"Nervous Around Beautiful Women? There's a Rule for That"
I could talk to any woman I wasn't attracted to. Charming, funny, relaxed. Then a gorgeous woman looked my way and I'd become a sweating, babbling mess.
The fix took me years to find and ten minutes to learn. Nervousness and excitement are the same physical state — pounding heart, adrenaline, flushed face. Your brain just picks the label. And you can pick a better one.
Rule 16 shows you how. You feel the nerves, relabel them as excitement, and let that energy pour out as enthusiasm. Women notice the guy radiating it. They always do.
Will this prevent a girl from flaking

"You Can't Argue a Woman Into Liking You"
You made your case like a lawyer. Stable job. Good guy. Ready for something real. All true. All irrelevant.
She weighed your points, nodded along, felt nothing — then fell hard for some tattooed bartender with a motorcycle and a gambling problem.
Logic is where attraction goes to die. The "22 Rules" work a level deeper, on the subconscious switches that decide within minutes whether you register as a MAN or as part of the furniture.
Stop presenting evidence. Start flipping switches.

"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.
Dunno about everyone else but in a way I agree with this - you have to time it so it's not such short notice she's made other plans, and not too long that there's a chance of her forgetting (not that forgetting is very respectful or enthusiastic, mind. Perhaps that in itself is a good test of her interest?) or it kind of getting vague.JPlaya said:
I've found that when I've made arrangements too long in advance with women, sometimes they've flaked, not in the sense of not showing up, but something seems to "come up". Whether that's coincidence or there's something in it, I don't know. Perhaps it gives them time to go off the boil a bit?
I've usually found it most comfortable ringing them at the beginning of the week, Monday or Tuesday, with a view to meeting up Friday or Saturday. Get in there just before the mid week where all their stupid mates start booking stuff with them for the weekend.
Igetit!

You don't expect her to remember a week out in advance. That's understandable and all,but what about YOU and your memory? A week is a long time.JPlaya said:
So who's going to call you to remind you about the date?
You won't have any problem remembering,will you? Because you have a high level of interest in her. I agree with what Sparky said about gauging how far out to plan a date taking the girl's interest level into consideration.
If you have no problem remembering the day and time of the date,but you feel you have to give her constant reminders of something she SHOULD BE excited about,them maybe she isn't as interested as you think.
JPlaya said:
This was a joke,right? You don't seriously plan on telling her to wear something sexy simply because you're going to buy her something to eat,do you? :crackup:
I don't know how often you talk to this girl,but if a day or two has passed since you two last spoke,I'd call her up like 2 days before the date just to talk and flirt with her a bit.
Play a little,tease her a bit,ASK HER what she's going to be wearing FOR YOU on the date. Tell her that you expect for her to act like a lady while out on the date,and that if she gets any funny ideas about trying to get out of line or trying to do anything inappropiate when you're out together,tell her she has your FULL PERMISSION to do so
. Tell her not to wear a lot of make-up on the date because you don't want to spend the whole date wiping lip stick off your face. That'll put the thought of HER kissing you in her mind.Get those juices flowing a bit,stir up her emotions. Do that like two days BEFORE the date. Then the day of the date,you can call her up like maybe a hour or two before you're supposed to go pick her up (or meet her),and tell her that you'll be there to get her in about so and so much time.
Aren't you the same dude who made some thread about how you're never going to ask a girl out by texting again? Well how come you're against using texting to ask a girl out,but when it comes to communicating with her AFTER she says yes,you revert back to it?JPlaya said:
Texting should be used to relay quick messages,not to replace normal human interactions. If you have something short and to the point to say,then text,but if you want to vibe and connect with someone,you need to TALK to them,and vibing and connecting with a girl is IMPORTANT to maintaining a girl's high/medium to high level of interest.
There's no 100% way to insure a woman not flaking. All you can do is get her interest level as high as you can,and expect her to do the rest.
"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.

I'll usually say something like, "Hey, don't forget to wear jeans tonight. You can't use me as a cushion if you trip on your ice skates!"

Pretty girl asks me out on a date one week in advance you can bet I won't forget it.
“The 22 Psychological Triggers That Make Women Chase You… Starting Tonight”
Forget the cash, the cars, and the chiseled jawlines. Female desire operates on a completely different frequency. Primal. Subconscious. Triggers that bypass her logic and hit her on a gut level. Most guys are totally blind to them.
I know because I was one of them. The overthinking. The paralysis. The silent drive home kicking yourself for freezing up. Watching average guys walk away with the girl while you stood there stuck in your own head.
Then I decoded the psychology behind what actually makes women tick. 22 hard rules. Subtle behavioral shifts that rewired my entire reality. The anxiety evaporated. Women started leaning in. Investing. Chasing.
if you have booked a certain concrete specific time - then she will turn up. why, between now and then, are you obsessed with texting every day to make sure she's still going to show up? Every time you text saying "are you still coming" its a massive display or insecurity, needyness and lack of confidence
in a forum of needy overtexters, you are actually the worst one of all. if you must text her , please dont text "are you still coming" or "did you remember" or "just to remind you", if you really can't cope without a text, then text something CONCRETE instead of this vague wishy-washy "hey" crap you always text. text "ok so i'll pick you up at 6.30" - but only ONLY if you haven't already confirmed that you are going to pick her up at 6.30. if you have already agreed this, then a text is really unecessary
you are a weak, needy, fragile little creature - you should be trying to hide this from her, not confirm it with every little text

Come on JPlaya, just DON'T text her. Apart from anything else aren't you inquisitive to see what'll happen if you don't? Imagine how it'll boost your confidence if you don't text and she still turns up?
STEP AWAY FROM THE PHONE. If only to humour us lot. Come on we've got bets on this, me and Johnny have got 4-3 on her turning up, so don't dissapoint us:trouble: (Haha J/k of course).
Listen put it this way - you want to know whether she'll turn up if you don't text her? Only one way to find that out. Don't text her. And perhaps the result may guide you as to what to do in the future. But if you DO text her, you'll never know. You won't learn anything. Apart from how to feed your insecurity.
