"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"

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.

"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"

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.

Start with a small get-together. Coffe place or a bar, just for an hour or less. You're 1st date shouldn't really be a ,traditional date.

Too much Rapport, not enough varied rapport, not enough Attract. Hello Friendzone, NEXT!

Talking is good, talking right is golden.

You said most of your conversation was over a TV show. Did that teach you anything about her, or did you focus on what the girl liked about the show? Remember, in conversation, the women will give you many different avenues to lead the conversation into if you wish to venture.
 

"Why Women Dump the Guys Who Try the Hardest"

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.

Yep. You failed. You usually turn that one around by playing it down as her just not wanting an experience and that she's too closed up to follow though on her wants.

Rapport and interest aren't really significant in the beginning when you first meet someone. Attraction is what's most important when you first meet someone. You've got to have the attraction first, then rapport and if both are there it should lead to actual interest.
