"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.

Been seeing this girl for a little while. Things are going pretty well, there's only one major problem.

She's a HUGE snob. And for me it's not a problem that she wants to go to art galleries and nice restaurants; I'm fond of those things myself. The trouble is that all of my friends and any place I like to go to that isn't super-chic is instantly labelled 'sketchy' and beneath her concern. That includes used-record stores, good inexpensive restaurants, most parts of town, and even public places like Harvard Square.

I'm literally amazed by some of the things that she says; like "You can't go to these places just because you want to; what will people say?" or "If most people say something is sketchy, i can't go near it".

Advice?
 

"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.

my advice is to go to the "sketchiest place" you can find in town, and **** her then and there...

Thanks; a crack house might be a bit much.
 

"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.

Just convince a bunch of people to start declaring her favorite places are "sketchy" or at least someone she looks up to. Then she would either listen to her friends and never go anywhere, because someone said it was "sketchy" or she would eventually be forced to just try something out even if it was "sketchy".
Aside from that, I'm an artist myself, and I can assure you Art Galleries are "sketchy"...I mean, c'mon...that's what artists do! Hello!

take her on a surprise date to the ghetto, then leave her there
 

"You Can't Argue a Woman Into Liking You"

You made your case like a lawyer. Stable job. Good guy. Ready for something real. All true. All irrelevant.

She weighed your points, nodded along, felt nothing — then fell hard for some tattooed bartender with a motorcycle and a gambling problem.

Logic is where attraction goes to die. The "22 Rules" work a level deeper, on the subconscious switches that decide within minutes whether you register as a MAN or as part of the furniture.

Stop presenting evidence. Start flipping switches.
