"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."

Attraction runs on a clock.

She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.

The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."

One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.

Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.

I have a bonus son who has a decision coming up to either reenlist or get out of the army. Airborne with 18 jumps, never been deployed and stationed in Alaska. Reenlisting for 3 years would likely get him a European assignment in Italy or Germany. He expresses some dismay he has not done a tour in a hostile area.

He is a smart kid. I think he should use his GI bill to pay for his housing and tuition for at least the first 2 years of university. He is worried he "doesn't know what he would like to do" so he might reenlist. Both his parents have 4 year degrees.

@RangerMIke and other Army Vets, any words of wisdom for what another 3 years in the US Army could mean for him?
 

"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"

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.

First off, tell him I said thank you for his service. And thanks to other men putting their lives on the line in whatever shape or form for others.

Second, I do not believe the government nor society does enough to assist veterans to plug back into society. The longer he stays in the army the harder it will be down the line. The Army does provide some financial assistance and some other programs (like trade schools), so I would be inclined to advise him to use his GI bill towards starting to plug back into society and do something he can feel fulfillment.

On the other hand, if he has already planned for his future and has a strong financial foundation waiting for him when he gets out, traveling and experiencing the world is never a bad idea. However, I would leave it to other Army vets to provide insight as to what that actually looks like vs what one might expect.
