No no, you just need to get yourself a sense of humor.

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.

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.
Ok Doc Humor, whatever floats your boat.Originally posted by ( . )( . )

I like what a psychologist said about this in an interview:Originally posted by DonJohn83
I can understand the guy...
There are guys out there (i am one of them) that consider sex to be serious.
Reason: What about sex without love?
Nathaniel Branden: What about it?
Reason: Do you approve of that?
Branden: What am I, your mother? Are you asking my permission? Of course there can be sex without love....the question is not: sex with or without love?--but rather: sex with or without personal involvement? Sex without personal involvement, sex between two people who...are not interested in each other as persons, is degrading to both participants. However, it happens between people who are married all the time.
1. Who initiated the subject?we were taking about sex
2. This means that he is not interested in having sex with you. He superimposed "someone" instead of "ShortyBrown" to "save face". Think about it for a moment, if you were sitting around chatting with some guy you were really hot for - the last thing on your mind or the the last thing you would say to him would be something like the quote above.i'd rather get a little head or something from someone who I'm not sure about than phuck em."
3. It's been five months, he hasn't tried to shag you. You two are alone talking about sex and he follows up this five month lag of no sex withit's beenfive goddamn months
SB, do you now see the connection?i'd rather get a little head or something from someone who I'm not sure about than phuck em."
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.
Nah, he'd go for both. Shorty probably covered it right. He sounds like a feminized (or de-male-itized) specimen to me.Originally posted by Crotch Sniffer

4. He found someone more attractive than you.
Sorry..someone had to say it.
Hunny, you're a little ballsed up. I have known the fella for over a month. I have not done the deed in five months. ( I did not make that known to him by the way.)Originally posted by BrWnSugaMan
Shorty Brown,
This is very simple. Just stop, and think about what happened that night. Here, I will help you out:

*This guy did not "string" you along. Guys don't pretend to be interested in girls only to turn down sex - especially after waiting five months. That is time that could be spent pursuing sexually valuable women.
*Not many men or women for that matter will straight tell someone they are not interested in relationship | sex | etc. because both men and women know it is a hurtful thing to do. Instead, men and women use certain "cues" to save face in such situations.
I hope my advice has given you a little bit of insight into your problem, and I wish you better luck in future relationships.
haha, you are just like all the other guys who need help...Originally posted by ShortyBrown
The pieces always start to fit way after the event! I have since summised:
-That he was so keen to stick his tounge down my throat in a public bar to get his azz seen. Male attention w-hore.
-That perhaps I was not clued into some little test he was giving me, and I falied. Oh dear my life is over. Whatever.
-I was too intimidating in my approach to him and he backed up.
-We are incompatiable in what we want. I don't want a commited thing, and he is after just that. Never mind.
Exactly. That's what WOMEN do. How does it feel to be on the other side of the coin, Shorty? The one that's face down in the muddy turf?Originally posted by BrWnSugaMan

But I always make it clear from people right from the start that I am not afraid to speak my mind and I expect the same from them.
That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?
She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."
She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.
I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.
Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.
Too true!Originally posted by ShortyBrown
One day, when you think about the time you all wasted being narrow minded and playing dumb ass power games with women when you could've been screwing her silly, you'll be severely pissed off.
--Silquee SmooveThis is a waste of thread space over an open/shut situation.
LOL I have been saying that since she started posting here.Originally posted by princelydeeds

All it proves is the human capacity to rationalize about something they don't like. They examine everyone's failure except their own. You got dumped and you can't deal, so you blame 'narrow-mined men' as your problem. Have you ever considered that the common denominator to every one of your failed relationships is YOU?Originally posted by ShortyBrown
Proves my point again, a lot of guys can't deal with women who are sexually forward. It openly challenges your nature to hunt and conquer and you hate it. It's still too threatening for some of you.

What your mind doesn't want to accept here is the possibility that someone rejected you because they thought you weren't good enough for them. Men don't mind sexually forward women -- as long as they are attracted to those women. Accept the fact that this guy probably wasn't attracted to you and move on.
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.
