"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"

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.

I was texting a girl I had gone on a date with recently. I asked her what mischief she was up to that day. Then she replied she slept most of the day.

From there a playful convo starts, I tell her I'm coming for some sleep lessons. She plays along and there's a bit of banter.

Then there's a small brain joke that leads to this.

'Omo daada' means good boy/child. Basically, its what a parent or someone superior would say

How did i handle this? What would you have done instead? 20201004_161328.jpg
 

"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.

You must cater to her imagination, if she wants you to be something you dont want to be, remain neutral, a bit of resistance is fine, but do not let her imagination run dry, if she wants you to be a lil' sub, negotiate with her.

She said Baby followed by a thumbs up.
Don’t overthink it. I see it as positive.
Oh, maybe I was overthinking.
But I didn't overreact, right? Cos I didn't reply her msg after that
 

"How I Made Sure No Woman Ever Friend-Zoned Me Again"

She calls you when her car breaks down. When she needs help moving. When some guy she's actually dating treats her badly.

You're the listener. The reliable one. The guy who would treat her so much better, if she'd just open her eyes.

She won't. You trained her to see you as the low-effort option — the friend who requires zero risk and zero investment. Every favor dug the hole deeper.

The "22 Rules" break the pattern. You'll stop auditioning for a role she already cast and become the man she chases instead. It starts with Rule 1.

Slight overreaction about her I’m the boss line. She probably just testing boundaries and you should have followed it with a joke…
Your fired followed by no reply sounds like
a mini-dump

I wouldn't worry too much. She seems playful.

Next time just play along with it (or ignore/reframe as a poster above said). There's a lot you can do with "good boy."

One thing about being the boss is you don't always have to throw your weight around. Always think of her as a little girl and you're like her daddy, amused at the silly little things she says and patting her on the head.
I get it now. Too bad I ended the interaction by my action. I guess I'll hit her up later.

I'm wondering what could be done with good boy, lol.

I'm not a bossy person actually. But I get the point now, just to keep it all playful

Good plan. Keep it playful like Sam said and throw in a situational or sexual joke or two and you’ll be good.
 

"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.
