DoubleA
Senior Don Juan
Is it possible to turn a chic out? Maybe to the point of being stalked? Anyone have any experience with this...
Just making small talk. :nervous:
Just making small talk. :nervous:
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'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.
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.
Ahhh , how sweet , she Aint Ready to be a Marine Yet.Victory Unlimited said:The reason why it takes an army to keep her away from me is because she has just ENLISTED...and she will be leaving for Boot Camp and a four year tour of duty in TWO WEEKS!!!!!! LOL
Your name makes me think of the old Sol Invictus, is that where you got it from?Victory Unlimited said:But no, she is not stalking me yet. BUT, the only thing that is keeping her from doing it is the sheer power of the United States Army. What do I mean? Do I mean that it takes an army to keep her off of me? My ego wants to say YES, but alas, the answer is NO.
The reason why it takes an army to keep her away from me is because she has just ENLISTED...and she will be leaving for Boot Camp and a four year tour of duty in TWO WEEKS!!!!!! LOL
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.
