"She's Out of Your League"

You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.

Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.

She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.

Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.

Curious if you guys ever flake out on a chick on purpose, not in retaliation to being flaked on, but when wanting to test interest, and when detecting unenthusiasm and what not.

Did this with a chick today that has been making it a pain to make plans with, being unresponsive and what not. And funnily noticed an instant attitude change when I broke off our plans for tonight.

So you guys ever do this? Good tactic once in a while?
 

"I'm Not Looking for Anything Serious Right Now"

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.

I rarely flake, because I tend to actually want to see the women that I make dates with.

Flip side of that coin is that I never make dates with women who flake or otherwise show flaky behavior.

I think in my entire life, only two or three girls have ever flaked on me. If a girl wants to go out, she'll go out.

No... Rather than push/pull, I pull back on purpose. I won't flake on a date, but might not always agree to one, cut it short, or push it back. It has the same effect, but doesn't make you look undependable or flakey. It does make you look busy and with other priorities, though that's just an added bonus (you should be these things already).

Well in this case here I didn't cut things off and leave them closed like some flakes will do. I told her some things came up that I had to take care of and that we will do it another day, at least leaving it open ended.

I like her physically, but her personality is just sucking with me, and even though she has been consistently seeing me, I'm still on the fence with her interest level. I don't think it's disinterest but she strikes me as one of those ones with issues and is not a happy person.

I don't want to be around an unhappy chick and am hoping that if I entice her to chase me she'll show some more enthusiasm around me. I'm at the point where I'm tired of trying with her and am gonna let her come to me. If she doesn't oh well.

In the mean time I'll focus on others and keep busy with other stuff I got going on.

"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.

Can't believe she was still hitting you up for the concert after that!

I have thought about flaking out on a few plates that were not pulling their weight. I have done the whole "sorry I can't do tonight as something has come, hopefully next time shouldn't be a problem".

One girl who suddenly stopped talking to me a few months back and went into a RL with some dude, dropped me a FB message saying "long time" 2 days ago. Am I going to reply? Am I fvck - straight to the trash can!

I'll flake if I don't have that much interest in meeting the girl and there's something else I'd rather do that day/evening. That's about it

I flaked once. After the scotch wore off, I realized she was a 5 rather than an 8. I demoted her after I got my eyesight back and noticed her teeth. She could eat corn on the cobb through a picket fence.

Nasty.

"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.

Well I guess this worked.

She texted me this afternoon asking how I was doing. Told her fine, asked how she was. Then asked what her plans were for this weekend, she said work til Sunday, no plans yet, then asked if I had any. Said that's cool, going out with a friend tomorrow, then getting another tattoo Friday. Held off and like 30 mins later she initiated plans with me and all of a sudden seems more enthusiastic to see me. My main goal for this was to see if the interest level was really there cause I don't want to waste any time with someone where it's not.
