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.
She calls you when her car breaks down. When she needs help moving. When some guy she's actually dating treats her badly.
You're the listener. The reliable one. The guy who would treat her so much better, if she'd just open her eyes.
She won't. You trained her to see you as the low-effort option — the friend who requires zero risk and zero investment. Every favor dug the hole deeper.
The "22 Rules" break the pattern. You'll stop auditioning for a role she already cast and become the man she chases instead. It starts with Rule 1.
Fixed. I hope Allen doesn't change servers again...Originally posted by NINJA PIMP
Yo CK...you might want to edit Señor Fingers WMS post. All the links are dead! Just do the same search/replace thing you did for your post and it should be fixed.
cheers,

btw- thanks for the props in the initial post!
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.
Nah, that's not the easter egg. I said it had something to do with mods.Originally posted by AFK Protector
I think the easter egg is in your signature. "One of my all-time favorite posts" by backbreaker.![]()
Nope, none of them.Originally posted by Big-J
Your easter egg better not be the free distributation, allen's email, or the fact that you included the highschool bible that's curiously missing a link from the main bible page (Nikki Hill's bible).

Wait a minute, Did you guys go and empty ALL the JUNK (or atleast most of it) out of those posts, leaving only the good stuff?
I noticed a few of those threads in there are a bit slimmer than they used to be. Please tell me you put 'em on a diet.
Nope. Though I think that happened anyway, but that's not the thing I'm talking about.Originally posted by Big-J

whats the prize?
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.
