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.
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.
Time to line up and take another shot, boyos...
China reports first human case of H10N3 bird flu
There is no indication that H10N3 can spread easily in humans.www.nbcnews.com
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.
I would guess china cares enough to take a sample and grow it out in their (totally not a germ warfare) lab. Give it time.
Strange they haven't succeeded yet, this type of virus has been around for decades. How much time were you thinking? A couple of centuries?
Facial recognition technology everywhere, as well as tracking across all social media to constantly evaluate that social credit...too bad they didnt put that much effort into securing their germ collection.
That comes from someone that has a frog dressed as a pope. OoOokay, right.
She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.
Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.
The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.
Allow me to do us both a favor and simplify this little situation, you're not worth my time so I won't be going back and forth with you. Carry on as you were. Have a good one.
No need to get triggered, just use the ignore function, I take no offense.
