Answer 1: (If this is your first Christmas together) Same thing you got me last year.Dante420 said:Sh!t test: What you getting me for Christmas?
Answer 2: I'm getting you out of those clothes.
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.

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.

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.
A white Christmas ......and a towel.Sh!t test: What you getting me for Christmas?
sorry... i guess what i meant was... "TIRED OF GETTING OWNED BY SH!T TESTS?!"Jitterbug said:Why would you be tired of sh!t tests?
Sh!t testing is a woman's way of (mentally) checking a guy out to see if he's the real deal, the equivalent of you checking out her cleavage or legs.
Get the attitude towards a woman's sh!t tests right, and you'll be able to handle them all with ease, instead of memorizing lines.
You should be worried when the woman you're pursuing or in a relationship with is not sh!t testing you at all. That usually means she's lost interest.
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.
"Then get me in a nicer mood."Energy25 said:I'm interested in this one because a girl once said it to me when I suggested we hang out.
Sh!t test: "You're always so mean to me."
"Ya me to, we should arrange a play date for them"I'm in the Mood said:"Then get me in a nicer mood."
This shyt test can be ignored though, you could have said "Yep, so when are you available? I can do Friday night, Saturday night or Sunday afternoon..."
Shyt tests can be ignored, like so and you dissolve her resistance this way.
Anyone have one for: "Sorry, I have a boyfriend."
No? Come on now.
