"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"
You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.
Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.
Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.
Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.

"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.

You have the value the time and experience you have with her. There is a "building" of the relationship per say that will take time with someone else. And many more selfish and vain people WONT build anything with you. They will be worried about themselves. Even someone similar to her you have to go thru the steps.
This upgrading for looks can be an endless cycle, but it's up to you.

Can you control yourself or your feelings control you?
"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.

Anything wrong with not getting married and going for the women you want ? How old are you ? How many women did you have in your life ?

Let's face it -- appearances don't matter as much as you think -- instead its a "spark" that keeps two people together for a long time.
I have seen it in old people who have lasted 70 years in a marriage. That spark is just there, and while looks fade, it is that twinkle in their eye, that crooked little smile, that infectious laugh that just turns you on like no other. If you had that spark -- you wouldn't think of leaving her. She doesn't do it for you.

I think monogamous marriage is an ideal born not out of fear but rather out of a desire to rise above "true nature".
True nature at its core is selfishness and self-seeking.
Mankind used to strive to rise above this, but not anymore. Now it's every man for himself... the easy path.
Had numerous encounters with women till age of 31 then went into relationships again and that's when I started getting these feelings of "grass is greener" and never fully feeling completely committed to the girl.
Something always bugged me and I'd think I could do better or find similar qualities with missing traits etc
"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.
