"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"
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 Liked You in March. It's October Now."
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.
Think of it like an adventurer, like Indy Jones. He has great friends in the places he's been to, but when the adventure in one place is over, he's off to seek a new one, waving goodbye to his friends. Occasionally in his new adventures, he may bump into them again and they're still great friends (or foes, in some cases), but he doesn't have to hang out with them all the bloody time!

Though if he's truly a downer and making you depressed then I'd say its definitely time to cut the chord.
"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.
yeah, pretty much where it's at. He hates people, has a horrible tempter, just doesn't like life. A couple weeks ago we were near a bar. I told him we should both go in there and see what it's like, he freaked out and came up with all these reasons that we didn't belong, we weren't rich, weren't driving BMWs so they would kick us out... it was just a nice upscale bar. No one cared.KontrollerX said:
I should have done this a long time ago. I'm not going to cut him out of my life completely, but I have to stop expecting him to be the guy I go out and get crazy with. He just isn't willing to experience new things. Sucks, but people change.

I had a friend like that yrs ago. There was this MILF hangout on Long Island which typically attracted wealthy older men(40's-50's). Whenever I would suggest we go to this place, he'd say, "I feel funny, all these guys are older than us and are rich dudes, I feel out of place". Such a defeatist attitude. Very insecure guy. And if anything, this guy blended right in, as he was preppy to the bone, meanwhile if anyone stood out, it was probably me, dressed as a rocker with long hair. I did pretty good at this place, the 2 times that I went. Was approached by 2 hot women, one of which was a sexy MILF who was with her sexy MILF sister, lol, who also was hitting on me, as she ran her fingers through my long locks and told me how I was hot.reset said:

Law 10: Infection: Avoid the Unhappy and Unlucky
You can die from someone else's misery— emotional states are as infectious as diseases. You may feel you are helping the drowning man but you are only precipitating your own disaster. The unfortunate sometimes draw misfortune on themselves; they will also draw it on you. Associate with the happy and fortunate instead.
Yeah that stuff ages your early. Actually, I guess I prefer going out alone anyway. I still get nervous going out without a friend along to lean on, but I also have a lot of freedom. I hit it off with a chick from the bar a few weeks ago, went to her apartment (then she had a panic attack and kicked me out, lol) but I never could have done that if I had to babysit my friend at the same time.
This has been going on for years, we've both decided we were going to set the bar low, not challenge each other, and just hide from life. Last few months I've decided I'm not going to live like that anymore. He's a good person but he is negative, angry, and these are qualities I don't have as much as I used to. So this drifting apart is probably natural.
That's what's happening here. Glad you don't blame them.slaog said:
“The 22 Psychological Triggers That Make Women Chase You… Starting Tonight”
Forget the cash, the cars, and the chiseled jawlines. Female desire operates on a completely different frequency. Primal. Subconscious. Triggers that bypass her logic and hit her on a gut level. Most guys are totally blind to them.
I know because I was one of them. The overthinking. The paralysis. The silent drive home kicking yourself for freezing up. Watching average guys walk away with the girl while you stood there stuck in your own head.
Then I decoded the psychology behind what actually makes women tick. 22 hard rules. Subtle behavioral shifts that rewired my entire reality. The anxiety evaporated. Women started leaning in. Investing. Chasing.
