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.
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.
Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.
She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.
Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.
So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.
The words come later. The impression comes first.

To answer the question of this thread first: Hopefully before this year ends.ketostix said:About 21 for me. I missed several chances when I was 15-21.
I have a question, how many on here are still a virgin. What's the oldest virgin here? lol
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.

Exactly.comic_relief said:19.5 years old
I didn't feel any different after I lost my virginity. I was like, "This is it? It's no different than before."
It's not really that big of a deal, just everyone makes it out to be such a bigger deal than it really is.

It should be written, "Who" is the oldest virgin here. I think PuertoRican_Lover is the oldest virgin here!ketostix said:I have a question, how many on here are still a virgin. What's the oldest virgin here? lol
Well are you a virgin? If so, then the oldest virgin here is 45 but I have my doubts. Someone said Luke Sywalker is one so and I think he's 26 but he has verified. Other than that we have 21 as the oldest.Last Man Standing said:It should be written, "Who" is the oldest virgin here. I think PuertoRican_Lover is the oldest virgin here!
No, I"m 31 years old, thus I"m the oldest virgin on here.ketostix said:Well are you a virgin? If so, then the oldest virgin here is 45 but I have my doubts. Someone said Luke Sywalker is one so and I think he's 26 but he has verified. Other than that we have 21 as the oldest.
21! do I have 22 lol?
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.
