"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.

"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"

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.

Get 1 head iceberg lettuce.
My family's earliest patriarch settled here, because he fell off a lettuce truck on its way to Chicago. He must have been drunk, because I'm not anywhere near Chicago.

Iceberg has a bad reputation because people think of it as that factory-shredded crap on a fast food burger. Anything is bad when treated so poorly. My grandma grew iceberg lettuce, and it was delicious.

Corn beef, spam and veggie omlette with steamed rice is also a nutritious meal after a good work out. Drink it with flavored chocolate or strawberry milk as a treat.

Hi Travels,
"Drink it with flavored chocolate or strawberry milk"...No,no,no,a culinary triumph like this deserves at least a chilled glass of Traminer or Chablis.
 

"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.

Those meals sound delicious.

I put together a gourmet cheese platter, couple of glasses of wine. Most meals I make have tomato and ask her to take a tiny taste. I give her a taste from the wooden spoon, chicks love it.
