"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.

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.
 

"She Laughed All Night. Then She Ghosted You. Here's Why."

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.

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.
 

"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"

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.

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.
 

"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."

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.

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? :)
 

"Nervous Around Beautiful Women? There's a Rule for That"

I could talk to any woman I wasn't attracted to. Charming, funny, relaxed. Then a gorgeous woman looked my way and I'd become a sweating, babbling mess.

The fix took me years to find and ten minutes to learn. Nervousness and excitement are the same physical state — pounding heart, adrenaline, flushed face. Your brain just picks the label. And you can pick a better one.

Rule 16 shows you how. You feel the nerves, relabel them as excitement, and let that energy pour out as enthusiasm. Women notice the guy radiating it. They always do.
