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.
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.
Please, for the love of god, stop trying to tell people about something you OBVIOUSLY KNOW NOTHING ABOUT. The only thing women know how to do is cheat on their bfs? LTS doesnt have any excitement? Real LTR's can turn out to be bad? Only a few, very very few women are good women. Where do you come up with this sh*t? And why do you believe it?antidonjuan said:Do you know anything about the nature of women? the only thing they know is to cheat on their boyfriends, real LTRs can easily turn out to be bad. Women cheats on their boyfriends. Only a few, very very few women are good women. LTR doesn't have any mystery and excitements and are only a waste of time in high school. Please don't use these words to me because I am a 9th grader. I noe you have more experiences than me, but if you wanna argue, argue the right way and tell me what I'm saying is incorrect. The point of you posting on is to teach us the right way, if you wanna tell me that i noe nothing about LTR, explain it to us, don't put a 9th grader down like that!
If you find what i'm saying incorrect, correct me then and teach me the right way. all of what you posted on this thread are useless sentences that puts me down but u never tought us anything about LTR (benefits, pros and cons)
i am only putting my own opinion, i'm here to learn.
i'm a junior.Jokerlsk said:I dont understand why but all of my friends and peers surrounding me believe that having a gf is everything. My friends earlier this week were acting like something was wrong with me because I never have long relationships. Dont get me wrong, i do go out but i never really go out with the same girl again. Does not needing a girl make me weird or something? And if it helps im a softmore.

I am trying to tell you you're incorrect, but instead you try and challenge me like you actually have some knowledge in this area..
You are entilted to an opinion yes, but don't sit here and try to feed other people completely wrong bullsh*t that are actually trying to learn something real.. not whatever crazy speculations you have come up with on the female race. You have a lot of learning to do.
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.
Let me say this again, I am not saying that LTR is completely useless, I said: if you find it interesting about LTR and you get happiness from it, I won't try to do anything about it. Note, I posted my own OPINION of what I believe and backed it up with a reasonable source.playa99 said:lol antidonjuan you cannot judge unless you have experienced an LTR you are living by the rules, so what if some guy on the internet says you shouldnt have an LTR. If you have not EXPERIENCED one you cannot judge whether you should or shouldn't have one GET EXPERIENCE!!!!
Once again..My beliefs, opinions, and points come from FIRST HAND EXPERIENCE.. you're trying to argue with someone that has actually tried it.. you haven't had a LTR.. Please don't try to argue with me about LTRs if you're also going to post new forum topics asking about them.. it just further reinforces that you have absolutely no idea what a true LTR is and what you can get out of one.antidonjuan said:splinter, if you wanna argue, back up ur point, you are such a terrible advisor with no proves, I suggest you re-read all the stuff in here including the bible cuz the more opioniated you are, the more arrogant you become. no offense here, i gave up opinion with a source backing it back without attacking you. However, you had no sources of your belief and most of ur opinions are personal attacks. Be a real men and admit what you did wrong, I am restating what the real DJs out there talking about LTR, are you saying that THEY KNOW nothing about LTR? You are such a joke Splinter, I have never seen an adult with this poor debating and convincing skills. I suggest you reorganize ur thoughts before you post any of the stuff here. You have not been a good help here. For the Love of God, I've got u cornered again
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.

Also, please don't try and act like you know better than me because you came up with some f*cked up speculations.. how much do you really think you can learn just by watching someone in a LTR?

I am going to keep this short because I am sick of wasting time argueing. While he may have a point that it will come to and end, in my opinion anything where you learn something you didn't know isn't a waste. A LTR will benefit you by teaching you about commitment, sexual experience, A LOT about the female race in general that you can't learn just by reading.. just to name a few. It will also up your value, because all the other girls will see you walking around with your gf.. and show them that you have something to offer. It will also help you know what to expect and give you experience in your future LTR's.antidonjuan said:hahahaha! i guess you felt defeated, i guess you are desperate now by attacking me directly. once again, you have no prof backing up, ok, i dont have an idea of LTR, why dont u tell me what i've said wrong? Oh please, i have my back up resources from the speculations of real djs. i never said i knew better than u, you obviously are better than me but you have to prove it to me. my speculations might me false but you have to give a reason for it.
Yes, maybe i am wrong(which means the most experienced DJs are wrong too), but can you give me an indepth explanations of what i said was wrong? i wanna learn and i wanna know what might be wrong with what i said, i have a lot to learn. but if you don't tell me what i said was wrong but just attacking me personally, it really seems like you are just a newbie-attacker instead of trying to teach us some legit-stuff about high school LTRs.
i have a lot of respect for you and i would ask for an explanation of why my speculation is wrong. just by saying: you are wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong and never give any explanations about it is absolutely rediculous. i understand the fact that you are trying to convince others that u know better than me(because i'm young) but the way u represent ur statement is very imature. sorry if u feel offended, i would like you to stop arguing and stop making yourself look bad and post some real stuff about LTR.
one more thing: i learn by reading http://www.sosuave.net/forum/showthr...threadid=56293
attack that true DJ instead of me and give some real explanations instead of stepping down a newbie like what you did.
KontrollerX said:"when someone ask you that you should get a girlfriend or something, how do you prepare for that question mentally and how do you respond to that question without abusing them?"
Well I think if you get a good group of friends and I'm not talking those shallow type of friends that most people get these days this issue shouldn't even come up as good friends respect you enough not to ask prying questions like this.
At least they don't regularly anyway. I mean I'm sure a good friend will ask you the question at least once or talk to you about stuff like this to get a general idea of you as a person but what I'm getting at is a good friend won't constantly pry into your personal life and ask you the same question over and over again once you've already answered the question once.
So barring surrounding yourself with good friends like this the only way you can politely reply ie not abuse those that are abusing you with their prying personal questions is to say in a calm tone that its really none of their business.
You see Anti Don Juan they may get offended no matter what response you give no matter how politely as people these days are f'n over hyper morons about every little thing not falling in line with their peer pressure influenced beliefs about how they should act and be in society.
As for how you mentally prepare for questions like this from random people just do what I said if possible and find friends that are cool and accept you for you without putting excess pressure on you as well work continuing to believe that other people's opinion of you does not matter and then when someone from the outside questions you like this you will have the support and strength of remembering that your friends accept you for who you are and your own inner voice and confidence not caring what the person thinks of your answer.
