I am 28 and there is some hottie at work who is only 19. I get some good vibes from her...but I would feel like a perv going after a girl 9 years my junior. Any comments?
She says the movie looks dumb; you suddenly agree. She tests you with a little attitude; you apologize for nothing.
You think you're being easy to get along with. She reads something else entirely: a man with no edges. Nothing to hold on to. No friction, no tension, no reason to wonder what he really thinks.
The "22 Rules" taught me to push back — playfully, calmly, without needing her approval. Strange things happened after that.
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.
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.
I'm so sick of people always advising to go see other people when they are perfectly happy pursuing someone they actually like. It seems to be the universal answer on these forums 95% of the time "next her, find someone else!"is this girl the only "prospect" that you have?
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.
Very, very true!We coddle the youth of this country way too much. That's why we grow up to be pussies with problems.

The amount of prospects isnt an issue. If I like girl A I am going to go for girl A, and if there is a few problems along the way I'll deal with them. If you always quit as soon as there is any hiccup in your plans than I assume you'll always remain single because no one is perfect and no relationship is perfect.
Maybe this is why we keep getting "field reports" from the same people over and over. You'd think if they were actually good they would've found someone they like by now.
Well your are on the wrong board then, homo.Originally posted by Black_Italian
