"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 ended my 10 month LTR last sunday.

We were supposed to go on a holiday trip to Italy (4days, 3nights) end april.

I ended the LTR without any hard feelings, no dispute nothing.

I didn't contact her since sunday, she didn't contact me neither. I don't plan to contact her (the trip is paid, I have her money).

Several possibilities:

1. go with my ex-gf on the planned citytrip
2. go with somebody else (this means that i have to pay a fee on her charge of course )
3. Forget about the trip & the money (i lose 180€ on this one, but I don't care about the money)
4. Sell the trip on ebay :D

Personally I would like to go to italy, so for this reason I would chose nr 1 (no headaches about finding somebody else).

Is it a good idea to go with your ex?
 

"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.

Why would you want to reward and ex-gf? She's an ex for a reason.

Have you even considered the possibility of going alone?
tnx for your reply.

I could also go alone yes.

Why do you think this would be a reward? Which reward is she getting?

Trip was planned, no hard feeling, trip goes on.

She doesn't even have to be with me when we're there, worst case scenario we only share the room & do our own thing the rest of the time.

This could be a trip where you go alone and rediscover youself.

Speaking from my point of view, there is no way I would want my current ex to be there if I was in your position.

My question is why is an ex-gf deserving of such an invite? She's not your gf, she's not sleeping with you, so what has this woman done to deserve an invite on a vacation? NOTHING.

Also, why are you still having contact with your ex? Let sleeping dog lie.

If you really want to go to Italy, go on your own or take a good friend with you (whom you've never dated, nor plan to date). Your money and time is valuable, spend it on people who have been loyal to you (such as yourself).
 

"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.

Ok tnx for the reply.

No contact anymore since we broke off, didn't even try.

Btw, I paid my part of the trip, she paid her part. I never pay for other women.

Option 2 preferably or 3. Your thinking indicates a lack of social intelligence. Would you like to go on such a trip with an employee you had just terminated? Would you go on such a trip with a male friend you had decided to part ways with? I don't think so. So what is the difference, we all know.

Give her the money back (it's only right), then try to get a friend of yours to go, if not, go alone......

Well:
1) give her money back.
2) she isn't going with you.
 

"You Can't Argue a Woman Into Liking You"

You made your case like a lawyer. Stable job. Good guy. Ready for something real. All true. All irrelevant.

She weighed your points, nodded along, felt nothing — then fell hard for some tattooed bartender with a motorcycle and a gambling problem.

Logic is where attraction goes to die. The "22 Rules" work a level deeper, on the subconscious switches that decide within minutes whether you register as a MAN or as part of the furniture.

Stop presenting evidence. Start flipping switches.
