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.
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.
That's amazing!! I try to act like a 5 year old sometimes, although I keep it to a minimum because I don't want to be seen as the "dancing monkey" or whatever. But this is good stuff, probably better for HB8+ in my opinionOxide said:Everyone has a few of these. The stuff you pull out of the hat with almost every girl that works almost always.
Here is some of mine:
The good old, "hey what's this?" as you point to her neck (where adams apple would be). As she looks down you flick her chin and laugh.?
For n easrlier kiss that would probably be awkward, sounds like it depends on the girl also. As you said though you got mixed result, Ill try this though AmazingAmazing said:anyone try doing the kiss, then saying "well, that was good, like a 7/10"
i did it a few times with mixed results though
Yeah, this usually works, though I've only used it on HB7.5s and above.Amazing said:anyone try doing the kiss, then saying "well, that was good, like a 7/10"

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.

Funnily enough I use both of these. Except I add the "Naooooooooooooooooooooo" at the end of pulling away for the High Five.Oxide said:The good old, "hey what's this?" as you point to her neck (where adams apple would be). As she looks down you flick her chin and laugh.
The high five take away. Get pumped, say high five and as she goes for it pull away. I usually high five normally a time or two then do this - you SHOULD high five normally next though to ease it back.
Those two I use all the time. What are yours?
Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.
She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.
Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.
So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.
The words come later. The impression comes first.
similar but pretend to slightly zone out when shes talking to u and get caught looking at her lips then say "oh sorry whats was that" always met by a blush from her.Dubh said:intentionally get caught starring at a her and then smiling and then looking away thats the best
adding that to my arsenal.Boxer said:When the girl I'm with starts to sing a song that's stuck in her head...
Me: Hey who sings that?
Her: <artist name>
Me: Alright lets keep it that way![]()
I accidentally use something along these lines....it drives women who are interested in you nuts when you don't pay attention to what they are saying. E.g. you are doing something and they start talking but your concentrating on what you are doing. You turn and saying "sorry what was that?".londonzen said:similar but pretend to slightly zone out when shes talking to u and get caught looking at her lips then say "oh sorry whats was that" always met by a blush from her.
girls do it all the time but there thing is much more blatant followed by a "im sorry what did you say" with a cheeky smile
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.
