"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.

Attempted reschedule thwarted. Maybe I should try this more often...

Girl I am supposed to have a first date with tonight texts me and says she is really tired and had a tough day and asked if she could reschedule because she feels like she would be bad company.
Now normally I would just say OK.

However we had plans 2 weeks ago that got cancelled by rain and then tentatively made plans for Saturday but she asked to play it by ear and I told her I am not the wait and see type of guy so we scheduled for tonight. So I didn't want to take a chance of just going along with it.

So I texted her "I will be there at 8pm. You should join me. You can thank me later." She must have liked it because she said that I am a tough one but she isn't going to be at her best but she will see me then.

Guess I should try that more often.
 

"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.

Some women give in, some don't. You'll have success with being persistent at times. You showed her that you're willing to enjoy yourself without her and thus took the pressure off her.

The lesson to learn here is people (male and female) flake, there are too many variables to decide "they dont like you" based on a flake.

I flake all the time, I'm very emotional and sensitive, if I'm not feeling it that day then I close off.

Well played, player.

"I'm Not Looking for Anything Serious Right Now"

When a woman says it, guys hear a confession. A heads-up. A scheduling conflict.

Here's the translation: I don't feel anything. Right now. With you.

Watch what happens when a man triggers actual attraction. The busy career, the recent breakup, the "not in a place to date" — all of it evaporates instantly. The same woman who was guarding her freedom is suddenly free every night.

The "22 Rules" explain why. When the right switches flip, her timeline rearranges itself around you.
