Master Don Juan
Now that my social proof is gone, I have no friends to bring people around with. I'll prolly sound desperate anytime people wanna make plans, what to do now?
You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.
Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.
She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.
Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.
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.

Thank you sirWarrior74 said:Since your moving anyway... concentrate on getting in the gym, getting some new clothes and getting some money in your pocket. Worry about a new social circle when you get there. Make this a mission and stay committed.
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.
I usually don't like this guy but his advice here is golden. There's a saying; The best friend you can have is money. Get some money saved up. Buy some nice things. Go get in the gym. People will talk to you and you will be okay. People are drawn to strength, not weakness.Warrior74 said:Since your moving anyway... concentrate on getting in the gym, getting some new clothes and getting some money in your pocket.
