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.
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.
Are you American?Jerusalem belongs to the Jews, they can do as they please with it and it's nobody's business to say otherwise.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/JerusalemToday, the status of Jerusalem remains one of the core issues in the Israeli–Palestinian conflict. During the 1948 Arab–Israeli War, West Jerusalem was among the areas captured and later annexed by Israel while East Jerusalem, including the Old City, was captured and later annexed by Jordan. Israel captured East Jerusalem from Jordan during the 1967 Six-Day War and subsequently annexed it into Jerusalem, together with additional surrounding territory.[note 6] One of Israel's Basic Laws, the 1980 Jerusalem Law, refers to Jerusalem as the country's undivided capital. All branches of the Israeli government are located in Jerusalem, including the Knesset (Israel's parliament), the residences of the Prime Minister (Beit Aghion) and President (Beit HaNassi), and the Supreme Court. Whilst the international community rejected the annexation as illegal and treats East Jerusalem as Palestinian territory occupied by Israel,[32][33][34][35] Israel has a stronger claim to sovereignty over West Jerusalem

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 just show your ignorantes and how brainwashed you are by the media.You are clueless.Appalling foreign policy. Only beaten by the ripping up of the international nuclear deal with Iran. Trump is a menace to world peace.
Now you have Israelite soldiers shooting Palestinian teenagers with impunity. Not to mention the recent heavy-handed bombings in Syria.
Btw, did you know that Jerusalem not mentioned in the Koran not even once, while mention in the old testament 660 times???The USA under the leadership of Donald J. Trump moves the US embassy to Jerusalem tomorrow.
Yes, I admit it. I have been watching a bit of Al Jazeera. That said, I balance it out with some CNN and BBC. The problem today is people are just subscribing to one channel/ media source... and then consider everything else 'fake news'.This is anti-Semitic propaganda. You've been watching too much Al Jazeera and PressTV again, haven't you? Or do you get your news from KKK David Duke and traitor Ken O'Keefe?
What those channels do to convince gullible people like you, is include every 19 year old throwing rocks and Molotov c0cktails as a "teenager" and a "civilian", when they are clearly armed combatants fighting the IDF.
Jerusalem has been a Jewish city for 5,000 years. Facts.
Once again an over-reaction on Israel's part... they are risking a major confrontation with Iran. A day after Trump rips up the nuclear deal with Iran, Israel starts dropping bombs on Syria. Instead of being a holder of the peace.. between enemies, Trump is giving Israel something of a blank check. I'm not simplistically painting one side good and one side evil... international politics is about a lot more than that.... there are political realities that have to be observed.You just show your ignorantes and how brainwashed you are by the media.You are clueless.
The heavy bombing in Syria was to eradicate the permanent military bases Iran started erected in Syria, as future frontier against israel (and this bombing happened after Iranian soldier shoot 20 missiles to israel.)
( and btw,Israel is THE ONLY democratic country in the middle east , and the only one who stand against the Iranian expansion )
Get your f*cking fact right. Israel bombed Iranian military bases AFTER iranian soldiers fired 20 missiles into Israel, and after endless diplomatic attempts asking iran to withdraw its military bases from Syria.A day after Trump rips up the nuclear deal with Iran, Israel starts dropping bombs on Syria.
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.

Yeah, don't have patients for this bs. Lefties and liberals, with their politically correct approach , will bring the end to this world.
Ok, it's RT, but you can watch it with a grain of salt.![]()
This kind of language only reflects a simplistic black and white view of the world.Yeah, don't have patients for this bs. Lefties and liberals, with their politically correct approach , will bring the end to this world.
Europeans liberals countries have no idea how to deal with middle easteren countries, and don't understand middle eastern countries mentality.
Dinner ran three hours. She laughed at everything. You walked her to her car thinking this one's locked in.
Then: nothing. Two texts. No reply. What happened?
You did what most men do on a great date. You filled every silence, answered every question, and left her with nothing to wonder about. No mystery. Nothing to sit with when she got home.
Rule 3 of the "22 Rules" changes the ending: tell her a little, hold back the rest, and let her imagination do the chasing. The ghosting stops too.
On 9/11 I remember Palestinians dancing and celebrating (in the streets ) the deaths of thousands of Americans,today I will celebrate and dance,payback is a b!tch..37 killed and over 2000 injured in the latest protests. Remind me how many Israeli soldiers have been killed or injured.....
The Zionists have turned the Gaza strip into a ghetto, and are in danger of becoming the very thing that persecuted them years ago.
That may have been the case, but cooler heads have to prevail in politics, or otherwise it is war, where no one wins.On 9/11 I remember Palestinians dancing and celebrating (in the streets ) the deaths of thousands of Americans,today I will celebrate and dance,payback is a b!tch..
You are right European liberals are weak betas ,thank god for Trump having the balls to confront the problem head on.Trump has already put North Korea in it's place and they are now obeying Trump.Iran is shaking in their boots because the USA runs the world again and that is how it should be.Yeah, don't have patients for this bs. Lefties and liberals, with their politically correct approach , will bring the end to this world.
Europeans liberals countries have no idea how to deal with middle easteren countries, and don't understand middle eastern countries mentality.
Again, you only post what is comfortable to you.37 killed and over 2000 injured in the latest protests.
