Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.
You've been "getting ready" for two years.
She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.
Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.
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.
Mauser96 has been posting some Corey Wayne videos lately, so I've been watching a few of them. He says that opening with a compliment makes a big impact on a girl, because most guys don't have the nerve to come up and say something like that to a girl.way2smart said:I would advice against opening a conversation with a complement.
Never complement a girl if you want to seduce her.
It kills all the attraction and just makes you look AFC.

I have seen several videos of Corey Wayne, and I don't agree nor like some of the stuff he teaches.zekko said:Mauser96 has been posting some Corey Wayne videos lately, so I've been watching a few of them.

I'm not saying that's true, but that's what Corey Wayne says. I've never been one to give a lot of compliments, but maybe that's a mistake.

Instead you need to be polite and start a convo with something completely different. Then her hamster will start spinning and she will start doubting herself and asking questions like "Does he like me?" ,
"Am I pretty?" , "Why doesn't he complement me?"
That's how you build attraction.

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.
I know what you're saying, and I agree. But I don't think he means he is going to be sitting around waiting for her, he is going to be going out and getting other women.way2smart said:Any girl who hears "Let me know if you change your mind" will always think that you will always be there for her like a puppy and rightfully so. You don't want the girl to think that she can have you any time she wants. Women hate men who are too available and whom they can have any time they want.
Yeah, I don't agree with Corey Wayne when he says only the "top 3%" of guys have the nerve to compliment girls. I agree with you, the most beautiful women hear it all the time, but it might have a stronger effect on more average girls, because they aren't quite so jaded.devilkingx2 said:hot girls get complimented all the time, they're used to it and it probably doesn't mean much to them. meanwhile average girls aren't used to constantly being hit on and complimented so compliments have stronger effects
i'm pretty sure it's more like, only the bottom 3% of guys lack the courage to compliment a pretty girl when they see one.zekko said:Yeah, I don't agree with Corey Wayne when he says only the "top 3%" of guys have the nerve to compliment girls.
