"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.

How do those of you who go to church or have gone to church control your sexual feelings when there are so many temptations around you while during mass? Especially if you only see certain women during that time?
 

"She's Out of Your League"

You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.

Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.

She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.

Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.

If I feel that way then I would throw 1 Cor 7:2,9 back at condemning thoughts because it's written in the Bible to avoid sexual temptation one is supposed to be married. It says to avoid fornication, people should be married and have a spouse.

1 Cor 7:9 acknowledges that people have sexual temptations if they don't have a spouse to release that sexual energy on. God created sex between married people so there is nothing wrong with sex itself in marriage. How do you think you were born in the first place? Where would you get the idea that it is wrong?

If you are not attracted to women, then how do you expect to want to be married in the first place? I'd say go and find someone and get married, and if you get rejected then at least you tried to deal with your sexual temptation.

There are no attractive women at my church, and that is probably for the best.

Quite possibly.

It's a good opportunity to practice self-control/discipline. Ironically, ignoring women makes them more attracted, so there you go.
 

"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."

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.

True, that.
 

"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"

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.

I noticed that a lot, at about age 11, and totally blew it off, (and all religion) by age 13. It's all just so obviously a crutch for the inept, intended from the start to set up the 'witch doctors" with an easy life.

Once you realize that life doesn't mean anything and you might as well kill yourself, then you may just change that tune.

I really don't understand the thinking of people like you. You're like a progress bar that stays stagnant at 50%. You're basing your beliefs on the inadequacies of humans, which is the whole point of religion. You're basically saying "since dumb people use religion to get by, religion is stupid." That's like saying diapers are bad because babies crap their pants.
