"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.

What are some good activities you can have a date that doesn't involve the usual dinner and movie? Stuff like ice skating, hiking, something spontaneous and active. I want to do something different from what every other couple that's on a date do. This isn't just to be different for the sake of "impressing" my date either, I'm a guy that loves adventures and having dates where it's just you two having a dinner gets a bit repetitive imo. Although it doesn't seem like the most romantic thing, I've kind of discovered that girls are a lot more down to go on activity filled adventures than guys are. The past couple of weeks I've been doing a lot of activities, like rock climbing, hiking, ice skating, jet skiing, etc, and it's usually me, one or two other guys, and then like 6 or 7 girls. I try to hit up my boys but most of them think it's lame and they would rather chill and smoke cigarettes all day.

[edit] Spontaneous isn't the word I should have used, but I couldn't think of a single word that describes what I'm talking about (and I'm too tired to think right now) and it looks like I can't change the topic title.
 

"She Laughed All Night. Then She Ghosted You. Here's Why."

Dinner ran three hours. She laughed at everything. You walked her to her car thinking this one's locked in.

Then: nothing. Two texts. No reply. What happened?

You did what most men do on a great date. You filled every silence, answered every question, and left her with nothing to wonder about. No mystery. Nothing to sit with when she got home.

Rule 3 of the "22 Rules" changes the ending: tell her a little, hold back the rest, and let her imagination do the chasing. The ghosting stops too.

There is a 3 mile forest trail in my city, sometimes I would take girls there on my first date.

Then you say, "Wanna race? If you win then I'll let you buy me a smoothie!"

I'm a really fit person so I would like my significant others to be as well :p

There's always this part of the forest that becomes a real narrow trail where the tree limbs are pretty much blocking your way. Also a steep dip where you have to climb down the tree roots protruding out from the ground. Key areas where you can initiate kino.

I usually smoke them but as a consolation prize I tell them they can join me for a smoothie anyways.

I've tried taking a couple girls sky diving as a first date. Needless to say I scared them away for certain haha.

Another time I took this one girl to the Japanese supermarket. Bought some mochi balls, fresh salmon and tuna. Asked them if they wanted to come over to help me make sushi.

It wasn't too long ago that I started recovering from being an AFC.

In hindsight I did event dates without even knowing it. The majority of my dates were always dinner, which I was about to do with my most recent one. Until I found this site and decided to go elsewhere.

My results have always been greater with the event dates, now that I think about it.

Making sushi? That sounds pretty creative and fun! Thanks for that suggestion, I'll try it one of these days.
