"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"

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.

Valentines Day 2006

"I just moved here from Florida."

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.

Heh.. AFCed my last V-day, when I took a friend of a friend out that I didn't know to well. Talked 90(me)-10(her) to her, and was suddenly surprised when there never was a follow up date after that. Hah. nervousness then, but that seems gone now.

:crackup:

Hopefuly, this year will yield better results. If not it's another year of single awareness day! Yay!
 

"Why Women Dump the Guys Who Try the Hardest"

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.

I'll probably just go to the gym and tell random hot girls "Happy Valentines day" inbetween sets.

But seriously, it's just another day of the year to me. Nothing inherently special about it.

Agreed. When your single it's nothing really. Doesn't bother me.

"Nervous Around Beautiful Women? There's a Rule for That"

I could talk to any woman I wasn't attracted to. Charming, funny, relaxed. Then a gorgeous woman looked my way and I'd become a sweating, babbling mess.

The fix took me years to find and ten minutes to learn. Nervousness and excitement are the same physical state — pounding heart, adrenaline, flushed face. Your brain just picks the label. And you can pick a better one.

Rule 16 shows you how. You feel the nerves, relabel them as excitement, and let that energy pour out as enthusiasm. Women notice the guy radiating it. They always do.

Haha.

Not unless I actually decide to quit playing and stick with one. Not likely by then.

When is valentine's day?

I probably won't celebrate it much. no GF at the current moment, although it is a good time to hit on girls.

I personally think that doing anything major on Valentines day is a complete waste of money!

Rose prices are astronomical, restaurants put on special menues that are ridiculously expensive, and you can never seem to find the right present.

From experience, trying to show your lady a "good" time on valentines day (present, dinner) is gonna set you back £250+.

I find that spending the evening indoors where you cook her a meal (even if it comes out crap, she will appreciate the effort), bottle of champagne, and some sexy underwear for her tends to do the trick. Present + dinner + champagne = less then £100.

+ having her in a comfortable environment is bound to lead to the bedroom, for sure!
