Vantagepoint34
Master Don Juan
Here's the situation a guy from my past decided to get again with my wife. Now I think my wife is using this Nice guy. What would you do in my situation?
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.
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.

Exactly my pointMantis Toboggan said:To be honest, I feel like I've seen too much already.
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.

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 care because this poor guy doesn't know what he's getting into. I think he just hangs around to date one of her friends. That's why they keep him around. May there be mercy on this guy.youngmack said:Why do you care bro?
No.omega05 said:is "this guy" you?
You tell em'Danger said:It's true.
I'm the guy, but I'm having swing parties with this girl and all of her friends.
What is sad is that they are all married and their husbands don't know.
We promised years ago to stop after I had impregnated one of them. Now her and her beta-husband are raising my child.
Fast forward a few years and we all decided we just couldn't stop doing this because of one little accidental pregnancy. It was just too much fun. So here we are again. I wonder which wife I will impregnate this time?
I just think it's her way of romanceDanger said:Tell me,
In what way is your wife using this man from her past.....that does not disrespect you at the same time?
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.
