You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.
For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.
Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.
The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.
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'm @ a library, not much good there... my god, InSaine, you get irked so easily... I never even crossed you... oh well, just wait!Originally posted by Saine
Not GigaloDJ but GigalöDJ. Allen, he's making our lives on the forum worse!
Do a geographic ban, I used to have a forum so I know.
I hope Allen is a smart tech on PHP otherwise..
Geographic ban is more effective than anything else.Originally posted by Nocturnal
The guy imitating people's names (GigalöDJ, Poök etc) is causing a lot of disruption. Allen you can do an IP ban right? This is getting a little bit out of hand and there are just as many complaints about it as there are posts by him.
What is a geographic ban? Does that mean no one from his area can log on to SoSuave? What if he lives in New York? Does that mean all of Manhattan is banned? Unless the guy lives in Ohio I don't think a Geographic ban is the brightest thing you can do.Originally posted by Saine

IP ban, he could refresh his ipconf. and he has a new IP.
Email ban doesn't work be cause I could sign up for hotmail.
The only way to escape geographic ban is to move to another location which is harder. The same line is the same line.
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.
Geographic ban mean from telephone number ban to address ban.Originally posted by MVPlaya

Spiffy like Spizzay like yizzay? Is that SnoopDogg+Jay-Z talk. NEway, thx for xplaining, now I know. However, I don't see the good of banning a public library from access to SS.Originally posted by Saine

I mean, clearly, losers like that just want attention. Metavirus/Rocket_Ship/Random_Loser/Random_Ship/14yearoldmonster/Poök/GigalöDJ/Elite_Womanizer/etc/etc/etc. Instead of replying to their stupid posts, just ignore them, let their stupidity fall on deaf ears. Instead, two stupid posts by some dome idiot turn into an all-star publicity stunt with half the SOSuave community taking notice. Just erase their posts and ban their acocunts... I mean... how many e-mail accounts can he keep making until he figures out taht no one will remember his stupid sh!t?
