"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.

Right.. Straight to the point to save all the jibber jabber ;)..

I have recently met this girl and we seem to be texting each other quite allot recently, (I know that can be a bad thing) however when I mean "we" I actually mean her, shes been texting me pretty much every other day, and she always texts me first, I of course text her back but before i can break it off she breaks it off instead.

I want to text her by surprise.. when she doesnt expect it, but how the heck can i do that when she beats me to it? should I just let her text me all the time or should I just text her? or perhaps ignore her for one day then text her tomorow?

I obviously don't want to seem clingy cos thats a really bad thing. Any ideas on this texting scenario?

"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.

1) don't worry about it. You have bigger fish to fry
2) go ahead and take her out on a date while her interest is still there.
3) try 3 AM, she WILL get caught by surprise then ;)
4) ignoring helps if you want to add to the "mystery" so she wonders what you are up to.

Basically, text her when YOU want to, not when you think she wants you to.

@ Bolded stuff, YES.

Agreed to all your points except 3), there's a pretty big chance that you could look like a creep and/or wake her up.

LewisDJ I can only hope you start showing more interest in her as a woman rather than keep texting till you fall to the friendzone, and that means taking her out to spend time with her. You have the momentum as she is showing interest and you need to seize it before its too late!
 

"I'm Not Looking for Anything Serious Right Now"

When a woman says it, guys hear a confession. A heads-up. A scheduling conflict.

Here's the translation: I don't feel anything. Right now. With you.

Watch what happens when a man triggers actual attraction. The busy career, the recent breakup, the "not in a place to date" — all of it evaporates instantly. The same woman who was guarding her freedom is suddenly free every night.

The "22 Rules" explain why. When the right switches flip, her timeline rearranges itself around you.

Don't text her. Call her. Texting for conversation is insecure and beta, and should only be used for really quick, convenience type things.

I realize all this 'DJ advice' about not texting and you guys have a point. However in the real world most guys I know texted their girl a lot before they got together. If texting is 'insecure and beta' then why is it getting all my mates and myself girls?

The problem is if you don't esculate, or don't see her in person (or make an effort to), or even worse you see her and don't do anything.

It's not like texting never works, or always screws up your chances, but most of the time, calling will have a better effect.

Hey, thankyou for all your advice, ideas & views on this topic ;)

Well we have only been texting each other for about almost Two Weeks now, and I am most certainly not gonna screw this up, I'm confident enough to ring her up tonight and just talk the talk, keeping in mind, not to make the conversation long, and not to talk about anything bad, and when the conversation gets interesting, *ive simply got to go* :cool:

Quick note, I think she does know that i am slightly interested in her (but still remain mysterious), and I know shes interested in me.

This will all go well my friends...

Good Luck Bro.
 

"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.
