"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.

Just looking for a bit of guidance in this situation...

-Met this girl in the gym a couple weeks ago and we started talking
-Yesterday I said we should go out sometime and got her number
-Want to set up a date for NEXT Sunday

Should I hit her up this weekend, or wait till next week?
 

"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"

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.

Three day advance is normally enough. So say, Friday evening.
Setup too early and they can psych their way out of it.

Up to you para, if you think shes attracted enough it shouldnt matter either way.

Three days advance might be good for a weekday but is not a good idea for a weekend date.

Most women have their weekend plans finalized by thursday.

Ask her out wednesday...for sunday.

I actually meant text her THIS weekend, not next weekend. THIS weekend or next Wednesday.
 

"You Can't Argue a Woman Into Liking You"

You made your case like a lawyer. Stable job. Good guy. Ready for something real. All true. All irrelevant.

She weighed your points, nodded along, felt nothing — then fell hard for some tattooed bartender with a motorcycle and a gambling problem.

Logic is where attraction goes to die. The "22 Rules" work a level deeper, on the subconscious switches that decide within minutes whether you register as a MAN or as part of the furniture.

Stop presenting evidence. Start flipping switches.

Rather than immediately ask her out in the first text, I decided to send her a picture message/inside joke. No response all day. Lmao wooooow. Not sure if wrong number or just being ignored :confused:

Oh women...

I'd say call the number tomorrow. If no luck, ask her about it and get it straight next time you see her in the gym.

That happened to me. Not a good sign, so tread carefully.

Dude... seriously, why would you text her to ask her out? Texting KILLS relationships, as well as dating prospects. Furthermore, why would you just send her a picture? How the heck is she supposed to respond to that - with an "LOL" message? Is it supposed to turn her on?

The purpose of the phone is to use it as a tool to get the date - nothing more. And in this case you don't even need the phone - assuming you see her at the gym regulary, you could've just asked her out there. Regardless, you don't need to waste your time sending random texts to this chick in the hopes of building interest - that's what the DATE is for. Wait 3 days before you want to take her out to ask her out, then don't contact her again until you see her on the date. You will get better results if you stay off the phone LESS. Hope this helps!

Just to clarify, it was a pic with text. An inside joke. Not just a random picture lol.

And I "asked her out" at the gym, but decided to take her number so I could contact her and set it up later.

''Drinks my place?''

Text her that
An alt: "Drinks Thursday? 8:30pm @ wherever"

After SS taught me about using texting as a tool and NOT as a means of building attraction, I did exactly that last week. Got the number, sent a couple friendly messages back and forth, then, "Drinks Thursday? 8:30pm @ [bar across the street from my house]"

Ya agree. Texting is only used as a tool to meet in real life, in real life, that's when you can game her properly... a woman has a gazillion guys texting her at any one point, so you have to be assertive and set up a meet, or she'll catergorize you the same as the other afcs...

***UPDATE***

For anyone who cares, she got back to me. She sent me: "Hey! Sorry I was working all weekend it was nuts.Those are so funny haha" (in reference to my pic/inside joke).

She's definitely bullsh!tting.

That was earlier today. Didn't see her in the gym so when I got home I responded with a text trying to set up a date. I'll update with her response when I get it. Hopefully it takes her less than 48 hours to respond this time.
 

"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.

Those are some red flags but I hope it works out. If she takes too long to respond or making the plans don't come easy, be prepared to abort immediately before you get too attached. Just looking out for you, man :cool:

Yeah, I completely agree. If she says "she can't" and doesn't reciprocate it'll pretty much tell me everything I need to know. We'll see...
