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.
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.

I think you meant don't listen to hardrock. I did sets of 12, 10,8, and 6. If I did that I'm definitely not lifting too much weight. Its because I took a long break and this is the first time I'm going to lift seriously.
Going to live in Malibu, CA or LA this summer and get the hell out of VA. Need a body for CA.
