"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.

I have a girlfriend who I've been with for a year and a half, we are currently living together. I am wanting to move overseas at the start of 2013, but I want to go alone...

How do I break this to my girlfriend???
 

"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.

I don't really want to help you because I hate your username so much, but I think you need to just get some balls and break it off.

It sucks, will hurt you both and is totally no fun. Doesn't sound like you have much choice though.

2013 is a ways to go. No reason to break the news to her a year and a half in advance.

Actually good point, I missed that. There's a good chance the relationship won't even last that long anyway.
