"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.

Well, honestly, I was going to make breakfast but I woke up late and she had already had some cereal. I kind of feel bad because my brothers and sisters who don't live with us sent gifts and stuff, probably expecting me to do lots of stuff too. I feel like I leech off my parents (by getting free rent), but maybe I should have done something more.

Still, I figure she was expecting it like every year. Instead, I'm going to make her some lunch on Wednesday when she has no idea (and is not expecting it).

I got her a card today.
 

"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"

Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."

You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.

She's been waiting forty minutes.

Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.

My Mom passed away a few years ago...but I am a Mom, so I can tell you what my kids did for me.

My 7 year old made a card for me, woke up early and climbed into my bed...kissed my forehead to wake me up and I was greeting with a HUGE, adorable grin and a "Happy Mother's Day!" She gave me the card signed by all the kiddos. She said "I'll be right back...don't get up!". She and her sister brought me home made waffles and coffee in bed. When I went downstairs the house was immaculate...they cleaned, did all the dishes...the works. And they haven't fought with each other once so far. I always tell them that all I ever want for mother's day, my birthday or Christmas is for them to clean and not fight. :D

I have such AWESOME kids!
