"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.

What are some commendable behaviors of a man who isn't a "nice guy"?

What positive characteristics of this man help him to promote good relations with his partner? Obviously, not being "too nice" and "spoiling" her, but what "principle" does he stick to?
 

"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.

He sticks to the principle of rewarding good behavior with his attention and time and rewarding bad behavior by pulling away said attention and time.

He takes and lead and controls the conversation. Hes not impressed by her and her bragging. He lives in abundance and is not too attached to certain things, mainly her.

He isn't afraid to offend a woman.
For example: HB: "I love cats! They're so cute and adorable."
AFC (who hates cats): "Yeah, I love cats too! The more the better!"
DJ with principles (who hates cats): "I love cats too. I once had a hat made out of 10 cat skins (or some other statement showing your true colours)."

Sure, you run the risk of offending some crazy cat lady but at least you show her you're not scared and that you're a challenge.
 

"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.
