"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.

So she showed High IL, you AFC, she runs, You ignore her, Now she's back, Now What?

reset, You felt like you wanted to die a few months later cause she broke it off? (It wasn't clear).

The girl in OP is native Japnese, cited cultural differences, and said how she finds it strange and different I think this way. In her culture, "guys go after girls for a long time." and "Gains their trust, followed with feelings."

I'm not going to buy it, I'm telling myself Girls are Girls, and the rules of attraction should pretty much be the same.

I've been 'trying' to work on my inner game for years while struggling with depression, and have been dating no one for years. Then she comes by and sparks interest, of course I end up one-itis her because I had no one else.

BUT yeah, as hard as it is though, now I'm not getting the phone and decided to walk away. It's like she would be satisfying a hole in my life, which should never be there in the first place.

The drawback is, Working on InnerGame seems like it's going to take so much time. And a complete permanent change in attitude seems like it will take every muster of energy and dedication to pull through. Wish me luck
 

"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.

What do her other boyfriends act like? How many guys is she friends with as compared to girls?

In any case, it's about what you want.

She's a waitress, she says she doesn't have guys that call her except once in awhile to get lunch, and has told me she is not seeing anyone else.

Lots more close girl friends than guy friends.

In terms of looks, she's not hot, she's alright. She's a little bit better than what I would consider myself as a guy, but has great personality to match. I was looking for a long term.
