"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.

Now i know i havnt posted much, but im not new and am no longer an AFC. But tonight i scared myself. A girl that i have been friends with sent me a text asking for a ride. But for about the past 7 months we havnt really talked other than saying hi in the halls, and the only time she would call me was when she needed things. Most of the time i would say no and on an occasion i would say yes (she is supposedly a friend afterall) but tonight i was fed up. So i called her and said

Me: hey
Her: hi
Me:well ill be honest with you. your a cool girl and i like you, but for a while now the extent of our friendship has been saying hi in the halls. Whats that? Nothing. So i dont feel obligated to go out of my way and give you a ride.
her:alrighty
me:bye

Now im guessing when you read that you felt a chill in your spine, because after i hung up the phone i did. You see i feel that i just pulled an extreamly AFC move. I should have just told her no. I dont know....seems like no big deal but i scared myself because i dont know where that came from and i dont want to go back to the AFC days.

....great now im paranoid.

"You Can't Argue a Woman Into Liking You"

You made your case like a lawyer. Stable job. Good guy. Ready for something real. All true. All irrelevant.

She weighed your points, nodded along, felt nothing — then fell hard for some tattooed bartender with a motorcycle and a gambling problem.

Logic is where attraction goes to die. The "22 Rules" work a level deeper, on the subconscious switches that decide within minutes whether you register as a MAN or as part of the furniture.

Stop presenting evidence. Start flipping switches.

Yeah, a quick and plain "no I can't" would have been best. But you did better than "sure, I'll be right there".. So :up: for that

You should have requested some road #e@d in exchange for your services.

(in all seriousness, stop worrying about it and do better next time)
 

"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.

Not AFC, could have been handled better, but definately not AFC. I had some users like that in my life before I changed. Ironically they got together and had a talk about how I'd changed and was "an ass" a few months after I started coming here and changing my life. All I did was stop doing them all these little favors I'd been doing before in hopes of getting in their favor.
