"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 know this sounds stupid but a woman i work with made a big deal to her friends about me waving and always saying hi to her. I do this with about 80 percent of the people i work with
does waving and just being friendly/social towards a woman give her a sense of power?

i mean if i didn't interact with people work would just be work ya know
 

"I just moved here from Florida."

That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?

She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."

She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.

I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.

Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.

saying hello to work colleagues is normal. Do you make a point of finding her and is the waving a bit over the top?

Sure, I wave to all the time. I can't imagine how else I would thoughtfully say hi to woman during the day and let her know I "mean it".

As a matter of fact, when I wave I come to a full stop, lift my right hand then carefully lift my middle finger. Smiling is always a bonus.

Yes, waving is gay. No, it's not the end of the world.
 

"She's Out of Your League"

You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.

Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.

She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.

Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.

Waving is normal for you, because you're a social person.
The girl is retarded and probably anti-social.
In other words, she's the one at fault here, you're only being your social self.
