"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.

Has anyone tried dating in Silicon Valley?

I have a job opportunity in Silicon Valley, which I hear is the single worst dating area in the world - where nerdy millionaires have to hold special events to find dates. I'm in Florida now in a retirement area so it's not much better here (nothing but waitstaff basically - no career women), though it's 52% women here versus 48% women there.

Has anyone tried dating in the San Jose area? Is it really that bad? I might have another opportunity in Austin, TX which I hear is a great dating scene.
 

"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.

I heard that for women there "The odds are good, but the goods are odd". So it might not be that bad if you're not a nerd. In my one night in San Mateo 4 years ago, an attractive woman approached me at my dinner table so I always assumed it was a good dating area. But I'm leaning toward Austin where there is no state tax, lower cost of living and no gun restrictions.

Sunnyvale (where the job is) was voted #1 city in America to date a nerd:

No state tax? That's pretty sweet. Texas has always sounded interesting to me. Of course, I live in Kentucky so the cost of living is null, and gun laws haven't quite made it to our state as of yet.

You should go with the more comfortable of the two as far as living conditions go.
 

"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.
