"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.

I sold an item for less then half of what they were selling for on ebay (so the buyer could fix any malfunction and still be a head, if the item broke or stopped working).

Low and behold, one week later the item malfunctions and the buyer is calling me. Keep in mind, i owned this piece of equipment since 2000 and never had any problem.

What is the ethical thing to do? I tried pricing it fairly, realizing that things do break.

Thanks-
 

"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.

dont refund his money, explain to him you priced it low for a reason and it was fully functional when he received it, you have no control over when things break and you offered no warranty.

Now, unless you knew it was going to break soon, then thats unethical, but if you didnt and you just wanted to give him a lower price just in case something goes wrong so he can fix it like you said, then dont refund his money...Thats only fair to the both of you.

No, i had no idea it was going to break (i used it a lot and he tested it before he bought it). The item i sold him is selling for 300-400 on ebay. I sold it for $150.00. The most expensive item to replace on this piece of equipment is the motor--$80.

I explained to him, and he will not take no for an answer. I am now wishing that i just threw the thing away, instead of selling it.

What was the method of payment? Hopefully not paypal. Ebay/paypal almost always sides with the buyer in disputes like these, no matter what. If the buyer complains enough, they'll just take the money right out of your paypal account.
 

"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"

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.

Beyond your peripheral vision
You do NOT ever have to refund someone for an item that (especially after a MONTH)

BREAKS
GETS LOST
DISAPPEARS
IS ABDUCTED BY ALIENS
GETS DIRTY

ect...


You see what I am saying??

As long as you made no warranties, you have no obligation to refund any money.

He just sent me an e-mail, stating that he wants me to buy it back or pay for the repair. I am definitely going to refuse his demands and stick to my position. The calls and e-mails are starting to agitate me. This just might be my last time selling something used, as the aggravation isn't worth the small profit.

Thanks for the feedback!!!!!!
