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.
She calls you when her car breaks down. When she needs help moving. When some guy she's actually dating treats her badly.
You're the listener. The reliable one. The guy who would treat her so much better, if she'd just open her eyes.
She won't. You trained her to see you as the low-effort option — the friend who requires zero risk and zero investment. Every favor dug the hole deeper.
The "22 Rules" break the pattern. You'll stop auditioning for a role she already cast and become the man she chases instead. It starts with Rule 1.
How long have you been 'seeing' her?If you're seeing someone and you really like them, can see yourself becoming exclusive/dating them down the road but you're still working on getting over an ex would you risk being honest and telling them this?
A few months. I've been kind of taking things super slow and I think she's been picking up on that.How long have you been 'seeing' her?
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.
Well I don't mean making it exclusive right now but I can see that she's a good catch. I wanted to say "I know I've been dragging my feet but it's because I'm still trying to mentally get over my ex and I just wanted to let you know that". How does that sound?If you're thinking exclusivity and a long term relationship after 'a few months', you're not taking it slow at all.
If she begins to bring up exclusivity, that's taking is 'super slow'. You are already there.
I wouldn't be telling her anything like that.
Ask yourself 'what good will happen next' if you do.
Terrible."I know I've been dragging my feet but it's because I'm still trying to mentally get over my ex and I just wanted to let you know that". How does that sound?
If you want her pvssy to dry up and her interest level to drop then sure go ahead and tell her..Well I don't mean making it exclusive right now but I can see that she's a good catch.

"Getting over an ex" is for women to worry about. Men move forward with their life and don't look back.If you're seeing someone and you really like them, can see yourself becoming exclusive/dating them down the road but you're still working on getting over an ex would you risk being honest and telling them this?
