"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.

AskMen.com top 10 reasons not to get married...

"I just moved here from Florida."

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.

I have seen enough of bad marriages to know it's not worth the hassle and pain but I always get from friends it might be different for you Power.

My Mom is the only one who has told me to stay away from marriage and never have been pressured by her it's only been friends or neighbors pushing the marriage thing.


I will be 52 April and a bachelor my whole life why would I want to screw myself up now for I no longer fear being alone and very content with my single life.

It is a good read. Even better is looking at the opposite article, "10 Reasons to get married."

All of their reasons to get married suck. They're terrible. "You'll continue your bloodline." "You won't die alone." "You'll have 2 incomes, so you can buy a big TV."

Compare that to the "NOT getting married" article that talks about a life of spontaneity and adventure.

Interesting read. There's arguments for marriage and certainly arguments against. Good thing I'm too young to really give a d*mn.
 

"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"

Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."

You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.

She's been waiting forty minutes.

Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.
