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.

Yes Bradd.. Seriously a relationship with this chick obviously is out of the question, without a doubt..soulfourge what are you fvcking crazy? You can't get into a relationship with this woman. Just keep fvckin her. Whenever she offers to help you paint your house just tell her "no I'm good." And that's it.
She offers to come over when you don't want her to? Tell her you're busy working or out with friends. My favorite excuse is working out at the gym, because then I don't have to answer my phone for a few hours. Don't reject her all the time, but just enough to keep her from coming over all the time. When you do meet up with her, do something nice for her and then pound the living brains out of her in the bedroom. And in this situation, MAKE SURE you spin plates and don't develop feelings for this girl. Once you develop feelings for a slvt mark my words you will be coming back here for months writing up threads about how miserable you are and why didn't she pick up her phone and how she keeps dumping you and why is she so fvcked up.
The two biggest warning signs of bad girlfriend material are (1) an extremely slvtty past (to be determined by your own moral veiwpoint) and (2) lack of a father figure in her life.
You have been duly warned. And if she really starts bringing up commitment and a relationship etc, just tell her to take it slow because you just got out of a very long painful relationship that was really hard on you.
Yeh fam, I just wana have a little fun, keep her in rotation as a plate.. she likes to be treated like a sluut... why not just give her what she wants!!treat her like the slut she loves to be bro. dont need to complicate this chit. let your FA bros have a swing at her...its the right thing to do. lol.
......probably no point in reading any further.01. Met her on pof
Be disciplined....if you must continue with her as a plate (WHICH YOU SHOULDN'T BUT NOT FOR THE REASONS THAT YOU THINK), keep it at a maximum of once per week. Be strong in this....You've got to learn to say NO. You can only see her max once a week.....Well i have been banging her once or twice a week, for the last 3 months..
No other c0ck in the bedroom policy. To even suggest this she should be kicked to the herb. Can't understand fellas that are happy with other c0ck in the bedroom. That's a line that does't need crossing.She is happy to have 2-3 guys fukking her at once, with me present with her off course.
So now this chick wants to see more and more of me.. she wants me to go on holiday with her.. wants to decorate my house for me..
She's pushing her frame. You accept her frame (weak) or you demonstrate a stronger frame (yes)
The question remains.......How solid and defined is your frame?
Do you even know..........
If you're spinning plates without exclusivity why should you care what's she's doing...
Have you ever thought about....em.....wrapping it up yourself.
Personal opinion? This is a great opportunity for you to demonstrate that you're a man with a backbone and a man capable
of creating options....
......Cut her off. Sacrifice this one for your own self esteem. Show you're capable of letting it go and get another.
You'd like to think that wouldn't you.....Lol, plate. Ur smarter than to even need to ask.
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.
You'd like to think that wouldn't you.....
This is the same guy who's pining for a 52 year old alcoholic slag who dumped him....
Baby steps.....

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.
Just give excuses. Wrap it up, you're a busy man with work and can't hang more than 1-2 times a week. She's pushing for exclusivity and it bothers you cause it's way too fast. You're still casually dating and banging. If she was serious about a relationship she would've ditched the other dudes long ago.Your right man... I know this is wall to wall red flags.. sex is crazy.. but chicks like this always result in trouble!
I'm taking 10 steps back.. I'll drop her ass if need be..
Thank you guys.. I needed the wake up call...
Man i love this forum!

Her asking for a relationship after 2-3 months makes her sound like she's 22 or so. She's going back and forth with emotions and is impulsive. Keep her as a plate, but watch out for erratic behavior and princess syndrome.
Really? and yet four months later, he's writing post after post about her in the no contact thread....He dumped her
I need to explain.. it was ME who suggested to her that she takes part in a 3sum and 4sum with me..
So you wanted to bang her......with your MALE FRIENDS.......So the gang bang is cancelled lol... i will have to disappoint my mates...
Do yourself a favor. Forget about a relationship with anybody. Just completely get it out of your head...I may aswell continue banging her, but i ABSOLUTELY do not want a relationship with her.
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.
