"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.

Hey guys,

Met a hot girl from online. 31 years old. We met last night for wine. Great chemistry. We made out 2 times in the bar, then we joked we should continue in the backseat of my car. We did. Heavy petting. Her rubbing my ****. Then she backed off, we walked to her car, and went home.

I thought this was in the bag.

Text at 8am: "Hey [my name]. Had fun, but Im gonna see where it goes w this guy I recently met. Thx for last night best of luck to u! :)"

What the **** just happened. And what should my response be? There was definite sexual chemistry.

Or do I just ghost?

Thanks guys
 

"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"

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.

It doesnt matter what happened. She is not interested. Dont text her.....who knows maybe down the road she texts you. And you can respond with the ever sly "who is this?"

She didn't ask for any response in her text, so don't.

You could try to keep her engaged in conversation, but until she knows if she'll get anywhere with the other guy, you'll just be wasting your time.
 

"She Laughed All Night. Then She Ghosted You. Here's Why."

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.

Not sure how to keep her engaged when she drops that bomb. Risk looking whining or needy?

In this situation I like writing back, "Good luck with that."

It's a civil sendoff but the semi-sarcastic tone tells her that you know whoever this other guy is can't hold a candle to you. Best case scenario you implant that in her head, it sabotages her relationship with this other guy, and she comes running back to you, the super confident man.

Sounds like an absolute power trip for her. I wouldn't be surprised if she has a bf or a guy she's been seeing that pissed her off. So she's going to take it out on someone else.

Atleast she had a little bit of decency & told you straight up. Sh*t she could of strung you along like some do. This isn't a hint, it's overt.

Idk, I might respond with a Thanks & leave it at that. GHOST

Thanks. I went with "good luck with that"

Maybe it'll sprout something
 

"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.

I would say nothing. Keep her hamster spinning about whether you are talking to other women. She obviously liked you enough to mess around with you in your car, so I would not lose hope. Let her come back to you...let go of her in your head and do not jump on your feet if she contacts you. Be really cool about it and take a little longer to respond to the initial text. If she calls, let it go to voicemail and call her back later.

I would probably not respond at all. It's not a question.

Date other girls. If this were some fat chick would you be posting about it on this site?

If you genuinely tried to escalate, it is what it is. You went as far as you could.
She just dumped you.

It doesn't matter what you say or do now; it's over. Either let it go or F with her hamster....

HB: I'm gonna see how it works out with this other guy.

Mike: Yeah me too. I'm probably gonna turn gay now. Bye.

HB: <WTF? Am I THAT bad lol?>
