"The Kiss of Death Mistake"

You replay the conversation at 2 a.m. She texted back fast yesterday. Today, nothing. Was that smile friendly or flirty? What did the shoulder touch mean?

Every hour you spend decoding her signals drains your confidence and hands her the controls. Women can sense that insecurity from across the room — and it repels them.

One of the "22 Rules" kills the obsession on the spot: assume she likes you, and act accordingly. Sounds too simple. Works anyway.

Her interest tends to rise to meet your expectations. Psychologists call it a self-fulfilling prophecy.

Who is this @penkitten that you speak of?

Fork her over!:p
Sorry for the delay but I just caught this thread.
There have always been a few women posters on this forum. Some will only ask a few questions and eventually get bored of the site and stop logging in. Others of us stumble in and stay because there really isn't another forum like it.
I grew up here. I met some of my best friends here. I also met my husband here.
I haven't been on here daily for a few years now. It's not you guys, y'all are great. It's just I was busy prioritizing work, home, husband, kids.
An update for you guys- the older 3 kids have all graduated. One graduated basic and is training in my father's footsteps with the 101st and will be deployed in the next year.
One is in nursing school and has gotten married and has had to move across the country to where my new son in law is stationed. The youngest has been acting out and seems to be much better now.
I turned 40 yesterday.
So, it's been busy for me.

I may not be able to log in daily but I do try to come in and post when I can.
 

"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"

You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.

For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.

Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.

The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.

the women who come here are usually pretty nice people and fair minded, unicorn status in that regard. A good breath of fresh air for those of us in the game.
I dunno....you kind of expect this from post wall women. Most are 15/20+ years post wall too. Wiser by necessity not by virtue.

If you had hot 22 year olds here talking like LiveYourDream then you might have a point. But that's not the case at all.

Thank you. 40 feels great.
40? I don't even remember 40, lol.
I do remember one thing about my 40s though, they were basically the same thing as my 30s.
