"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.
Money!

"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.

Make them pay. I've done it but it has to be w/ women that you've already been hung out w/. And it hard azz to do, but can be done. Takes lotz and lotz of shytzna on your part.

Find something cheap that either you can pay for both of you ( I know its hard, I am a college kid, broke as h3ll......).
Something like coffee, where she can pay for herself, or you can go to the riverwalk (if you have something like that where you live, it usually works well for me, nice and quiet, you can get to know the girl better).
Or you can rent a movie, and just chill on the couch (works better if you have known the girl for a while, not really a first date idea)

do stuff that doesnt cost money, like take walks, go swimming, take hikes etc. Also make sure you pick the right time during the day. You dont want her getting hungry on ya during ur hike. Also you could try biking.....i asked a couple of girls to go biking this summer i got two to agree to go. It was a good time....they had a hard time doing it though which was kinda annoying.

"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.

Well I m new here, but froming readin the site and from experience, dont go on dates, meet her somewhere or go places that have no charge. I believe dates like dinner and a movie are for relationships, and relationships that have been build up, not for people just tryin to get to know each other. Action places are great, hell, skate in the park, take a walk, be creative, but most importantly, stay true to yourself.

and what would you call going to the park or taking a walk on the beach at dusk?

no bren...i think you misunderstood me, I m no expert on this site, but I was talking about the usual causal let me get your phone number so we can go to a movie type of thing, where, basically, it looks like a date, instead, it should just be a get together as you said on the beach or in the park or whereever. Just my opinion.
