"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.

The three big rules

guys, there is no doubt in my mind that everyone should read this site, it helps a lot.

my story:

Freshman year was full of AFC activities and lsuting over a girl i was too scared ot talk to. i went to this site.

for a while, i didn't even know if i liked girls any more.

then i met one chick durign second semester softmore year, asked her out, got a date, still had soem AFC thigns. its ok, she was slutty, and its better that i did nothign with her. anyways, she was captain of the pom squad so the fact she went on a date bult soem confidence even tho i felt it when she said she didnt wanna see me any more. i got back up in a day.

then i dated two more chicks.

one turned out to be a nutbag, so i got rid of her, which, strangely kinda builds confidence cuz you now have standards.

another one who was nice but i jsut didnt like came along.

all of this building confidence.

i worked out, girls at my work were saying how cute i was, but work booty is the most volatile of all, plus i stil lwas at least a little AFC.

anyways, by then i had learnede a few important things.

1. The only time is now, strike whenever you have the chance (this is good for fighting too)

2. You are attractive to girls that you find attractive.

3. If women don't find you attractive, pretend you believe rule number two.


ok, so school starts again, and al lthese ladies are around and i feel me being more comfident and stuff, so at a party later on, i see a girl, and i say, she's pretty cute, why not ask her out. so i go over and say, " hi, whats your name" blah blah, (i stil lhave a little AFC but i have plenty o confidence), so i ask her do you have a date to homecoming, and she says no, and then i ask if she wants to go with me. WHILE I AM DOIUNG THIS I HEAR SOMEONE SAY "DONT EVEN TRY, (INSERT LAST NAME)." Then she says yes.

fro mthere its all hsitory, anotheri mportant thing is when i asked her if she woudl want to go out with me officially at homecoming, becuase she, before then, was palnning on it just beign a one time deal. but then she realized i wanted to go out with her. we date more, i end up asking her out, we are official, blah blah.

the important part is at the beginning.. LESS THAN TEN SECONDS AFTER DECIDNG I WANTED TO GO OUT WITH HER, I ASKED.

the reason this matters is because this girl i later found out had two other guys who liekd her, and both of them were planning on asking her at that party. one of which she actually had a crush on.

but i made an impression on her that i was, and i quote, " A breath of fresh air." so even tho she had a crush on someone who also had a crush on her, she decided to go to homecoming with me. i followed rule numbers one and three.




anyways, we have been together for nine months now and it is pretty darn serious. not to sould too optimistic but she might actually be the one.


lesson to be learned.

"strike when that iron is hotter than hell, cus it will only get more difficult, as can be seen from the other guys who waited."

oh.. and my three rules

1. The only time is now, strike whenever you have the chance (this is good for fighting too)

2. You are attractive to girls that you find attractive.

3. If women don't find you attractive, pretend you believe rule number two.

“The 22 Rules That Flip the Script With Women… And How You Can Use Them Tonight”

Most guys accidentally kill attraction before they even speak. They assume they need a bigger bank account, a better physique, or smoother lines. They miss the point.

Female desire operates on a specific set of psychological triggers.  Break them, and you're invisible. Follow them, and you become magnetic.

I learned this the hard way. Years of freezing up. Getting friend-zoned. Watching other guys walk away with the girl I wanted. Then I discovered a set of 22 simple rules that rewired my entire approach.

I like them, but the wording on number 3 could be revised to be more reasuring instead of possibly demeaning. can't think at the moment.

Dont lose focus my friend. that is in regards to your relationship.

in the only rule you must live by in this life, is Always be a DJ.

Follow that rule, and you will have no more questions.
 

"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.

This is not entirely the case... but not a bad attitude, though it will be easily grown out of.

2. You are attractive to girls that you find attractive.


This is absolutely wrong and misleading.

3. If women don't find you attractive, pretend you believe rule number two.


Way to make yourself look like an ass.

fine

yeah, i dunno, from my experience, it is always better to assume she has some interest in you.

if she doesnt, then you will find out quicky and you wouldnt have wasted time wondering and worrying.

wqiting for the right time was always my main killer because i would always fidn something wrong, so, thanks to this site, i decided i should just do it when i think of it, which is where i got my rule numebr one.

two and three are kinda stupid and maybe they are just there so it shows three rules, because three is a good number for rules.
 

"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.

Those rules might be true, but they are probably bull****, but hey "It doesn't matter if the cat is black or white as long as it catches mice".

I hope you learn alot from your relationship mate, good luck.
