So, let's say I have a date and I'm not sure if the girl will remember. What's a good way to remind her without seeming desperate?
You made your case like a lawyer. Stable job. Good guy. Ready for something real. All true. All irrelevant.
She weighed your points, nodded along, felt nothing — then fell hard for some tattooed bartender with a motorcycle and a gambling problem.
Logic is where attraction goes to die. The "22 Rules" work a level deeper, on the subconscious switches that decide within minutes whether you register as a MAN or as part of the furniture.
Stop presenting evidence. Start flipping switches.
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.
You make sure the date is near your place and you don't move until you get a confirmation from her.TheVampSlayer said:So, let's say I have a date and I'm not sure if the girl will remember. What's a good way to remind her without seeming desperate?
This is over gaming. You're taking the unnecessary risk of turning her off and being a jack a** when you already have a date setup. Yeah this move could pan out and maybe her IL will raise, but then again maybe it won't and there won't be a next date. Instead, just go on the damn date and raise her IL by showing yourself to her.Ruler said:The day of, send her a text saying "I have to cancel today".
And then don't show. Give some excuse of how you accidentally double booked with a buddy and you're going rock climbing or something.
Say you promise she can buy you a sh!tyy burger at x place, x date at x time.
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 hope you deleted that ho from your phone after that one.TheVampSlayer said:Thanks for the replies, guys. She remembered, but she flaked.

There is no reason to remind a girl of a date. She should be anxious and excited for the day of the date needing no reminders at all. When something is important as a date, girls will remember it looking forward to it. If she forgets she never really cared to go out. Set up your date and let her be ready to show up.TheVampSlayer said:So, let's say I have a date and I'm not sure if the girl will remember. What's a good way to remind her without seeming desperate?
You paid for dinner. You drove. You said "whatever you want is fine" every single time. All the effort, no expectations.
And she left anyway — probably for a guy who makes her pick up the pizza.
Painful. Also predictable. Her mind quietly concludes that anything requiring zero effort from her is worth exactly zero. You became a free sample, and free samples get taken for granted.
The 22 Rules flip the dynamic. Small shifts that get her investing effort, money, and time in you — until SHE'S the one afraid of losing YOU.
Disagree. This line of thinking is illogical and also reeks of outcome dependency. First, calling things beyond your control a failure is a negative and self-defeating attitude. Second, woman routinely can and do flake on guys despite correct gaming. Third, if you weren't outcome dependent you wouldn't care to call things beyond your control a failure to begin with.nismo-4 said:If a woman doesn't show up to a date or flakes on you, you have failed. Either:
1. She wanted validation and an ego boost.
2. You didn't attract her enough for her to show up.
3. You f**ked up in the attraction process.
4. A better man entered the picture.
Whatever the case, delete her number and move on if she doesn't show to a date.
I'm going to disagree with this and here's why. If you made specific plans days in advance to meet a friend somewhere, would you not want to verify with him at some point beforehand? Would you really say nothing at all to each other, maintain silence, and just hope he remembers? No, because that's retarded and you value your time.Desdinova said:You verifying the date with her = your interest is too high
Friends are a bit different. You don't have high or low IL in a friend. They're just kinda there, and sometimes you get busy with 5hit and forget.Yewki said:I'm going to disagree with this and here's why.

I have yet to see a woman think this deeply about going on a date.Why does it show you're desperate? Because you're willing to sacrifice a big chunk of your time out of fear of compromising her IL. This is putting women on a pedestal 101. What makes more sense, quickly verifying you're not going to waste the next 30-60 minutes of your life... or going to meet someone who has given no clear indication she even remembers?
She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.
Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.
The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.
