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 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.

There are certain quality girls I am into (beautiful, intelligent, good personality), who have this "suspicion" issue. I'm hoping to overcome. Maybe cI can, maybe I can't.zekko said:It seems odd to me that if you go by most of the advice around here, guys don't want girls to trust them. They want to convince them that they might be seeing other girls on the side (whether they are or not), they never want them to be too sure. This is supposedly seen as some sort of ideal situation. So it's strange to see someone complain about it.
I don't see it as a bad or as an ideal situation. It's just something I deal with from time to time.zekko said:It seems odd to me that if you go by most of the advice around here, guys don't want girls to trust them.

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.
Not true at all. Any woman regardless of looks can act unatural around a good looking man. Good looking men have also gotten divorced, dumped, and screwed over by women. Good looking men have made poor decisions on women. Good looking men have also put women on a pedestal. Lots of black and white thinking here.Poon King said:Only extremely attractive women will act naturally around you.They are used to drooling beta losers worshiping them regardless of their lack of personality and lack of game.
U dress down. Give mt best way way into the friendship.new_hotness said:I'm 3 months out of long term relationship. For the first month or so, I was just taking it easy, not looking to date, and just went out just to grab a drink and chill.
After that, I was ready to date again. One issue I am repeatedly running into is that many women don't trust me. They expect me to be unfaithful, sleep around, etc. and I am not like that at all.
One of the main issues I encounter is when girls "lock up" when I try talking to them. Any sort of "daygame" approach has this potential, as girls sometimes freeze and can't really act normally around me.
This can sometimes happen even when I've seen the girl a second or third time, and they still can't quite relax.
I have gotten slightly discouraged by this.
One woman in particular was a) angry with me at first, b) then very nervous then c) ignored me completely the third time I spoke to her.
Any tips or pointers appreciated.

Women don't trust a lot of men regardless of looks. Good looking men have gotten screwed over, divorced, dumped by women. Good looking men put women on a pedestal. Women don't always act natural around good looking men. What you're saying is not true talking in absolute terms.Poon King said:Which part is "not true at all"?
Women act different around attractive men. Its a fact.
And since VERY good looking men are rare to begin with... it makes it all the more true.

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.
