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.
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.
I'm sure you'll solve this soon enough. Try not to label yourself as someone who is bad with females. Remind yourself that if was just a skill deficiency, not a problem with you as a person.I was never good with girls &
...after that, I screw it up.
one word.... NEXT.When I get to the club she starts talking to her friend and 10 minutes later is hooking with him!
I wouldn't waste any more energy on her. Focus on improving your ability to handle all women. (ie not just trying to figure out one girl in particular)Should I still try to hook with her?

Sounds like good advice. Thanks man!I wouldn't waste any more energy on her. Focus on improving your ability to handle all women. (ie not just trying to figure out one girl in particular)
Sounds like she craves attention. She probably wants to flirt with both of you and make you two compete over her.Originally posted by Pipizito
She just called and said "Do you wanna come to my house? (Name of the guy he hooked with) is coming, but you can come too if you want.." I just kept thinking "Damn *****!" but said "No thanks, gonna play paintball with a bunch of friend." This girl is suck a slut its unbelivable!
Most guys accidentally kill attraction before they even speak. They assume they need a bigger bank account, a better physique, or smoother lines. They miss the point.
Female desire operates on a specific set of psychological triggers. Break them, and you're invisible. Follow them, and you become magnetic.
I learned this the hard way. Years of freezing up. Getting friend-zoned. Watching other guys walk away with the girl I wanted. Then I discovered a set of 22 simple rules that rewired my entire approach.

Also, I don't know if you have checked but there is a high school forum. You would probably find feedback there that is more relevant to your situation in life. Not that handling women varies that much when you get older, it is just that high school usually has its own set of problems:
-popularity contests
-rumors
-girls only dating older guys with cars
-in crowd and out crowd
Have fun at paintball!
