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.
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.

In school I'm one of the more mentally developed kids around and all the girls flock to me for hw help. Somehow everytime it feels like I'm being used like a tool. All the girls I know see me as a walking dictionary. How do I pull myself out of this hole?
Yep. Next time they ask you for something ask something from them as well. Its worked for me. For example ask them to help you with your own things(I mean you do have things to do don’t you?). AND AVOID being to easy to use, once in a while say a No(even if there isn’t any particular reason), that way you come out like a busy person, which you should be anyways. Oh and show your other qualities(that way they see your not just some dictionary, that your more than that), intelligence is a bonus but not the only thing you can have on your side.intelligence is a good thing. being a tool is not. just make sure if you're helping them with something, they're helping you with something
When a woman says it, guys hear a confession. A heads-up. A scheduling conflict.
Here's the translation: I don't feel anything. Right now. With you.
Watch what happens when a man triggers actual attraction. The busy career, the recent breakup, the "not in a place to date" — all of it evaporates instantly. The same woman who was guarding her freedom is suddenly free every night.
The "22 Rules" explain why. When the right switches flip, her timeline rearranges itself around you.

I tried that once...although I didn't think it through and had nothing to offer (other than the little sl*t going down on me), which her guy friend animated as my "payback from her".Originally posted by Chrisman
