"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.

Ok in the scheme of things i guess this isnt that big a deal but for me its bothering me. About 3 nights ago i was at the first round of the phillies playoff game. Went down with a bunch of my friends. After the game we went to a bar attatched to the stadium. Well needless to say we were drinking since about 10 that morning and it was now around 8pm. I was pretty well gone. I have been dating my girlfriend for 2 years, things are good and i do not want to screw them up. Well me and my one buddy who is married decided to break off from the rest of the guys. Me and him end up talking to 2 smoking older chicks and i end up getting pretty much isolated with this one very good looking blonde. This girl kept trying to get me to go back to her house, i did not go but instead, "once again" i was drunk i gave her my name and cell phone number. My biggest concern is while im with my girlfriend that this girl will call or text me. She has texted me 2 times since the game i did not reply. I completly deleted her name and number from my phone.
 

"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 guess i can do that for alittle bit until this all blows over. I didnt think of that but if she would bring up why my phone is off i can always say i didnt even notice it.

Mine knocks the battery loose and turns itself off when I drop it, fwiw. You can always say, "oh I must have dropped it, it does that."
 

"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.
