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.
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.

lol, yeah. I'll admit, I often just turn to my whey because it's so easy to mix up a quick shake and chug loads of protein down, but I'm making a concious effort to drink less whey now, as it can get a bit expensive.Warboss Alex said:

Instead, cheap protein sources are tuna, and I can get 2 cans down for 60+g of protein reasonably easily. HOWEVER, can anyone suggest any alternate cheap sources of protein, please, because let's face it...tuna is ****ing disgusting.
