Ever just get sick of the whole game?...conceit, lies, manipulation, opportunism...there's so much trash out there.
"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.

"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.

Perhaps the whole 'male female relationship deal " is really just mutual predation, or at the least, mutual exploitation ?

that's the thing...
I'm a life lover so I didn't mean to spread negativity...just philosophizing..haha..so to speak. So to pick b/w the two choices...recreation's covered I'd say...I'm a busy grad student, surf/skate, into fitness and all the fun stuff...yeah I guess it's the game. I currently don't have many guy friends due to lack of time so when I do go out, for example, it's still alone...success is possible but you better be in the right mood...I try to squash complacency like a bug and readjust my outlook.

Don't wish it were easier, wish you were better.
"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"
Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."
You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.
She's been waiting forty minutes.
Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.
