I remember a female classmate of mine told me: “People aren’t always considered “nice” by being nice.
This translates into the area of flaking and “wussy nice guy behaviour”.

A great way to get good inner game is to make it a habit to act with self-respect and class. In all of our dealings, not just with women in dating-type situations.

This will boost you when you are in front of women in the future. See, you know women are safety-seeking creatures. You know from your past behavior you provide that safety for her. That will only give you confidence.

Anyway, relating to Tip #1, you’re not acting that way just for her, you’re acting that way for you. See you gain self-esteem and self-trust if you handle her flaking as Marni suggested via Tip #1.

I have an issue with Tip #2 tho, for a different reason from Valmont’s. What if her phone is off or in her purse? I know this won’t be the case 95% of the time, but stranger things have happened. Actually it is far more likely that she is indeed on her way to the date and she gets the text and doesn’t respond because she doesn’t think a response is needed. Anyway, a guy very well might miss a date with a great woman who did show up if he uses this trick.

why should the guy HOPE that being 10 minutes late to a day is okay with her or should he be punished? is she his momy? What is she gonna say “No, that is totally not cool!” . I mean it’s a freakin’ date not an investment banking interview.

“running bout 10 minutes late. should be there shortly” sounds better to my ears.
No women wants to feel like she is having a date with a child asking her permission.
since when do women ask permission? I think guys should start thinking and treating themselves like hot women do. reverse the game on them!
