woah!!! this isnt entirely true i have a female friend younger who only tells the truth. i ask her advice a lot. she tells me to focus on myself an kids. not the female. she is really wise. my mom is another one she says im to nice.
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.
THIS. Also, what Mike said.bigneil said:The general rule is "Never ask a woman advice about another woman". Because either:
A) She likes you so she doesn't want you to score with other women.
or
B) She doesn't like you so she doesn't want you to score with other women.
Show up naked, bring beer.NorwegianDJ said:Reverse it then. Could you give a woman advice on how to get men?
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.

I hate you for the sacrifices you made for me.
I hate you for every time you ever bled for me.
I hate you for the way you smile when you look at me.
I hate you for never taking control of me.
I hate you for always saving me from myself.
I hate you for always choosing me and not someone else.
I hate you for always pulling me back from the edge.
I hate you for every good word you ever said…
Blood, blood, blood, pour more through my veins.
Shut your dirty, dirty mouth. I’m not that insane.
Blood, blood, blood, pour more through my veins.
I’m a dirty, dirty girl. I wanna feel sane.

I love you for everything you ever took from me.
I love the way you dominate and you violate me.
I love you for every time you gave up on me.
I love you for the way you look when you lie to me.
I love you for not believing in what I say.
I love you for never once giving me my way.
I love you for never delivering me from pain.
I love you for always driving me insane..
Blood, blood, blood, pour more through my veins.
Shut your dirty, dirty mouth. I’m not that insane.
Blood, blood, blood, pour more through my veins.
I’m a dirty, dirty girl. I wanna feel sane.

That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?
She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."
She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.
I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.
Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.
