I'm majoring in something lucrative and I'm trying to maintain my focus, but god this place sucks. Please tell me it gets better after graduation.
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.
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.
This pretty much sums it up. If you hate it, just leave. If you stay, you are basically accepting everything that happens to you.SmooveMooves said:Transfer . Leave the school. if your not happy with something change it. Be a man and start making decisions that will benefit you and make you happy .I know I was going through something similar, I would try my hardest to get away. Stop feeling sorry for yourself, stop b1tching, and stop with these sorry posts. "I wish I was gay" Is not something any grown man who deserves respect would say.
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.
True but it might not be easy for him to just up and leave schools at a whim. The school might have one of the best programs in his degree or he is almost done with his degree or his life is based in that state. Who knows?SmooveMooves said:Transfer .
