Anyway, glad you realized that you need to either **** or get off the pot with this woman.
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 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.
She was literally inches from my face. That was the opportunity. I probably COULD have escalated in bed, but it would have been in the bag if I went for the kiss.ketostix said:I'll tell you what I think. I think whenever you get in another situation like the time you were alone together and slept in her bed, you could escalate, start kissing her and I bet you she'll get turned on and snap into a sexual freak lol. Well I think she'll fvck you anyway.
Oh, she will be there, pretty sure of that. All I had to say was "it's a heaven and hell party.....heaven upstairs and hell downstairs".I think this party is going to be interesting if she shows up. You got to post on the informative and juicy details.
Looking forward to the day when I reach your level of success....Bragging about hot party that I'm not a part of...
So it sounds like you were in the friends zone, and now....STR8UP said:She's the 37 yr old AW who i have known for about 8 years.
We have flirted the whole time I've known her. I did go out with her, "date" type stuff a couple of times in the beginning, but I quickly wrote her off as an AW and told myself that I would never pursue any kind of sexual relationship with her despite the fact that she is attractive.
you've gotten out of it?STR8UP said:Over the past six months or so I have held to my vow of not pursuing her, but the sexual tension between us has escalated nonetheless, to the point where we're making out in a club and she's grabbing my d!ck when I'm grinding on her ass.
i probably would have fukked her by now since it's pretty much a no brainer...no effort involved, but the opportunity just hasn't presented itself and I'm NOT about to set up any date type sh!t with her just to try to get some pu$$y.
That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?
She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."
She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.
I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.
Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.
