"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.

She has a few guy friends, but plenty of girl friends, too. She doesn't come off as "one of the guys." I've fruitlessly pursued plenty of them in my lifetime.

Still, this story ending like all the others is a possibility for which I will have to steel myself as it is, so it seems.

Ah well. Still too close to tell with this one. I'll let you know how **** develops, but right now, it seems that the toga party is cancelled, and I've yet to get a phonecall from her.
 

"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"

Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.

She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.

Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.

So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.

The words come later. The impression comes first.

UPDATE:

****, guys, she just ain't interested. She only sees me as a friend.

Too bad. I really, really, REALLY wanted this one, too.

Ah well, thanks for your help anyway, guys. A friend of mine has hooked me up with a cute slut sometime this week, so I'll be fine, overall.

I don't quite remember who wrote on this board, concerning depression, that one has total control over one's attitude and has a choice to remain depressed, but massive thanks to that true gentleman. I'm feeling halfway-decent right now because I choose to feel halfway-decent.
