"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.

Well, I just checked. I've still got 26 hours. I'll briefly let you peek at one of her pics: http://i212.photobucket.com/albums/cc217/BlockadeRunner101/O8GMSEECDRHF.jpg
Cute. I say go ahead and make a move because it seems that she has some type of attraction to you. Personally, I say do what you typically do when interacting with women offline. The thing is that you'll need to get through her b1tch-shield first in order to get together with her offline. The distance thing will work against your ability to easily do something spontaneous. Well if you're up for the challenge, go for it; the clock is ticking.
 

"She Laughed All Night. Then She Ghosted You. Here's Why."

Dinner ran three hours. She laughed at everything. You walked her to her car thinking this one's locked in.

Then: nothing. Two texts. No reply. What happened?

You did what most men do on a great date. You filled every silence, answered every question, and left her with nothing to wonder about. No mystery. Nothing to sit with when she got home.

Rule 3 of the "22 Rules" changes the ending: tell her a little, hold back the rest, and let her imagination do the chasing. The ghosting stops too.

You know what? I think now is just not the time for to get involved with a youngun like this.

Then again, I'm confident strong in person, just that, I'll be thinking that she'll be looking for my porsche to pull up when I come to meet her, and instead see me madza b4000 pickup and be deflated.

The point is, I could care less about my ride. I'd rather have a nice house, which I plan on buying in a couple of months - been saving like a maddog for the down pmt.

So I should just save me and her the humiliation and time. My truck needs windshield repair. I just fixed the brake light. My oneitis knows the history of me and my truck. She hates it too, but a paid-off truck going on 4 years of no payments has been quite nice - and SHE don't understand that - that money does not grow on trees.

Life is hard, man, when you're out west and got no family - they're all back east, south. So basically, all I've had is ME and my local friends here, and my looks and determination, to get me the jobs I needed, to get me to where I am now. I'm happy with or without a woman, but in time, I think The woman will fall into place in my life.

Now is not the time to pursue this chick, however tempting she may be to me.
