"You Can't Argue a Woman Into Liking You"

You made your case like a lawyer. Stable job. Good guy. Ready for something real. All true. All irrelevant.

She weighed your points, nodded along, felt nothing — then fell hard for some tattooed bartender with a motorcycle and a gambling problem.

Logic is where attraction goes to die. The "22 Rules" work a level deeper, on the subconscious switches that decide within minutes whether you register as a MAN or as part of the furniture.

Stop presenting evidence. Start flipping switches.

So I got to talking with the new bartender at work. We talk for a few weeks while working, go out on night she gives me her number. Flirting at work, kino, touching me while talking, compliments. So we decided to go out one night, she said she wanted to watch this movie with me. Even better I think. So I agree to that on saturday. Last night we are supposed to go watch the movie together. She calls me around 5 all happy and saying how shes excited etc. Im in a good mood. "Huzzuh!" I said to myself. Shes showing interest. Calling me 1st to confirm!I told her Id call her when I got off work around 9. So I do. No answer. I leave a message. Figuring she might be getting ready etc. I wait an hour. Try once more, no message. Then go out with other friends. No phone call! NOTHING!

So today I get a text. "Im SO sorry about last night. I got sick and went to sleep around 8 and didnt wake up" *gag* So I reply "You sounded fine at 5, I get the point"......she replies "U ass =( " what the hell?.........
 

"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.

If she counteroffers your still good. If she plays it like you have yellow fever and is avoiding you, then next her.
