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.
She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.
Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.
The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.
Some form of playing games is not necessarily IOD, but it is behavior that as soon as you encounter it, you should let women know only ends up not taking them seriously. It is true though, that the higher the IL, the less game playing she'll pull.When she has sex with you, and even then it's not a sure IOI.
I'd also say not confusing you.
There are a bunch of sure IOD's such as:
1. Flaking
2. Making excuses
3. Not returning your calls
4. Playing games
5. This list can go ad infinitum.
Case closed.
You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.
For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.
Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.
The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.
This happens to me today , IOf course there are the obvious one--eye contact, hair playing, finding excuses to talk to you, etc. But there's a couple that you might mistake for negative interest.
For me the #1 sign of a girl's sexual interest is that she gets offended/pissed/frustrated at something I say really early on in the interaction. Seems a little counter-intuitive, but it's indicative of heavy investment before she even knows who you are--to the extent that her reaction is totally disproportional to the situation (often harmless, maybe ambiguous remarks). It's kind of a case where she throws the whole **** test upfront (she's subconsciously giving you an opportunity to provide her with a rapid DOWN/UP emotional experience where the only way to totally diffuse the situation is sex).
Another one that guys might confuse with disinterest is when a girl is visibly conflicted--maybe even avoiding you or a situation where the two of you might end up alone, avoiding eye contact, or becoming really quiet. Basically making every effort to put on the breaks because she knows that if she puts herself in that position she won't be able to stop herself from being carried away by her natural desires.
But really you should focus more on if she's doing enough to interest you instead of figuring out her levels of interest. In a lot of cases, dudes are approaching too late (waiting on signs from her) and bailing too early (mistaking more complex emotional reactions for disinterest), limiting themselves to only the really obvious lays.
