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 could talk to any woman I wasn't attracted to. Charming, funny, relaxed. Then a gorgeous woman looked my way and I'd become a sweating, babbling mess.
The fix took me years to find and ten minutes to learn. Nervousness and excitement are the same physical state — pounding heart, adrenaline, flushed face. Your brain just picks the label. And you can pick a better one.
Rule 16 shows you how. You feel the nerves, relabel them as excitement, and let that energy pour out as enthusiasm. Women notice the guy radiating it. They always do.
We're here dude,but what do you expect us to say?vagrant said:anybody?
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.

Best advice i've heard on the subject in a good while.Warrior74 said:Fock those guys....as a father, life goes on after kids. Kids are great. It's their mothers that's the problem.
Does she have medical issues? On birth control? Under lots of stress?
Is she dating anyone else? Do you even suspect she might be? DNA test before you sign a birth certificate.
If you aren't going to marry her, don't pretend to. Tell her that you will be there for her and the baby. There will be some bull**** to deal with if you choose not to marry her. If she is low class she will be vindictive and use the baby as a weapon to punish you. I she's a decent girl and honest about herself, her feelings, the situation and circumstance...she may act like a halfway decent person about it all.
Good luck man. If its yours and you need advice i would suggest posting in the mature man forum on this topic.
Yeah that plastic Y shaped thing.One of my female friends is on some sort of birth control and only gets her period twice a year (from what she says). Maybe this girl is on the same or a similar thing?
Just thought of it as a possibility that hasn't been posted yet in the thread.
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.

Condoms cut of the blood flow!Dannyrt34 said:seriously what makes everyone think having sex without a condom worth the risk
Dinner ran three hours. She laughed at everything. You walked her to her car thinking this one's locked in.
Then: nothing. Two texts. No reply. What happened?
You did what most men do on a great date. You filled every silence, answered every question, and left her with nothing to wonder about. No mystery. Nothing to sit with when she got home.
Rule 3 of the "22 Rules" changes the ending: tell her a little, hold back the rest, and let her imagination do the chasing. The ghosting stops too.
