour and trying too hard is exactly what's been driving girls away and is something I've been trying to change.n00bPimp said:Instead of criticizing him you should look at yourself and see if you can act the way you really want to act without the fear of getting the girls irritated.
I couldn't help but notice the way he holds his arms. I used to hold my arms just like that when I was having an oral exam back in high school.evansblue said:
Haha!zekko said:Hmm, he's asking directions.
Maybe Paul Janka is really ALPHAROMEO.
I can't help but like you ALPHAROMEO, even though I think most of your advice is nonsense.ALPHAROMEO said:as regards asking for directions JANKA acknowledged he got the idea from me !! sort of flattering
Maybe you should get a hold of him and tell him he's infringing on your copyright.ALPHAROMEO said:JANKA acknowledged he got the idea from me !! sort of flattering
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.
