"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"

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.

Oh man. Had a date with a broad tonight. Super hot Tinder pics and them DAMN. Hit every branch when she fell off the ugly tree. Woof.

That's it. No insightful observations. Just DAMN.

Son of a *****. Talked about super depressing **** just to get rid of her. Mother of Pearl. And too late to call a backup! ****!
 

"I'm Not Looking for Anything Serious Right Now"

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.

Just started with Tinder recently, haven't had a date yet, but that was always the nightmare with online dating. Had some of those, a few times I couldn't even believe it was the same person. Had to go back and study the pics. Chicks these days. I eventually started asking for another pic before we met. I'd get her number then ask her to send me one over. If they refused, which they rarely did, then I would refuse the date ;)

Last thing you want to do is get stuck with a chick, just going through the motions, knowing you're never going to see her again.

But hey, thanks for the warning/reminder!


How long you been on there? How's it been so far, other than the recent catastrophe?

I've been on for about a week and a half, been semi-active. I've notice there seems to be alot of quality, and a lot of younger chicks. I've gotten three numbers so far. One chick semi-flaked, another one we couldn't find a time we're both available but she wants to meet this weekend. The third one was going out of town and I haven't heard from her since she was supposed to be back. All three pretty much look like 7's. I've matched up with a few 8's, one of them thought she was queen of the castle, and we got into a debate about something (I ended up owning it :up:) never heard from her again haha, didn't matter, I had more fun putting her in her place ;) The other 8, I'll message tomorrow. I guess it's going pretty much as expected so far, could be better though.

Been on a couple months. Had a few bangs. Both batshvt but who cares? I like your idea of another pic. These other pics were obviously YEARS old. DAYUM!

It's not bad as a passive option... and it doesn't cost like match. Mehr. Whatever. It doesn't really factor much into my regular game.

well if anything its a learning experience.

I remember leaving a date like that and though I carried ALL
the conversation (a testament to what I learned here btw)

I couldn't wait for the lunch to be over, she knew it too after
I told her I had to "go help my brother."

I was so depressed later that day for the time wasted, but
again a good practice on my "talking to strangers" social skills at the time.

Yeah, sucks when you meet and for whatever reason you're not into each other (or maybe she's just not into you)... but the girl doesn't even try to have a good time. Doesn't ask any questions, initiates nothing. But doesn't outwardly want to leave either. And of course usually declines to pay for anything. Apparently her payment is allowing you to waste your time on someone who is f**king boring.
 

"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."

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.
