"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.

This isn't about girls, but a friend. I know it's off-topic but you guys give a lot of great advice. He's a pretty close friend who I've known for about 13 years, we did everything together. But now that he's met some new people from work, he mostly chills out with them the last few years. Never calls, yet when I see him he says there's no problem. What's going on? I hang out with the people he does, but rarely him. It kinda pisses me off. and he lives on the same block as me, lol.

How would you guys handle this?
 

"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"

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.

You've been "getting ready" for two years.

She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.

Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.

Look people change all the time.

The same friend that was there 13 years ago is not the same guy you see before you.

If he chooses not to invite you then fvck him. Go find some people who you share interest with and hang around them, but don't hold it against him if he feels that he outgrow you.

Well there was an issue where I accused his girlfriend of taking some stuff from my house, which was a pretty big deal in our social group. He says there's no problem, but I wonder if that's it.

You never go directly to a friend's girl and accuse her, she is his extension and you don't need to deal with her directly. You needed to talk to him first about it and see how he would have reacted and how he would have handled this. If he did nothing or supported his girl even though you were right, then fvck him and his girl. Go find some other friends and get out of social groups that don't respect you.
