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.
You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.
Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.
Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.
Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.
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.
It's entirely unorganic. I believe the transexual movement might actually be the one to start the pushback. It's far too insidious of a movement in all of its dynamics and existence to just be tolerated. Even women are pushing back against it, and they are usually the frontrunners for pushing any lgbt directive. Granted, it's also women's fault for bringing it in.I was listening to talk radio today and they had mentioned going into Target and seeing a display right at the front, where there had never been a display before, and it was all clothes promoting transgenderism. Sayings and slogans on the shirts and such. These guys were talking about how this transgender thing came out of nowhere but has gone everywhere fast.
It's not just us, the manosphere, noticing this. However, the sheep will keep being sheep regardless....until they are slaughtered. Because that's what sheep do.
The pendulum should swing back....it will but when is the question....and at what cost.
Very strange times we are in.
The cost will be severe.

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.
This, it's ESGGotz to boost ESG scores somehow.
