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 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.
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.
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.
Thank you, good luck yourself.Originally posted by Don_Joffe
Okay. Well you seem very confident, goodluck in your goals.
this whole thing holds only a little bit of weight on me, because my last serious relationship which ended because of distance needless to sayOriginally posted by frivolousz21
Im not a PIMP..even tho I could be...then again everyone on this forum on some level has that ability...wether they use it or not.
Im not trying to push my ideals onto anyone..Im just pointing out the best way to get the job done...I am telling you how much this works...
I believe the sosuave ideal is nearly perfect...but that is just me. Showing a girl that you can and will be the best guy to bend her over the couch will get her everytime...showing and telling are differnt things. I realize that we all want to be with someone smart, funny, intellectual and ATTRACTIVE..you can still get that girl and get her clothes off as fast as the ones who just want sex with you.
thats what im saying..the more she wants to get on her knees and suck ur ****..the better chance for you to get her heart as well...its true..the basic princibles of men and women are SEX and balance..left and right brains.
I wish everyone in here the best this yr!
as for my goals..just to keep my sex life good.and meet someone I can share this life withbut if that doesnt happen...some good ole hot sex will do!
im only 22.
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.

I can feel your frustation. That is why my favorite two comments are "Man-UP" and "Grab your balls and move".
Timid is not attractive, never have and never will be.
When you make a pass at a chick, even if she rejects it, you have set a precendence. You have established that you are not in this to be a friend but a lover. That is why you must always make a pass early to establish your intent.
Most fellows dont grasp this, but here's a universal truth-Women do believe in and try to get Male "friends". So no she doesn't assume that you are only in it for lover status, because women can have and do have in their minds male "friends".
Do Something!!!!!
On the money bro. So what if a couple of them are 'taken aback' by your boldness. This helps you weed out lukewarm interest.Originally posted by Royal Elite
Sounds good on paper pimpen but lets talk about reality. The guy who scores the most is the guy who goes in. I have gotten 100% more girls doing something over doing nothing. All that caution crap is for simps who dont realize that no one knows or even cares what is going on in your head but you.
A chick dont care if you waited 10 seconds or 1 second. She dont care if you are trying to put on a air of mystery by being aloof. When the world looks at you, all we say is look at this scared little coward.
