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.
You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.
Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.
Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.
Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.
now to come up with the rent-a-boyfriend version.....it is a clown world, you're right
This was created by a black guy...no white people I know say "let me get a plate"now to come up with the rent-a-boyfriend version.....it is a clown world, you're right
That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?
She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."
She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.
I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.
Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.
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.
I notice a lot of my single women friends tend to switch to 'in a relationship" this time of year. Quite a few this year just recently. It's "cuffing season." Many of them will be dumped right before Valentines Day. Anyway, my main point is most women have no problem getting a boyfriend when they really want one and it's convenient for them. For some any guy will do or they might even give one of their orbiters the "privilege" for the holidays.now to come up with the rent-a-boyfriend version.....it is a clown world, you're right
hmm, that has motivated me in the past. Not xmas time but some sort of milestone, like 30th b-day or 40th b-day.I notice a lot of my single women friends tend to switch to 'in a relationship" this time of year.

I wonder if "details on what I do for a living" means she tells your whole family that she's a low-grade prostitute. If that's the case, it might even be worth it.
This happens every year starting in October. Sometimes the dumping happens just after Valentine's Day.I notice a lot of my single women friends tend to switch to 'in a relationship" this time of year. Quite a few this year just recently.

It could be used for social proof, come into a party with a hot girl by your side and all eyes will be on you. Use that to pick up other girls there.That sounds like a soft escort service. Like a cuddling partner or partner at an office party,.etc.... So.what? This used to be in the yellow pages under the heading "escorts" back in the day when sex was not part of it and it was advertised like a companion for events.

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.
