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.
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.
RE: Leicester Square - I can't say i've noticed much in the way of new competition although the areas hardly on my favorites list.Originally posted by englishcrap
Guys,
My inbox is screwed up and i unable to access messages. Lets organise a meeting in Covent Gardens or in Big store in Oxford street and sarge there.
I have sarged in Selfridges in Oxford street as well as Harrods in Knightbridge, Covent Gardens all are good training grounds to sarge.
Leciester square is becoming too much of a hunting ground especially with the publication of Styles book.
So lets do it 2 weeks from now on a sunday ?
Anyone who turns up I expect them to approaching the minute we say go, no spectators please.
