If you only want her as a friend, it shouldn't matter. Besides, you can never know if she ACTUALLY likes you unless she outright says she does or starts doing things like kissing you.Vypros said:You're social experiment is causing her to like you.
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.

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.
Actually it DOES matter, because if the girl is starting to like him and he's just playing around with an experiment he is going to HURT her.jaymo said:If you only want her as a friend, it shouldn't matter.
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.
This is a good experiment but what I don't hear about you doing is going out and constantly meeting new women. I'm not trying to bring you down here because your experiment is great as far as having a friend goes but expanding your social circle will expand your inner-world too (Scientifically proven). Ie. The brain creates new maps and connections and expands based on your external world also.Jayer said:MacAvoy
you may be right. But does it matter as long as I'm the one in control?
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.

I have to agree. You post something new like after MONTHS. If you were really friends, you'd see her more than once every few months. This is a back burner relationship, nothing close to friendship.MacAvoy said:Sounds like your not good enough friends with her to get any benefits. It doesn't sound like your even in the friends zone, your in the semi-interested but he keeps sluffing me off, so I'll keep him on the backburner as a backup in case he ever smartens up kinda thing.
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.
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.
