"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.

A lot of women I hear refuse to date men that meet men, give them their number, the guy calls her...makes plans, and flakes.

He calls back 6 months later, pretending nothing ever happened...as if their conversation took place a few days ago.

I am guessing these are the games that men play with women?
 

"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.

They refuse to date men who don't show up?

I'm pretty sure girls don't give out their number and pine for 6 months for a man to call.

So, no, these are not the games that men play with women.

ThisNThat.......I've been onto you from the start. You are a female posing as a male.
You ask way too many questions trying to gain insight into the male mind. In the one above its almost like you slipped and forgot to pretend you were a male with what I highlighted above.

A guy being concerned about the games men play with women is very odd.

Men rarely flake on dates.

At worst, a guy might get a number and not call her. He got busy or cold feet. Then he might call much later. I agree that it's weird to get a number, go ghost, and call her eight weeks later like it was yesterday lol.

It's more common than you think.
 

"I'm Not Looking for Anything Serious Right Now"

When a woman says it, guys hear a confession. A heads-up. A scheduling conflict.

Here's the translation: I don't feel anything. Right now. With you.

Watch what happens when a man triggers actual attraction. The busy career, the recent breakup, the "not in a place to date" — all of it evaporates instantly. The same woman who was guarding her freedom is suddenly free every night.

The "22 Rules" explain why. When the right switches flip, her timeline rearranges itself around you.

I always thought that ThisNThat was a little bit autistic or had some kind of mental handicap lmao. I guess I was wrong. Probably is a woman now that I think about it.
