Well, what do you think about these teams?
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.
You paid for dinner. You drove. You said "whatever you want is fine" every single time. All the effort, no expectations.
And she left anyway — probably for a guy who makes her pick up the pizza.
Painful. Also predictable. Her mind quietly concludes that anything requiring zero effort from her is worth exactly zero. You became a free sample, and free samples get taken for granted.
The 22 Rules flip the dynamic. Small shifts that get her investing effort, money, and time in you — until SHE'S the one afraid of losing YOU.
You made your case like a lawyer. Stable job. Good guy. Ready for something real. All true. All irrelevant.
She weighed your points, nodded along, felt nothing — then fell hard for some tattooed bartender with a motorcycle and a gambling problem.
Logic is where attraction goes to die. The "22 Rules" work a level deeper, on the subconscious switches that decide within minutes whether you register as a MAN or as part of the furniture.
Stop presenting evidence. Start flipping switches.
I like the bears over the skins any time.Originally posted by StrangeButTrue
Yeah, Simms choked big-time.
I figured the Skins might be a sleeper team, too.
I say the Bears go to the big game. Winning it is a whole different matter all together, though.
Dinner ran three hours. She laughed at everything. You walked her to her car thinking this one's locked in.
Then: nothing. Two texts. No reply. What happened?
You did what most men do on a great date. You filled every silence, answered every question, and left her with nothing to wonder about. No mystery. Nothing to sit with when she got home.
Rule 3 of the "22 Rules" changes the ending: tell her a little, hold back the rest, and let her imagination do the chasing. The ghosting stops too.
Good or bad IYO?Originally posted by Bible_Belt
T.O may go to Tampa.
I wouldn't fire Gruden, but I would consider firing Simms. He threw away the game(no pun intended). But florida coaches have been making bad decisions lately. In the Jags-pats game, i would have never let Leftwich start, due to his injury, that was just stupid. Also, the linebacker that had the cast on his right hand should not have started either. I don't know what the Jags coach was thinking. These guys can't play effectively with just one limb.Originally posted by Bible_Belt
I don't hate TO like many people. In a way, I admire him for challenging an entire NFL team to a fistfight. He has cahones, as you South Americans say.
If it was my team, I would fire Simms and Gruden, and make Monte Kiffen head coach and let Tim Rattay play QB. Then spend money to replace the talent in the secondary that was lost when Lynch left. An experienced qb and secondary will yield a positive turnover margin, which is what wins ball games. Turnovers were all the Redskins needed to win. Offense is not required to win football games.
