"The Kiss of Death Mistake"

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.

I had to ask the barista what song it was a few years ago and this one seems to be popular. What about you guys, anyone have a similar experience?

 

"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"

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.

Still here stuck in South East Asia, I wish I can board a flight and head out to San Antonio and hear a local blues band jam out to a Few Stones and Bad Company covers at a cafe or something
 

"She Laughed All Night. Then She Ghosted You. Here's Why."

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.

It's great, I've met a lot of great people here. I'm a retired Disabled Air Force Veteran currently taking care of my parents, they have a lot of health problems. We take care of each other and at times there a great source of support, Im just here waiting on my Dad whose a retired architect/engineer to finish off one of his building projects that he's been given as a favor, my parents own their own Hotel out here and I'm thankful to have that because thats my main source of social life out here. That and my regular dates on Tinder and meet ups.

I keep hearing this one, that's because I play it full blast whenever I see a hot babe and sit down next to her and act like I'm looking at something behind her while wearing a top hat, shades and a raincoat. Even if it's in the middle of summer.
