This seems a bit racist to me.
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.
Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."
You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.
She's been waiting forty minutes.
Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.
Nope. I don't dislike them because of their race, they're all my friends. But if I'm going to senior week to drink and bang for a whole 7 days I don't think they will be the best company.Jack Wealthy said:This seems a bit racist to me.
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.
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 feel like I'm reading the same **** over and over to be completely honest.BPH said:3/13/12
Today was decent.
Nothing much really went on at school, still getting IOIs from HB Katie. I feel like I'm probably in the friendzone with her, not that I really care.
Practice was pretty bad for me today. I was really screwing up as far as hitting, and started getting frustrated at the odd rotation. Was pretty glad when it was over.
Went to the shopping plaza up the street from me to get some ice cream. The weather was nice and I just started to notice that this may be a good place to do some approaches, after seeing quite a few cuties roaming about.
I'm having problems with senior week again. I called the people that listed the house and they told me they don't rent to high schoolers. I even made up a little story that we could get a 20something year old to sign for the house and would stay with us. They still declined...not sure if I should pursue this and lie or what...but if this house is a lost cause I'm pretty much back to square one...
That's about it for now, peace. Leave me stuff to read guys, haven't heard from anyone in a while.
Hahaha yeah he knows its easy, read his journal. BPH got an f-close off a cold approach.smithersonb11 said:Go out, cold approach at the mall or something. It's actually really easy, especially if you're good looking.
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.
I just like being direct when I show my interest.NorwegianDJ said:I do have to say that I facepalmed when you said 'cutie' and 'sexy'. It was good apart from that, maybe you should've just sent her a short text after she apologized. You're too easy to get, especially over text. You can still be sexual without giving up your challenge.
Did you read the bits about you? I gotta know if I would be able to come over on Saturday, also gonna need stuff like your number and address so I can better arrange this.LearningSlowly said:Yeah, but I agree with NDJ here. Go read some of Jaedon's texting, his stuff is super sexual and its gold. I don't think he says "sexy" much, but he's definitely being sexy.
When a woman says it, guys hear a confession. A heads-up. A scheduling conflict.
Here's the translation: I don't feel anything. Right now. With you.
Watch what happens when a man triggers actual attraction. The busy career, the recent breakup, the "not in a place to date" — all of it evaporates instantly. The same woman who was guarding her freedom is suddenly free every night.
The "22 Rules" explain why. When the right switches flip, her timeline rearranges itself around you.
