If she sucks you off you have to quarantine your dicq.
"I just moved here from Florida."
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.

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.

It helps if you've already had the virus, and gotten over it.

Something went thru me when all this talk started. I had Diarrhea, that was rapid. High body Temps. 150+ heart rate. My breathing was not good. But I forced a hard workout thru it. It was gone in 2 days. No affect on sight or hearing.
My statement is in life in general and Covid is only a very small component of it.
But as to Covid, I'm almost certain I had it last year or some form of it. I'm one of those that never see's a doctor unless something is terribly wrong. Late last year, I was the sickest I've ever been and literally thought I might die so I went to the doctor, then when things didn't get better, I went to the ER, then went back to my doctor over the course of 3 weeks. I was bed ridden for 1 week. I had every single test done on me at that time(covid test wasn't even around) and everything came back negative. I even had a mono test done because I was so exhausted. After speaking with various friends and aquaintances, some of them also had gotten the sickest in their entire lives late last year too.
But even amongst that experience, I viewed it as more of an annoyance rather than worrying about if I would die or not. For me, I've always accepted death. If it comes for me, it will have me.
"Why Women Dump the Guys Who Try the Hardest"
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.

The diarrhea part was insane. Was like every 15 minutes, and of course after one or two it was just dirty water running thru my system. It was like my system was working over time to try to "get rid of something".
bud, its affecting me big time. My sleep, digestion. Snippy and fearful with regular people I see.
I can feel the stress cortisol damaging me. Just in the last week or so.
Booked Friday off work and Monday is Thanksgiving here so that's 4 days but its taking all my alpha? resolve to stay the rest of today at work and not call in for tomorrow.
I can't stand being run from fear like this.

It is unclear how long immunity lasts with covid-19.

You may not be signing up for what will come after though.
I don't worry about these things. Worrying solves nothing.
And as an ex CDC director once said, "worrying kills more than the disease itself".
"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"
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.

You should because you can't change anything then.
Just because you worry doesn't mean you can change anything that is out of your control.
Take crossing a busy street for example. You can worry and not choose to cross it but then you can just as easily get shot by some random person on the sidewalk.
Another example, you can do whatever precautions to not get Covid but then you might come down with cancer.

took over 6 months to get to me and guess what, I felt better after typing out my complaint.
I have a toolbox of tools to manage and let go of fear.
One is an acronym H.A.L.T.

yikes, sounds like you might have had it-hope you're good now. 2 days is excellent turnaround.

It was 4 months ago. Most definately "something" passed thru my system and my body was fighting and trying to pass whatever it was thru. It was like a serious stomach flu, but ontop of that symptom was high body temps and the 150+ heart rates...
hmmm, the high temp and fast pump rate helped your body flush it out-lucky, lucky.
Hope she doesn't come back.
Try to stay away from whatever or wherever you were in the days prior to getting this. Must have been end of May beginning of June.
