I assume s(he) would know a thing or two about men.
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.

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.
Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.
You've been "getting ready" for two years.
She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.
Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.
Women like these books because they invoke in them the true motivations behind their attraction. Women fantasize about taking the "Challenging Bad boy/Jerk" and capturing him for a relationship.Originally posted by Rollo Tomassi
I was at Barnes & Noble picking around in the psychology section and I swear to God every prominently displayed book title in the section was, "How to turn him into Mr. Right", "Fix Him", "Fixerupper", "12 steps to getting him to commit", and "Why men are bad and need you to correct their thinking" or some sh!t to that effect.

Had a look at the rules and they may be good for attracting AFCs. They ain't gonna with with any DJ and as anti-dump said: when two people are using tactics the answer is simple: She always loses and you move on. For a tactic to work, only one of them has to use one.Originally posted by Rollo Tomassi
This only irritated me because last weekend I was at Barnes & Noble picking around in the psychology section and I swear to God every prominently displayed book title in the section was, "How to turn him into Mr. Right", "Fix Him", "Fixerupper", "12 steps to getting him to commit", and "Why men are bad and need you to correct their thinking" or some sh!t to that effect. I wonder how quick I could get a book published titled "Put her off Forever" or "How to get that fat b!tch into the gym and fvck you like a porn star withouth marrying her" ? It's basically the same friggin' thing they're selling. [/B]
WHAT A CROCK OF SHYT! What kind of stupid punk-ass would make a life commitment to a woman he's known for only a year?8
If you've followed The Rules, your man probably loves you and wants to marry you. Your problem is not if he marries you, but when! If it's been more than a year, see less of him and think about dating others. You've already spent more than a year waiting for him to propose; do you have another year to wait?
