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.
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.

I could talk to any woman I wasn't attracted to. Charming, funny, relaxed. Then a gorgeous woman looked my way and I'd become a sweating, babbling mess.
The fix took me years to find and ten minutes to learn. Nervousness and excitement are the same physical state — pounding heart, adrenaline, flushed face. Your brain just picks the label. And you can pick a better one.
Rule 16 shows you how. You feel the nerves, relabel them as excitement, and let that energy pour out as enthusiasm. Women notice the guy radiating it. They always do.
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.
Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.
She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.
Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.
So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.
The words come later. The impression comes first.
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?
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.
Jayer said:I see this girl as only a friend
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.
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.
