"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.

"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.

Where I be at
if you are thinking about suicide, SoSuave isn't the place for you. Seek professional help where you can discuss a solution and all parties have the possibilites of benefitting. I understand that the situation can be hard (an understatement) but commtiting suicide? What about your daughter? Are you really that selfish? If the mother is as bad as you claim there will be no future without you there

Dont even think about suicide, Especially if you have a 7 month old child. Seek pro help man.
 

"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.

ScrewIt----Condom's aren't 100% effective. I thought you'd learn that FIRST in sex ed.

Anyways, for the young man posting, seek professional help. Suicide isn't the answer. You do need help, and you dont want to take the cheap and selfish way out.

Good luck.

Let this be a shining example why having sex isn't what it's all cracked up to be.

See the DNA results before you think about suicide!:rolleyes:

Please, don't do it. Get help fast! Talk to someone who cares about you. Call a hotline. I know what it's like to feel like everything is hopeless. But you have to believe me. These feelings will pass. Stay strong and find someone who will listen to you.

Finlay, what doesn't kill you makes you stronger, wiser and a better person.

Suicide destroys the people who love you and who you love. If totally f*cks up children beyond repair. You're feeling low now, like there's no hope. Wait this rough time out and things will get better...they always do. You've got people doing their best to support you...do NOT let them down and leave them feeling like they failed you. Pull yourself together and plug on through. As long as you don't quit you haven't failed. Remember that. You ONLY fail when you give up the fight and quit. That baby NEEDS you. Your family NEEDS you.

Call a crisis hotline and talk to someone. There are many, many resources for support out there that you aren't even aware of to help people in situations like this. Make the call and get some people advocating for support services for you. That's what they are there for.

And above ALL else...remember that the feeling of despair WILL pass...just give it a little time. You can make it through...as long as you do NOT quit.

If you cannot support the child give it up for adoption, there are plenty of people who can and will....

Oh, let me guess, the stupid ho you knocked up won't give the kid away...

You are screwed. Welcome to the club. Get some counseling and get rid of the mother, somehow (legally).

I am going to get my **** together, agreed i need help, but in what form does that come?

Its like im not sure who i am anymore at times, so im gunna see sombody about it.
 

"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.

job........

Hey,

Put the college on the back burner (attend night school).

You and the babies mother both get real jobs and get some cash coming in.

Also, seek professional help.

Grow up.

A LOT sooner than you expected to.

You're NOT going to have the same kind of social time that your friends did. That's just the way it's gonna be. Sure you'll be able to go out and let loose every ONCE in a while, but to expect to be able to party it up like your buddies are is unrealistic in your situation.

No, it's not "fair". Life isn't "fair". You do what you have to do, though. You can't go around whining about it...you made the choice to put your wee-wee inside a girl, so you have to accept this possibility. Right now, the most important thing in your life is your kid and your education.

At least you have people to help you out. There are people much more "fvcked" than you.

You can still lead a "full" life. You'll just have to put more effort forth than most of us.

And I agree with the guy who was talking about quitting smoking and drinking. You'll reclaim a lot of your lifetime and, more importantly, MONEY if you quit now.
