"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.

Do you delete a chick's number(who agreed to go out) you see flirting with another guy before first date?

Did I misread something here?

You went to coffee shop, you asked her out, no solid plan, you went back to coffee shop and saw her talking to a guy while she was smoking, now you’re jealous, turned off, annoyed and thinking you should be recruiting self-respect and have since deleted her number?

if that’s what happened.. Then damn man.. you’re possessive and insecure as they come.
 

"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.

Yes you are missing something lol it was when I left the table I immediately saw a guy who was looking at us conversing go and talk to her. She was talking the same way to me as to him...all glib and stuff lol. Me and the cool bartender (harry potter looking chick with bf) were laughing what was happening in front of us lol

It sounds like you and the bartender had it figured out. Go with your gut.

I do not enter a woman's number into my phone until I have made a solid date plan. I haven't faced exactly the same situation that you have. I can't imagine that I'd be pleased to see that. She also already flaked on you once. I'd pretend she never existed.

In the pre-pandemic era, there was an instance where once after a fitness class, I made plans to meet some woman. I got her number, she never responded to the text, so there was no date. Some time elapsed, I was at fitness class, I chatted her up again not remembering who she was. I got her number (which is when I remembered who she was) and got her to agree to a date and she flaked again like the first time. I never saw her at that gym/fitness class again. I never did see her again at that gym. I never saw her flirting with someone else though.

My girlfriend once told me she got a job in a bowling alley. I said "ten-pin?" She said no,its a permanent position
 

"She Laughed All Night. Then She Ghosted You. Here's Why."

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.
