"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"

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.

Just wondering what excuses you guys have come across when you've been flaked on.

I was supposed to go out with this girl a couple of weeks ago but she texts me with the excuse that she is having a really heavy flow day :nervous: and was going to lay down cuz she felt like crap.

Anyone ever gotten that one?

Post your worst flake.
 

"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."

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.

Bytch was coming to see me, but lost the directions. She forgot her cellphone and couldn't call me so she went home (I guess they don't make pay phones anymore) to get it to call me. Somehow her girlfriend, who wanted her to hang out with her instead spilled a drink on the phone, so she couldn't call me. Mind you I hear about this about 4 days later.:rolleyes:

"Nervous Around Beautiful Women? There's a Rule for That"

I could talk to any woman I wasn't attracted to. Charming, funny, relaxed. Then a gorgeous woman looked my way and I'd become a sweating, babbling mess.

The fix took me years to find and ten minutes to learn. Nervousness and excitement are the same physical state — pounding heart, adrenaline, flushed face. Your brain just picks the label. And you can pick a better one.

Rule 16 shows you how. You feel the nerves, relabel them as excitement, and let that energy pour out as enthusiasm. Women notice the guy radiating it. They always do.

It's called the Universal Excuse Archive!

I asked out that lovely top-client of mine once, for a Halloween dance-- traditional old-timey live music, with a mature crowd and no booze. It was her day off, so she should've had no trouble, and she doesn't date other men.
She gave me the Sick Cat Excuse.
I didn't believe it, but I didn't bother to call her on it.
I had a great time without her.
She's just a lame date is all.

"I'm too drunk, so I'm gonna follow my friend home."

Home was 10+ miles away, at 2:30am....prime time for a DUI.

My place, where she SAID she was headed, was a few blocks away from the garage where her car was parked.

Stupid beyotch.

We need to create a flake response database; excuses given by bytches:

I'm washing my hair
My friend is coming out of town to visit
I will be out of town the next two weeks
I can't find a babysitter
My phone doesn't work

Phone conversation a year ago:

Her: Listen DJD i can't meet with you this saturday, i am driving to see my sick grandmother in Buffalo, i am really really sorry!! I owe you one.

ME: Ok that's fine, but do you promise you will make it up to me???

HER: Yeah for sure I promise!!

ME: OK give me a call when you come back from your Grandma.

That is the last time I spoke with this flakey b1tch, she never called and neither did I. I didn't bother to call her because I felt the story was horesh1t from the begining and as soon as any girl starts telling me bullsh1t stories, i don't bother with her anymore and move on to the next.

The sick relative excuse. I forgot about that one. Added to the list.
 

"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"

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.

Awhile ago, I was gaming this chick from my old job. We had planned to go out on a Friday, and I called and left her a message that night. She gets back to me on a TUESDAY (in person) with this sob story:

"Sorry I didn't call you back but I went to the store with my sister and I didn't know but I left my phone in her car and then it got lost and we went to the bar and my phone must have fallen under the seat or something and I didn't have it all weekend but then I found it on Sunday night..."
"Uhuh, so why didn't you bother to give me a call when you found it?"
*deer in headlights*

Dumb.

Hahahaha, some of these are hilarious. Last year, my roommate was (and still is) a huge AFC and we had a double-date lined up with two hotties. My date showed up, but his date didn't. She texted him at about midnight that night (5 hours after we went on the date) and said "Sorry I didn't come out with you tonight, I took a nap and just woke up." HAHA. Keep in mind this was on a Friday night.

Excuses I Am Ashamed To Admit I've Used:
"Oh...was that tonight? I thought you said tomorrow."
"My friend just got dumped and I can't leave her alone."
"My friend's car broke down and I have to go get her."
"My cat got loose outside and I have to go find him."
"I have to write a paper for my college class."

Now when she offers up the "Sick Grandma excuse" or "Family came to visit line", give it right back.
"Your Nana's in the hospital? Which one? I want to send flowers!"
"Your Mom/Dad/Brother is here? I'd love to meet them! Can I come over?"

Watch her stammer and stutter over her lie!

I always hate the, "I'm really busy this semester," excuse.

There's also the, "I'm talking to this guy from Pennsylvania. He isn't moving here until January, but I'm not going to just date somebody to date them until then."

Ok ok. This one is just baffling. I need some feed back for this.

Me: Want to go to the dance?

Her: I've got to get to know you better.(We've known each other for two years at this point.)

~At the dance I hang around with her and a few other friends a bit and later she hooks up with some guy that justs asks her out during the dance.~
 

"I just moved here from Florida."

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.
