"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.

Does anyone ever wonder what happened to an ex years after you last heard of them

"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.

There's one I occasionally wonder about. I dated her about 13 years ago. She told me she had a chemical imbalance in her brain and was on drugs for it. I watched her moods change at almost an instant when she'd pop a pill. She went all fvcked up when she wouldn't take her meds for a couple of days and would call me bawling uncontrollably.

I could almost see this chick being one to take her own life. I never heard from her nor saw her again after we broke up.

I only have 4 ex's...ex wife.....don't care....one married...and one I don't know and don't care.

LAst one I dated when I was 17. I got in touch with her on FB a few years ago. She lives in Sweden and has never been married. I talk with her on the phone from time to time. I might visit her this summer. I will bunk at her apt in Stockholm. I also have other friends I want to see. If I smash with her that's great if not Idc. I won't be trying. If I stay sober I can pick up a drunk swedish girl at a bar if I so desire. F ucking wont be at the top of my list.

Over the past 11 years I probably have close to 15 exes. I keep in contact with a couple of them and then the others I have ran into at least once over the years out and about. Of those, I have said brief hellos to some and exchanged a few "how are yous" and basically civil words. Then there are a few who I ran the other way to avoid them. I actually ran into one a couple of months ago during my lunch break at a restaurant, the 3rd worst one of all of them... I literally ran out of the place so fast I about tripped over my own feet, just so I didn't have to see her. There is another who I know works at this new grocery store that just opened near where I live. I really want to go see the new store but as long as I know she works there I will never step foot in the place...
 

"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.

My first girlfriend is still single, according to Facebook she seems to be doing good. I wonder if she ever gets another boyfriend. If I bumped into her it would be nice to have a casual chat.

The one I dated a year ago I saw working at a supermarket. I avoided her, not sure if she saw and recognized me. Any interaction would be very awkward, I don't think she moved on after dumping me. This one I keep strictly NC. I wonder if she'll become normal.
