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.
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.
So what exactly is the solution? Just never move in together? Or constantly go out without her?
That would explain why so many couples broke up during the lockdown/working from home

Im going to avoid marriage and living together so i wont be in a common law marriage. I don't want some woman taking half of my hard earned assets
This so much! People chase disney relationships
Choose your partner properly instead of settling easily. For example, This girl I just met tried gas lighting me on the spot and novice me wouldn't have known what she was doing, but due to my past relationships I was able to pick up on it.
She calls you when her car breaks down. When she needs help moving. When some guy she's actually dating treats her badly.
You're the listener. The reliable one. The guy who would treat her so much better, if she'd just open her eyes.
She won't. You trained her to see you as the low-effort option — the friend who requires zero risk and zero investment. Every favor dug the hole deeper.
The "22 Rules" break the pattern. You'll stop auditioning for a role she already cast and become the man she chases instead. It starts with Rule 1.
Why do you believe that is inevitable?
Just marriage stats in general, if half of all marriages end in divorce why bother? Those are not very good odds and I don't want to be screwed over.
Yes this. Seriously. Imagine investing in stocks and having a 50% chance of losing everything. No one would invest
That’s a cop out. 80% of all businesses fail. Should we just cower in fear?

When factoring in child support and alimony, it's close to 70% gross. You may be able to limit some of the damage with pre-nup, post separation agreement and separate accounts. But, one way or another, you will pay something.
I never claimed that myself, but it's a fair point. I've also wondered why if you're a high value male you see girls with lower quality guys. Sometimes HOT girls.
Before social media, yes. Nowadays, with everyone having the opportunity in replacing their current partner on a moments notice, not so much. If the top of the top celebrities are having issues, what do you think that regular dudes aren't?
The females delude themselves into thinking their in a "league" that doesn't even exist in reality. They price themselves out of the market until biology catches up with them.
