"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.

she's kissing someone else at a party, and you're there.

or at least she's paying all her attention to this dude, and they're hugging, or something similiar. and she's drunk. or close to it.

basically your girlfriend, or whatever you choose to refer to her by, is ignoring you and is concentrating on someone else.

this hasn't happened to me yet, but i suddenly thought about it.

what would be the best thing to do? to let her know you're pissed off (understandbly), without thumping the dude or her or anything ridiculous like this.

all i could think of was strolling up and mocking her by also to fawning over him. there's nothing gained from this, but surely it's better than storming out and crying in the moonlight, or fighting them both, or pretending it didn't happen and writing in your dairy with black eyeliner on whilst listening to dashboard confessional and asking your cat for advice.

note: this hasn't happened to me yet.

fire away.
 

"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.

i just wouldnt play that **** if it happens. just let it be, talk to her when shes sober, and say "**** you. BYE"
 

"I just moved here from Florida."

That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?

She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."

She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.

I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.

Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.

make out with girls in front of her face if that's the case.
