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.
And she doesn't call or text you! No stupid chit chat for you to ask her out. Nothing! She doesn't have to ask you out but she can call and talk about ****. That is a hint! Wtf is she doing now? She may not even have some1 at all.
She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.
Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.
The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.
Right now we on our 7 off days so I have no clue what she doing and nope she hasnt called or text me since that time she called me on my ext.
She already reached out her way. Whether it is validation or not. You should know when you can ask her. She thinks like a woman and a woman thinks like a bunch of women.
When you grabbed her arm and didn't kiss her, you became clingy. That is exactly what happenes if you take a woman to a hotel room and instead of fvcking her, you start to watch baseball and drink beer. She gets naked and you don't notice her.
Well then maybe I should just take the loss if she doesnt reach out 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.
It is interesting what she told you.... Her extension didn't change. That dont mean her phone number did not change, which you used to ask her out.
Don't take a loss.just wait some time to see if she makes a move and if she doesn't then you move. You move even if you risk to be slapped! Just make an example!e
She said her personal phone number didnt change. She called me on my ext to tell me her personal phone number didnt change.
Yes I still greet and talk to her but only about job related things. Technically I just stop talking to her about meeting up since she cancelled twice on me
Well we will see what she does from now
Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.
She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.
Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.
So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.
The words come later. The impression comes first.
Did you knew her schedule the first and second time you ask her out? Did she tell you? How about heading out after work for. Drink or movie?
Yea we have the same schedule 7 on 7 off. I've asked her after work at that time how bout a drink after work
I mean her schedule after work. You know........
You know her DOB?
Oh I dont know her schedule after work besides she spends a lot of time with her 12 year old son
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.
Not quite but im 32 shes 43
What is your DOB?
8/6/87
I will try to PM you.
