"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.

in her drunken stupor of text messaging

"Hdy cn u maybe try n6u to make it awkward wen we se eachzther? Thnxks."


i was thinking about saying something like "if we're gonna be just friends i'm gonna treat you like one"

because thats basically what she wants now even though I know she wants it super bad.. its that she's talking with some little douchebag when we used to....

help on responses *****es. come up with something clever.

I'm not aware of your situation, even in the slightest, but "Ok, baby, I'll try and help you look sober. Can't have you embarrasing me in front of the whole cafeteria! :)" is a universally good answer.
 

"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.

6 is for mno
u is in the tuv
so she pressed the buttons a few times too many (remember she's typing on a cellphone)

Anyways, she wants you to be cool with her. Don't think about it, don't look for snazzy comments, don't keep thinking about it. Just NEXT!

Man.. she's drunk. Most women don't usually "remember" things when they're drunk, or claim that it was the alcohol that caused their actions... just ignore it. If you try to ask her what she meant, she'll probably just say she was really drunk and doesn't remember.

i'd say your response to that txt message directly relates to your entire situation.. you gotta let us kno what happened to that relationship...

i wouldn't respond at all.

backstory: talking to a girl.. goes on a date with another guy while we were dating... she blew me off.. she keeps poppin into my life.. she wants it bad... im not gonna give it to her... she is suddenly starting to realize it.
 

"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"

Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.

You've been "getting ready" for two years.

She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.

Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.

Tell her if she wants to talk , she has to be sober. Otherwise you're just gonna ignore her.

You could stop overthinking things and maybe just not be awkward around her? Casual is one of my favorite words. :cool:

irrelevant, but question out of curiosity.

penkitten, how would that be a test? :)
 

"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"

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.
