You replay the conversation at 2 a.m. She texted back fast yesterday. Today, nothing. Was that smile friendly or flirty? What did the shoulder touch mean?
Every hour you spend decoding her signals drains your confidence and hands her the controls. Women can sense that insecurity from across the room — and it repels them.
One of the "22 Rules" kills the obsession on the spot: assume she likes you, and act accordingly. Sounds too simple. Works anyway.
Her interest tends to rise to meet your expectations. Psychologists call it a self-fulfilling prophecy.
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.
Brah...MtnMan said:hah! a twist to this ridiculous story. There seems to be some confusion in posts above, I did respond to her initial friendzoning with something to the effect of
"lol, friendzoned without ever meeting, that has to be a record! that must have been a hell of a vacation"
I just got back a response:
"I LOVED your response! you're a funny dude! It was an amazing trip. I think we should chill. DO IT!! DO IT!"
hah! crazy beotch.
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.
Think you could bang this one. And....I think you should. If for nothing else, do it in the name of science.MtnMan said:hah! a twist to this ridiculous story. There seems to be some confusion in posts above, I did respond to her initial friendzoning with something to the effect of

I honestly think you might be right, considering attempting just because my level of fvcks is so low for this chick that it actually might work out.Peaks&Valleys said:Think you could bang this one. And....I think you should. If for nothing else, do it in the name of science.
Make this a little social experiment.
You may have come on to something here: Whenever a girl comes back from Ecuador and says she met someone. All this means is she wants to get railed.
Ok so she's confirmed mental, but as others pointed out you have a good shot at railing her so go for it.MtnMan said:"I LOVED your response! you're a funny dude! It was an amazing trip. I think we should chill. DO IT!! DO IT!"
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.
