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.
Beyond that, we can start amassing widespread public support for policy reform by connecting these topics to the economy and crime control. Protracted litigation in family court costs taxpayers millions each year, and kids without fathers who are modeling pro-social behavior are 800 times more likely to become the gang bangers who are carjacking you in the CVS parking lotYeah, that’s a solid point. Framing it as an American family court issue instead of just a gendered one could make the conversation more productive. The system has flaws that affect both mothers and fathers depending on the situation, so pushing for broader reform around shared parenting might actually get more traction.

you have been through it I guess?Yeah, that’s a solid point. Framing it as an American family court issue instead of just a gendered one could make the conversation more productive.

That, and "men's rights" are going to be an increasingly tough sell, in an ers where "human rights" themselves are proving increasingly untenable https://www.theguardian.com/news/2014/dec/04/-sp-case-against-human-rightsYeah, that’s a solid point.
