...do you find they constantly give off mixed signals? This one I am dating doesn't seem to be very consistent.
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.
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.
Fair comment~ªêQµïTª$~ said:I think that in future if you gave more information and background on your situation I/we would be able to help you out more.![]()
Dinner ran three hours. She laughed at everything. You walked her to her car thinking this one's locked in.
Then: nothing. Two texts. No reply. What happened?
You did what most men do on a great date. You filled every silence, answered every question, and left her with nothing to wonder about. No mystery. Nothing to sit with when she got home.
Rule 3 of the "22 Rules" changes the ending: tell her a little, hold back the rest, and let her imagination do the chasing. The ghosting stops too.
Is that not going against DJ principles? Surely you shouldn't succumb to attention seeking from a woman?~ªêQµïTª$~ said:hmm... I think that what she was looking for was a responce similar to "Well if you need more attention from me, then you'll get it, and I"ll give it to you with pleasure, I was just not 100% sure if I should give you AS much attention because i wanted to know if you were into me as much as I am into you.... And I'm not your ex, You dont have to tell me things more than once"
That way she would melt in your arms, and you will get her, which is what you want, right?
Anyways, keep up the good work
Laterz...
You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.
Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.
She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.
Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.
f*ck the DJ principles... They are there to guide us, not rule our lives. And I say tell them what they wanna hear... I mean.... why do what the DJ principles say and end up NEXTING her, when U can do what I say and have them come home with you?disfunktional said:Is that not going against DJ principles?

Wise words, I agree. Standing back and looking at it now, although I was attracted to her, we didn't really have all that much in common, plus she was 7 years older than me, and nearly at the stage of settling down for a family and childern. What I should have done really is finished it myself. Maybe sometimes you get stuck on the attraction without thinking about it enough?Macgyver said:While introvert/shy girls may take 50-100% more effort than an outgoing/extrovert girl, the fundamental principle in finding a good LONG TERM RELATIONSHIP is "What you have in common with each other" - This is the missing step in most DJ techniques/bible which focuses on "Can you get that girl."
My understanding through my dating history is that the more you have in common as well as intellectual compatibility with a particular girl with adequate attractiveness, the more likely you will have a good chance of having a relationship with her. I mean, can you imagine seeing a computer nerd dating a party girl? I'm not saying you should sell yourself short, but you should sell yourself realistically.
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.
