"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"

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.

"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.

Go somewhere YOU wanna go. Ignore the boilerplate suggestions of popular culture - this is for YOU, not them.

What do you like to do? What are your interests? That should drive your choice of destination.

Next, logistics: what are your travel/financial/physical limitations? That will determine how big you can go.

If you want solitude then I'd recommend a long weekend of hiking/bicycling/motorcycling with overnight camping at the end of each day.

You could also look into any paintball tournaments nearby if you really want to be physcially active and still be around people.

Also think about a major museum that caters to your interests.

Or, find a local historical reenactment group and see if you can observe their activities for a weekend.

Are there any conventions in your city or nearby that interest you?

Again, I don't know the specifics of what you like, but do something that will YOU will enjoy. Don't just try and escape your current situation, MAKE a great experience and memory out of this vacation, and then build on that.

Good luck,

CN

Beyond your peripheral vision
I highly suggest New Orleans.

It is a very nice time away, with tons of activities to do. Even if you just wander around the Quarter, the time will fly. And every day and night is mardi gras on Bourbon, which is lined with strip clubs and $5 hurricanes stands that you can drink as you walk around the town.

If you want more sustenance, there is a ton of history in that city, and is a photographer's paradise.

It is a southern city, so also expect that refreshing, relaxing slow and take it easy vibe everywhere you go. The weather is in the upper 80's right now.

Depending on where you are, it is a short plane ride, and not very expensive either. You can get a very nice hotel on hotwire in the French Quarter for less than $60 if you allow 3 weeks advance planning.
