"The Kiss of Death Mistake"

You replay the conversation at 2 a.m. She texted back fast yesterday. Today, nothing. Was that smile friendly or flirty? What did the shoulder touch mean?

Every hour you spend decoding her signals drains your confidence and hands her the controls. Women can sense that insecurity from across the room — and it repels them.

One of the "22 Rules" kills the obsession on the spot: assume she likes you, and act accordingly. Sounds too simple. Works anyway.

Her interest tends to rise to meet your expectations. Psychologists call it a self-fulfilling prophecy.

Suggestions for a text?

Can someone give me a good suggestion for a text to send a HB without looking desperate. I tried to set up a date with her last week by text (she didn't pick up my call and appears to want to do it by text) but she said she was busy with presentations at work etc so next week would be better (i.e. this week) i told her 'yeah cool, get in touch next week'

that left it open ended that i could either contact her or she could. i wanted to test if she would contact me but i rather take control and set up a date tomorrow. what should i send her? i dont want to set up the date straight away by text, it seems too keen, i should build rapport first at least with 1 text.

should i send a 'hey, how are you>?' or something more personal to her.
 

"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"

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.

I wouldn't be texting her more than once a day if she hasn't replied back to my last text.

Building comfort is always better in PERSON than in a text.

Just send something small, light, interesting and funny to get her attention and get back to building some attraction with her, cos right now you're a little more invested in her than she is in you.

"Hey, how are you" puts you straight into the average guy collection and is begging to get one-worded replies.

~Is saying something like 'so when are me and you going for that drink?' sounding too desperate?

I mean she was the one who sent 'lets talk next week' do i need to send 1 text before the 1 above before i ask her out again?

use something with a sexual innuendo that you've used with her in person before with a winky face. easy easy easy
 

"You Can't Argue a Woman Into Liking 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.

lol please. get out of here with the anti texting message. texting is an art and emoticons are a medium, as oils are to painting. if you can learn to use them correctly then you can get to a point where every text you send is flirty and fun. that's where you want to be.

There is something very weak and feminine about emoticons.

Definitely no good.

The only time i would ever use one (winky face) is during dirty talk, and only when im not sure whether or not im pushing the boundaries too far. Which is me being unconfident and therefore emoticons show insecurity.

Lesson: dont use.
