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.
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'm not worried.DjSoOHain said:Ok..... i've seen about a million other forums that say that it is fake... whoever wrote this b.s. is a ****ing religious nutcase i personally think.. But you believe in what you believe but the message of the movie is the same ( THis world is fucin corrupt and only a small number of people control all of the power ) which is true!!! You know that most people these days all they do is watch tv, play games and let religion dominate all of their lives... They don't even question it.. shows you where this society is headed.... anybody agree ?
Attraction runs on a clock.
She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.
The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."
One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.
Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.
thx buddy!DjSoOHain said:Good ChrizZ I just found out what kind of person you are just from that statement... Best of luck to you
Anarchy and insanity is all around us.DjSoOHain said:nothings wrong with that ofcourse everybody gotta do them first.. but not 2 the extent where it starts 2 hurt millions of people and changes the course of a WHOLE COUNTRY!!!![]()
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 don't care about society.
I only care about myself.
A-freakin'-men. It's amazing to me how thin this notion of 'civilized society' is. One nudge, and people would be rioting in the streets.ChrizZ said:Anarchy and insanity is all around us.
Might as well say fvck it and just live in the moment!!!
