LOL I have a hard time believing Str8up's 57 yr. old looks better than Cindy McCain. Cindy M looks better than pretty much any woman I have ever seen in her late 50s.
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.
Attraction runs on a clock.
She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.
The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."
One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.
Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.
Your dillusional my friend. I've seen 60 year olds that have less wrinkles than Cindy McCainMisterSinister said:LOL I have a hard time believing Str8up's 57 yr. old looks better than Cindy McCain. Cindy M looks better than pretty much any woman I have ever seen in her late 50s.

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.
Probably not -- but she's also older than my mother. I don't know what I'd make small talk about -- watching The **** Van Dyke Show and the fancy new FM radios they're putting in cars probably.MacAvoy said:I bet dollars to donuts though that you don't got what it takes to close this broad.
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.

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.
When she is tearing and ripping at you, tell her that you usually do not do this, but "something" tells you that it will be ok because she is "different ".STR8UP said:I want to give it a try just for the novelty factor, and she IS attractive. If I'm married at that age I could only pray that my wife looks that good, but I'm developing a mental block.
