Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.
She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.
Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.
So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.
The words come later. The impression comes first.

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.
penkitten, thanks for the honesty... seriously... you've helped a lot of people with that comment.penkitten said:no i caught it with a condom.
i was more of an advocate speaking out about it, a few years ago when i caught it , and there are some threads in health and fitness that are all merged together. i have had it for a little over 5 years.MDgood said:penkitten, thanks for the honesty... seriously... you've helped a lot of people with that comment.
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.
It seems like you would be far less prone.I don't know if a person who reguarly gets cold sores is more or less prone to getting genital/oral herpes as opposed to a guy who gets no kind of cold sores or visa versa.
i am a womandot said:^ are you a man or woman?
I still don't see how you can accurately screen girls for warning signs. I mean the girl could not seem like a "promiscuous" person, and she might not even know herself.
no, some can be ingrown hair or whatever.oakraiderz2 said:Hmmm...so im assuming all bumbs that are down there are herpes? Damn...
You can skip the expensive cars, the fancy clothes, and the endless gym selfies. Completely unnecessary.
I used to freeze the second a beautiful woman looked my way. Frustrated. Awkward. Watching other guys walk away with the girl while I stood there tongue-tied.
Then I discovered 22 simple rules that rewired my entire dating life. The anxiety vanished. Conversations flowed effortlessly. Women started chasing me for a change.
These rules trigger a woman's subconscious attraction switches. And you can start using them tonight.
thats what i am trying to get at dot...dot said:None of these posts are making me feel better about properly deciding whether or not the girl is dirty.
hmmm...some might be ingrown hairs. i have a single bump, i dont think its herpes cause it doesnt look like it would be.penkitten said:no, some can be ingrown hair or whatever.
some could be warts (just as bad)
just be weary...be on the lookout for anything you dont like.
do you have a fever?oakraiderz2 said:hmmm...some might be ingrown hairs. i have a single bump, i dont think its herpes cause it doesnt look like it would be.
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.
What?because so many say they did not have signs of it and their partners get it anyhow... they tell you that you can get it without an outbreak (coldsores) present.
ever see a valtrex commercial?dot said:What?
So are you saying, the only time that you can catch it when they don't have an outbreak, is in the initial 2 week period of them catching it?penkitten said:regardless, that is why they say you can catch it even if there are no outbreaks present (cold sores)
I could talk to any woman I wasn't attracted to. Charming, funny, relaxed. Then a gorgeous woman looked my way and I'd become a sweating, babbling mess.
The fix took me years to find and ten minutes to learn. Nervousness and excitement are the same physical state — pounding heart, adrenaline, flushed face. Your brain just picks the label. And you can pick a better one.
Rule 16 shows you how. You feel the nerves, relabel them as excitement, and let that energy pour out as enthusiasm. Women notice the guy radiating it. They always do.
