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.
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.
Which part do you agree with/disagree with, have valid input to build upon it?djbr said:Bump to the Pook reply!

Or are you just hoping pook comes through your monitor with a pink feather an tickles your azz hole for bumping his post?

I read that years ago! Theres some truth to it. Thats all I will say.Matt Rogers said:I was reading an interesting chapter in Napoleon Hill's book Think and Grow Rich. It focuses on the power of harnessing sexual desire and redirecting it to other areas of life. When driven by this desire we develop "keeness of imagination, courage, will-power, persistence and creative ability" and a "superpower for action"=attributes that make us extremely attractive.
Hill notes that the greatest achievers are those with highly developed sexual natures. Conversely castrated animals become docile. Dissipitating their sexual energy through over-indulgence in sex, masturbation and lusting over porn, is counterproductive to man's chances of success, and development of charisma and other attractive personality traits.
Transmute this sex energy into enthusiasm, charisma, and persuasion and you will develop a magnetism that will draw success (and women) towards you.
I found this advice highly interesting and I would welcome comments on Hill's conclusions.
Yes, I'd say so.Freddy1 said:I read that years ago! Theres some truth to it. Thats all I will say.
Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.
You've been "getting ready" for two years.
She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.
Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.
