She says the movie looks dumb; you suddenly agree. She tests you with a little attitude; you apologize for nothing.
You think you're being easy to get along with. She reads something else entirely: a man with no edges. Nothing to hold on to. No friction, no tension, no reason to wonder what he really thinks.
The "22 Rules" taught me to push back — playfully, calmly, without needing her approval. Strange things happened after that.
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.

But the question is ... is pvssy worth the drive? That's a fair amount of gas money
I'm finding myself at a bit of a crossroads, call it being selective or whatever, but I just don't go after the girls I used to anymore.
Please tell me thats hyperbole.I spent $2000 and flew to Europe to french a 20 year old girl.
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.

You are letting HER call the shots. Yes, you are. You are letting HER lead YOU, which is what you flamed me so bad for. If you were a REAL Don Juan like you PRETENDED to be in my thread, then SHE would be driving 1.5 hours to see YOU, RIGHT? You are putting the pu55y on a pedestal. If you really believed what you were saying to me, then you wouldn't be putting HER above YOU. Make her waste HER gas money to see YOU, for YOU are the Don Juan here, RIGHT?Ever since my last breakup I kinda said fvck it and started focusing on myself. Currently there are a few girls that I could get with, but none that I REALLY want to do. One of them happens to live 1.5 hours away. I told her if I came to see her it would be a weekend thing and I'd have to crash at her place for the night to which she agreed.

Sounds like you are losing your edge to me.I'm finding myself at a bit of a crossroads, call it being selective or whatever, but I just don't go after the girls I used to anymore.
Lazy, huh? Sounds like you don't have a good enough PLAN to me. The fact that you were even CONSIDERING driving that far just to get some snatch, and then you would get "pissed to all hell" if it "didn't work," tells me that you have an AFC attitude.I must be lazy. Not gonna do it. One of you can have her. It's just too far, and if it didn't work I'd be pissed to all hell that I just spent 3 hours worth of gas money and life.
When a woman says it, guys hear a confession. A heads-up. A scheduling conflict.
Here's the translation: I don't feel anything. Right now. With you.
Watch what happens when a man triggers actual attraction. The busy career, the recent breakup, the "not in a place to date" — all of it evaporates instantly. The same woman who was guarding her freedom is suddenly free every night.
The "22 Rules" explain why. When the right switches flip, her timeline rearranges itself around you.
Here's a question for ya', would you drive 1.5 hours in order to get to the job that you have now (with the same salary)?My Name is Nobody said:Anybody who says NO is lying.

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.
Oooookkkkkkk.... Sooooooo....My Name is Nobody said:Ofcourse YOU wouldn't drive an hour and a half Francisco.. you are a PIMP. I'm not even close to being on your level... and I don't think very many people on this site are either.
Francisco d'Anconia said:Oooookkkkkkk.... Sooooooo....
Would you drive an hour and a half to get to the job that you have now at the same salary?
Alright, that put things into perspective for your situation.My Name is Nobody said:Well considering my current job is not satisfying me, YES, I would take that other offer! But only part-time.
Wouldn't it be easier to just hire a hooker?Jayer said:YO WHO ARE WE KIDDING.... WE'D ALL DRIVE 3 HOURS FOR GAURANTEED ASS!!!
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.
