I had to cancel 3 dates because I was sick last week, so if your girl cancels she might not be lying. Everyone I know is sick. If you're not sick, take precautions to avoid this nasty flu going around. Sunlight, Zinc, and Chlorophyll are good in particular. And as far as the "I don't get sick" people, I hadn't had a cold in years. I think it's good to catch a cold once in a while as it's a detoxifying experience.
"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.

"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."
Attraction runs on a clock.
She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.
The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."
One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.
Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.

I'm considering doing a detox in the NY. Haven't done for years. Once you get over the initial shock of withdrawal, you notice benefits that seem to last for months.
I take activated charcoal from time to time to cleanse the gut. Zinc and vitamin D as well. Gonna start on coconut and castor oils as well.

Magnesium 425 mg. It creates a more alkaline system that illness doesn't like. As well, we get too much calcium (which leads to arthritis and osteoporosis and lung gunk) and supplementing with magnesium ensures that your body will rid itself of the excess calcium
"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.

I have had an alkaline diet before. Like 70-30% alkaline-acid food. It really helps on all sorts of levels.
Almost universally, advice in the dating community is "If she cancels because she says she is sick, she has low interest and you should next her". The rationale is: "If a woman is interested in a man she will do anything for him, including looking bad, wiping boogers on his sleeve, and coughing phlegm all over him".
Assuming she is not interested is a really bad idea if she really is sick. That's a time when she needs you. Also, remember that as soon as you say something like "Are you lying to me to avoid seeing me?" they start to lose interest. Finally, you should not try to set a definite date in the future yet (whether it is you or her cancelling) because you don't know how long it takes to get better. The average cold lasts 2 weeks, so 1-3 weeks is the norm.

I think it can be taken a step further. Whether a girl is sick, if she's just saying she's sick, if she's painting the wall or banging the fcking milkman; if she doesn't want to see you, she doesn't want to see you. And that is that.

Spot on !
Magnesium levels along with Vitamin D and K2 regulate Calcium levels which are stored everywhere ..... leading to what you posted about AND blood clogs.
If you drink coffe, alcohol or work out it is very likely you are Magnesium defficient.
As for the chicks, you can usually find out during a phone call if she really is sick or she is just not interested.
"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"
She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.
Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.
The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.

one time I was supposed to go out with a POFer, second date, and I got the flu. I apologized profusely and told him I would absolutely let him know when I was feeling better and we could plan the date. I then checked in with him about once a day to let him know how I was feeling.
I still believe, even if they have a cold/are ill, they should give you some indication that they are going to let you know when they feel better. I agree that a "I hope you feel better soon. Text me when you are feeling better and ready to make plans" is a sufficient reply.

Speaking from someone that just went through this nasty stomach flu, I have 3 women waiting on me to feel better. 2 of which offered to bring me stuff yesterday while I was off work, at home, getting through it. One showed up with baby food and pepto lol.
The only time the "I am sick" response wouldnt work for me is if they dropped that at the last minute before we were supposed to meet up. I really dont change my process. If they offer a reschedule, thats fine. I send them the "hope you feel better.....let me know when you feel up to meeting up for a drink".
Then I leave it at that.

Yes, the person cancelling should tell the other person the night before the date if they are sick. Also, these days a person can usually see from social media the status of a person who is not feeling well. If you see photos of her partying that might be bad.
Example:
Person A "I apologize but I'm under the weather and just not feeling up for going out tomorrow night. I need a rain check."
Person B "I understand. Get well soon."
(Wait until they say they feel well - no need for definite plans yet)
