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 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.
Among the “94%” are those with permanent organ damage.
I had similar to that for a few days. Ear pressure, tiredness, and a small fever. No cough. No indigestion. Nothing else. It’s gone now and all I took was some Ibuprofen for the fever. Good thing I didnt tell “they” or “they” would have said it was Covid. It’s so funny how now that we have Covid no other medical conditions exist. There is no more pneumonia, no more general headaches, no more indigestion from eating too much Chilli. everything is Covid Covid Covid now.
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.
The estimate true case load is ten times the positive reported tests.
Yeah but wearing a mask can help you prevent tossing that coin where ppl loose their lives 6% of the times
When I got it, I had diarrhea that was so explosive, I thought I my toilet seat was going to be a rocket launch pad.
I also got the strange symptom of paresthesia in the far extremities. These are the symptoms of COVID that a regular flu or stomach flu don't incur. I also had stomach discomfort, but compared to some previous infections there, it was a little milderMasks decreases your chance of catching it by like 5%. Worthless.
Surgical masks filter about 60% of particles as opposed to 95% by respirators. Not perfect but not worthless. They also reduce viral load, the amt of virus present in an infected resident's blood. People are quick to point out that the virus seems less deadly than a few months ago which is thankfully true. I personally think it's because more people are getting much of the virus filtered out by surgical or even cloth masks. Enough to get infected but not sick like before.
Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."
You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.
She's been waiting forty minutes.
Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.
If that’s how you feel don’t wear one!
I don't
Good for you!
