What, being religious?Aboleo said:No sh!t.
"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.
Ah love! "Father Clings to Life After Brutal Killings"
- Thread starter comic_relief
- Start date
"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.

wow theres some pretty interesting statistics about age groups of offenders. heres the chart (Its labled "Homicide offending rates followed a similar pattern"):

There defintely was a rash of adolecent violence in the 1990s. What the hell was going on between 1985 and 1995?! Recently, though, it looks like crime for both 14-17 year olds and 18-24 year olds is about the same now as it was in 1975.
I wish it had statistics for earlier... like going back to 1950 or before, but there seems to be a difference between public opinion and reality.

The fact that this was written about in the Bible proves my point on its own. I could give you many more examples to show how you are wrong, but it should be obvious at this point. So, even if I were religious it still wouldn't discredit me in the least.

It is truly amazing how quickly ones life can be turned upside down. I wonder what he will do with himself now.
On the flip side, I honestly have to wonder if perhaps he brought this upon himself... it was his daughter who did this, after all. Are we not responsible for our children?
