"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"

Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."

You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.

She's been waiting forty minutes.

Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.

When you are being aggressive, do they laugh?

Does it happen to you?

Often, when I call a chick and spend time talking with her for like 30 seconds, just to set up a date, I use commanding voice "Be at bla bla at 10, don't be late" and just practically tell them what to do.

Well, they LAUGH. They do exactly as I say, but often even in person when I command them they get SHOCKED and then start laughing.

Is this normal? Or are they making fun of me being aggressive? They always end up playing along with "yes, captain!" or "yes, sir!" but still laugh...
 

"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.

Babnik how old are you?
 

"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.

What matters more: how long have you been in this country? There is something in your voice and demeanor that people find aggressive, and it's probably cultural.

But hey, if they're laughing, that is actually a good thing. . . .

No, I am saying I try to be this way. I don't tend to ask a girl, I tend to tell her like "Come with me, do this, invite me, do this" and they like it, but they also laugh at it. Its just I can't figure out whether they laugh because they like it or because they are not taking me seriously. Regardless, they still do what I tell them to!

I can very much relate to this behaviour and I think I know EXACTLY where they're coming from. When you command people to do things you're trying to take the role of dominance. Most people don't like being dominated so easily, because it's demeaning. If they were to follow your command without complaint it's being submissive, if they resist your command they feel like a douchebag.

Laughing takes the tesnion away from the situation. They still do what you tell you to do but they laugh to verify that they are not intimidated by you and you are not their master.
