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.

This made me laugh out loud!bornyesterday said:Tough one. You said you needed to initiate everything. He's awkward but seems to like it when you make a move while he cant himself. Depending on your and his age, which you havent disclosed yet, I think he's a virgin: he's scared and clueless.
So if you want to escalate, you need to do it yourself. Dont do it victorian style, be bold.
I lost my virginity with a very bold girl. She was touching me sexually after the second date and made no question about what her intentions were. If she wouldnt have been obvious nothing would have happened, I was such a chicken. I still have fond memories of her.
I hope you like virgins. Good luck.
