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.
How do you know if they try to come back when you’ve blocked and deleted them for displaying ****ty behavior? When I’m to the point I walk away, that’s it. You’ll never hear from me again and I’ll never know if you tried to talk to me because you were blocked and deleted and gone out of my life forever.I have zero and now walk away at any emotional wildfire they try throwing.
However if they come and ask for adivce or to just be heard/understood (which is slim) i will have more tolerance.
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 don't generally block unless they really annoy me. In any case, if someone really wants to get in contact there are ways around it.How do you know if they try to come back when you’ve blocked and deleted them for displaying ****ty behavior?

Yes, that's what I think. You can save so much time and effort this way.It is a good thing OP. Women who don't show high interest and chase you from early on are almost never worth your time. You will be able to save considerable time and effort by preselecting only for women who are clearly into to you.
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.
