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.
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.
It's alright in theory but the question is how often they can get away for a tryst. You'll more than likely need to adjust your schedule to meet hers.muscleman said:I know it's advised getting with single moms for obvious reasons, but what are your thoughts on a casual sex with one as long as she knows it's nothing more? Or is that still an unnecessary complication?
There's a lot of guys in the forum who seem to believe that any type of sexual contact you have with a woman binds you to her like some type of horny lap dog. If you just want to play hit and run I say go right ahead. The thing with single mothers though is their limited amount of availability which effect spontaneity. Do you think you'd ever be able to call her on a random night for a quick booty call?muscleman said:So I read some of the other material here and I'm only looking at this from the perspective of gettin some. No dating ever. Just some casual sex once, maybe twice. I would be completely up front about it and if it's a go it's a go, if not forget it.
Maybe I should just give it a rest it seems complicated already and I haven't even done anything.
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.

See, told 'ya. It's not that what DevanE said wasn't necessarily true but you had said that all you wanted to do is bed them without getting into a relationship and he's talking about raising some other man's offspring.DevanE said:...You don't EVER want to get in a relationship with a single-mother because frankly you DON'T need to raise another man's child it's his job. You also have to remember to keep ALL contact AWAY from the child, pretty much you don't exist to this child because once he/she sees you a couple of times "leaving" in & out of their mother's room he/she will begin to associate you as taking a role and begin to develop behaviors associated with the parent so you'd rather NOT get in a situation like this to begin with and develop that false sense of security in that child nor would you let a child THINK that it's ok for there mother to be with a man they don't really know. You get what I'm saying...?
Yeah but muscleman straight away said casual sex and nothing more without getting with them for obvious reasons and the first thing you bring up is relationships with them. C'mon, it's pretty funny, isn't it?DevanE said:Cisco I don't really follow what your saying...? because I DID mention about his certain situation as well. ...
