Why "Whatever You Want" Keeps You Single

She says the movie looks dumb; you suddenly agree. She tests you with a little attitude; you apologize for nothing.

You think you're being easy to get along with. She reads something else entirely: a man with no edges. Nothing to hold on to. No friction, no tension, no reason to wonder what he really thinks.

The "22 Rules" taught me to push back — playfully, calmly, without needing her approval. Strange things happened after that.

have you guys experience frequent forgetfulness due to taking antidepressants? I seem to have that problem. I forget to bring along little things like car keys, contracts, or to say certain words.
 

"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"

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.

The active ingredient in Effexor is Venlafaxine and there hasn't been any published side effects such as forgetfulness directly. However Venlafaxine has been known to cause serious side effects in a few individuals like fainting spells and difficulty breathing. These could be due to a rapid heartbeat or palpitations. If that's happens see a doctor immediately.

Some of the more common side effects include agitation, anxiety, or restlessness, especially in the first week of treatment or when doses are changed. Sometimes its common to have blurry vision and various "sexual difficulties." :nervous: Again if these happen, see a doctor.

Other side effects that don't require medical attention include the typical side effects of most antidepressants; dry mouth, constipation, dizziness, drowsiness increased sweating, loss of appetite, loss of weight, nausea or tiredness, whew.

Try herbal stuff. St. John's Wort has good effect after awhile.

Also try to remove stresses from your life that could be causing depression. Because really.. depression is caused by stress, boith menatl and physical.
 

"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.
