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.
She calls you when her car breaks down. When she needs help moving. When some guy she's actually dating treats her badly.
You're the listener. The reliable one. The guy who would treat her so much better, if she'd just open her eyes.
She won't. You trained her to see you as the low-effort option — the friend who requires zero risk and zero investment. Every favor dug the hole deeper.
The "22 Rules" break the pattern. You'll stop auditioning for a role she already cast and become the man she chases instead. It starts with Rule 1.
She should give the money she made to charity then. Then I’ll believe it.
There is a theological contoversy (called Lordship salvation controversy) on that very topic that I don't intend to get into. However, I'm on the Free Grace side of the controversy at this time (which means no perfomative works are necessary and faith alone is enough). Her actions, however, are a good sign that something did happen with her and the very reason her faith was brought up was an explanation of what she was doing. (ie Removing tatooes that she feels are demonic, etc...).

You should see some of the 60 year olds simps are paying to look at...just brutal.
Never spent a second on OF, but when I see this kind of crap I feel like I'm in that movie "Idiocracy" and I just woke up from a 500 yr cryosleep to an upside down world.
I think Electric Chair Jesus would be a good name for a band.
I could talk to any woman I wasn't attracted to. Charming, funny, relaxed. Then a gorgeous woman looked my way and I'd become a sweating, babbling mess.
The fix took me years to find and ten minutes to learn. Nervousness and excitement are the same physical state — pounding heart, adrenaline, flushed face. Your brain just picks the label. And you can pick a better one.
Rule 16 shows you how. You feel the nerves, relabel them as excitement, and let that energy pour out as enthusiasm. Women notice the guy radiating it. They always do.
I know people can change through Biblical means, but I'll believe it when I see it. I know my own father turned his life around at age 30. Went from taking every drug out there at the time, being abusive, etc., to being actively involved in a church and eventually a deacon. That's a true exception to the norm though. Usually there's a major wake up call that triggers the change.
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.
She's slept with a long list of rappers and celebrities. Shes one of those boppers that goes around sleeping with everyone in big industries/dudes with money// getting nice gifts from them etc but tries to be cute and feminine wherever she is.
