"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.

Oddly enough, Spring Break is the biggest precursor for a breakup.

http://mathiasmikkelsen.com/2010/10/amazing-facts-about-facebook-and-breakups/

It's always funny to me when I have a guy ask me for advice about his suspicions that his GF is cheating, or something "just doesn't feel right" or should he NEXT her, only to have some die-hard white knight give me the All-For-Love speech when I tell him he should. We don't know for sure, talk it out with her, communicate better, be a good listeners, blah blah blah,..

Oh wait, Spring Break is a week out? Yeah, NEXT her.
:D
 

"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"

Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.

You've been "getting ready" for two years.

She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.

Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.

one of the reasons that I like being single, is not worrying about stuff like this.

My guess would have been Christmas...

Interestingly there are two major break up seasons...

In short, lots of single ladies after Christmas holiday and right after spring break.:yes:

This is old Rollo why are you posting it again? Just curious.
 

"I'm Not Looking for Anything Serious Right Now"

When a woman says it, guys hear a confession. A heads-up. A scheduling conflict.

Here's the translation: I don't feel anything. Right now. With you.

Watch what happens when a man triggers actual attraction. The busy career, the recent breakup, the "not in a place to date" — all of it evaporates instantly. The same woman who was guarding her freedom is suddenly free every night.

The "22 Rules" explain why. When the right switches flip, her timeline rearranges itself around you.

For what it's worth, my 3-year LTR broke up with me immediately after Spring Break.

haha "too cruel" christmas.

this is more reason to get out there boys! gogo! think about the huge % of more available girls there are at this point in time.. the odds are in our favor.
 

"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.
