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.
Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.
She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.
Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.
So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.
The words come later. The impression comes first.
Most guys accidentally kill attraction before they even speak. They assume they need a bigger bank account, a better physique, or smoother lines. They miss the point.
Female desire operates on a specific set of psychological triggers. Break them, and you're invisible. Follow them, and you become magnetic.
I learned this the hard way. Years of freezing up. Getting friend-zoned. Watching other guys walk away with the girl I wanted. Then I discovered a set of 22 simple rules that rewired my entire approach.

Yah. Once me and my ex split my money has been terrible ever since (4 years or so). We were doing okay as a couple...middle class, but solo with child support has me basically on the edge of poverty. The only way forward is to have my own business...I'm never going to get ahead waiting on someone else to pay me. In fact if it wasn't for having a hustler mentality I would have to move home with my folks. I'm going to make money by any means necessary.SoldMySoul said:You hit something on the head, "It's tough at the bottom." Man that was music to my ears. Because brother that is where I am! Not to mention, but to add to your true statement, It is lonely at the bottom too.
My game is weak at this point! I have a lot of negs in my life that are beyond my control. When you are on top, everybody wants to be there with you.... at the bottom, not so much.
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.
Sorry to hear that Bossman, fyi it's Boxer. I hope you rise up and become reborn like the phoenix.Warrior74 said:Just wanted to bump this for anyone who missed it.

Strengths:
1. Hunting skills. I've gone out with 101 women from May 2008 to present. I've f*cked a third of them, keep in mind I don't like to date so if I can't close the deal within 2-3 dates, she's done.
2. Business. Recession has hit me hard, but I'm still making enough income to pay my bills and have a little left over to invest.
3. Investments. I spend years studying investing ala Warren Buffet and it has paid off.
Weaknesses:
1. I'm an a**hole. I can't keep a woman after a couple of f*cks.
2. People skills. I know if I was more socially adept, I would be more successful in all areas of my life.

Attraction runs on a clock.
She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.
The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."
One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.
Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.
