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.
You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.
For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.
Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.
The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.
Attraction runs on a clock.
She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.
The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."
One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.
Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.
Either he was not a JW or you are remembering wrongly. It's one very clearly stated belief of JW that most people will be destroyed in Gods war (Armageddon) and the vast majority of survivors will live forever on earth, Hope of a heavenly salvation isn't something a devout JW would ever claim or promise.Wolf said:... I knew a guy who actually did a speech in English class about how he personally was going to get a place in heaven for all the people he liked.
Well maybe, but in my experience JW are very non-confrontational.Wolf said:... I also remember him insulting me on occassion and I was just stunned,
They are the modern version. Any JW who "partakes" is excommunicated swiftly and surely and is thus by definition no longer a JW.pete101 said:although i dont know how extreme a JW is.. like is there no modern version?
