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.
You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.
Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.
She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.
Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.
Well then now we are back to our original question-why give out the number in the first place if you have no interest?Johnnyventana said:She may also not feel the connection, but isn't looking to fk you.
She calls you when her car breaks down. When she needs help moving. When some guy she's actually dating treats her badly.
You're the listener. The reliable one. The guy who would treat her so much better, if she'd just open her eyes.
She won't. You trained her to see you as the low-effort option — the friend who requires zero risk and zero investment. Every favor dug the hole deeper.
The "22 Rules" break the pattern. You'll stop auditioning for a role she already cast and become the man she chases instead. It starts with Rule 1.
You make the good impresssion before the number close, so she actually does want to see you again. Make her want to hang out with you, not the other way around. She should be asking you when your free to hang, not the other way around. She should be begging you to free up your busy life to spend 1 precious hour with her just getting coffee so she can try and impress you and prove she is worthy of your attention.JPlaya said:well how you suppose to make a good impression if you can't get a date?
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.
Another thing for me, that's pretty much in the same vein, is when girls say OMG WE NEED TO HANG OUTTIC said:I think its stupid for women to give out their numbers but never follow up on it. You get their number send a few texts back and then she just stops responding. Why? Just don't give it out... you stupid b1tch
This is baffling to men. Men would never do such a thing. We are logical
On the other hand, a very large portion of men in this country need to gtfo because women have too many options which is the root cause of the flaking. Maybe if WW3 happens soon, we will become like russia and men will be in short supply because the rest died off in wars
Yup, it would literally take a world war for things to be fair in the dating scene for men
In all honesty, its really hard to make that good of an impression in a bar/club setting. You simply don't have the time or any kind of common bond other than drinking. Flake rates from bars are ALWAYS going to be sky high no matter what. For a lot of people its the only way to meet girls which is fine but you just simply need to accept that its a numbers game and you'll always have a low success rate getting numbers at bars.JPlaya said:well how you suppose to make a good impression if you can't get a date?
Not all guys are lucky enough that they're born with game (or common sense), or reach epiphanys luck Sosuave and other sites; most are exposed to the BS of western America, treating women like Queens everywhere. It almost seems like a conspiracy to me; maybe I've got selective perception, but I notice many commercials about anything, usually involving a husband and wife where the wife is complaining about the husband being a loser, or it is subtly displayed in the sketch.JdelaSilviera said:No Tic, you don´t need www3. Men just need to learn to live without sex, raise their standards, and stop pursuing any girl they talk to. If men continue to behave like horny dogs, women control will continue. The less care bout sex, the more you´ll have.
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.
