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.
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.
She calls you when her car breaks down. When she needs help moving. When some guy she's actually dating treats her badly.
You're the listener. The reliable one. The guy who would treat her so much better, if she'd just open her eyes.
She won't. You trained her to see you as the low-effort option — the friend who requires zero risk and zero investment. Every favor dug the hole deeper.
The "22 Rules" break the pattern. You'll stop auditioning for a role she already cast and become the man she chases instead. It starts with Rule 1.
What you are "ok with" is besides the point cause women will do what they want... Just be glad she is giving you a turn and move on when your time is up.... which it is when she is out have ing men buy her drinks and telling you nothing happened.inzone50 said:If your LTR g/f went to a club with her friends and a guy there asked her if he could buy her a drink.. she accepted but nothing happen between them?
would you have a talk with her about it?
Be glad she gave you a turn? You're joking, right?DonGorgon said:What you are "ok with" is besides the point cause women will do what they want...

Well you dont have to be glad but that is all you get from modern , independent women is a turn to f them then its the next guys turn...tick37 said:Be glad she gave you a turn? You're joking, right?
Yup, don't be so weak. If she's sees that weakness in you, she'll probably run anyway. You've got to be better than the other guys and getting jealous puts her above you, and you'll lose. Take it as a compliment and tell her you think it's great.sav said:if you cant trust your girl to chill with her friends on her own without u, u have to ask urself if this relationship is right for you.... and before you jump onto the next relationship u need to work out ur jealousy issues... its a weakness.... guys buying girls drinks is what happens in clubs... girls rarely decline.. its free ****..w ould you decline some free stuff? i dont think so.
