I mean it's possible but I try to avoid the situation knowingly.
"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.

"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."
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.

He wants to, otherwise why not ask? A lot of you talk about "P inflation" like you want to improve every other man's lot in life. That I doubt is true - and it's not a valid reason to decline a good piece of trim. There are other more valid ones like "she's married", or "too much drama".
You dated this chic 18 years ago. I‘ll place my bet on her reminiscing about her old college bf and her glory days in her 20s. Now married, past her prime, most likely over weight and bored with her marriage. She casts out an indirect offer to see if she can hook you for an ego boost and some attention. Maybe she doesn’t want to smash at all and honestly wants to “catch up.” Women don’t realize that guys don’t care to spend much energy on fruitless exchanges with women they are not fvcking. You might spend the weekend hearing about all the stuff her husband does and how great he is while you sit there thinking, “I thought we were going to smash or did I miss read this whole thing?”
