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.
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.
You're defending warmonger Bolton?Trump is trying to have Bolton thrown in jail right now. As soon as he gets away with one crime, he commits a bigger one. In the unlikely event he wins in 2020, polling behind every single top dem candidate at this point, he will just get impeached again.
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.
The house impeachment wasnt a sham and a political stunt?A sham trial amounts to acquitted in name only. His crimes won’t be covered up forever. Don’t get all crazy when he loses in November.
Deflection. Trials have witnesses and documents. Sham trial is a cover up.The house impeachment wasnt a sham and a political stunt?
The house impeachment wasnt a politically motivated sham....???....Deflection. Trials have witnesses and documents. Sham trial is a cover up.
I wouldn't be surprised if we were entering a period of time where nearly every president gets impeached. Considering how divided the two parties are, and how impeachment is basically just a political tool now.In the unlikely event he wins in 2020, polling behind every single top dem candidate at this point, he will just get impeached again.

Should the president be allowed to use extortion and cheat in elections?I wouldn't be surprised if we were entering a period of time where nearly every president gets impeached. Considering how divided the two parties are, and how impeachment is basically just a political tool now.
Impeachment, much like the "racist, sexist, homophobia, transphobia etc" rhetoric has essentially lost all meaning due to the left's constant wolf crying. If they could impeach Trump for sending mean tweets, they'd do it.I wouldn't be surprised if we were entering a period of time where nearly every president gets impeached.

Keep deflecting all the way until November.The house impeachment wasnt a politically motivated sham....???....

Lol, not getting drawn into that discussion, sure way to get the thread locked.Should the president be allowed to use extortion and cheat in elections?
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.
It's a yes or a no question. Should a president be allowed to use extortion and cheat in elections? Yes or no?Lol, not getting drawn into that discussion, sure way to get the thread locked.
Actually Forum rules still state no politics. When a political thread becomes an opportunity to spout political propaganda to others and not have an open discussion, then it becomes objectionable andIt's funny how political arguments were banned on this web site during the impeachment, but now seem to be permitted that it is over.
