Choose an option and discuss...
"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.
Do You Wear A Mask?
- Thread starter mickdollaz
- Start date
"She Laughed All Night. Then She Ghosted You. Here's Why."
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.

Only when inside places that it’s required. I think they’re stupid. Sick should just stay home. Lots of fear mongering, numbers being cooked, shutdowns are awful for America, and mask are eventually going to harm the healthy the longer this goes on.
"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.
I wear a mask when I'm in the company of people, not so much for me but for others, it is a form of respect, in keeping with Asian culture norms.
I also go out of my way to keep a reasonable distance from those I seldom interact with, so that I don't infect those that I do.
This too is a sign of respect and love.
Besides the above, I ensure that I carry a small hand sanitizer in my pocket and diligently uses it after touching anything in public, like staircase railings or the local 7-11 store door handle.
So that I don't infect others that I care, appreciate and love.
This is my respect towards them.
And it doesn't take much of my time nor is it hard.

Of course, both at work and while out and about. I have been exposed to corona patients, my latest as of about 14 days ago and have not been tested since that last encounter. Since someone who has the virus and is not sick/symptomatic can transfer it to people including my friends, family, and residents of age and underlying conditions I wear it to protect them.
Honestly it's the Christian thing to do.

If there were no mandates, I'd probably wear one in close quartered indoor spaces where social distancing is not possible. However, I haven't done that much since this whole deal began, so I never wore one until the mandates. Now, I wear it where it's required, but only as a baseline measure of respect. So, my answer above was "Rarely....".
I don't really listen to any of the experts. My own independent judgment tells me that masks help in the situation I described above in my first sentence. I also really don't think the lack of mask wearing is causing cases to go up - that is being done by young people and poor people - people who do not give 3 f*cks about masks. It's not being transmitted at grocery stores in middle class neighborhoods.
Use your God-given brain and form your own opinions. That's all I will say.

"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.

Had my first incident from a landwhale redhead who looked at me as if she'd seen a ghost and said, "where's your mask?" and started backing up as I walked forward in the grocery store, and then when I walked back she moved towards me then back as I moved towards her, I started unbuttoning my shirt and acting weird just as she was then I did a toro holding a bull red flag ole to have her pass on by. She complained to the manager of the store on me and wanted to speak to the owner of the store who was not there. Sure she'll call some health department to make a complaint against the store for not kicking me out. They KNOW me. I know them all by name, the checkout girls old and young by name for Years I've been shopping there. The manager wouldn't say a word to me. My mask snapped and doesn't work anymore I told the landwhale pig redhead but because SHE is a liar (Interrogation 101), I suppose she thought I was lying. I looked on her with disgust like, "You've gotta be kidding me?" or "not This again..."

I wear it indoors, but I have an automatic negative knee-jerk reaction to anyone telling me to do anything, ever.
The rules around this are pretty stupid. Babies don't need to wear one. And in a certain oregon county, black people don't need to wear one.
People wearing masks while they're walking around outdoors and 200 feet away from any other people (see it all the time) are f*cking idiots.

"Why Women Dump the Guys Who Try the Hardest"
You paid for dinner. You drove. You said "whatever you want is fine" every single time. All the effort, no expectations.
And she left anyway — probably for a guy who makes her pick up the pizza.
Painful. Also predictable. Her mind quietly concludes that anything requiring zero effort from her is worth exactly zero. You became a free sample, and free samples get taken for granted.
The 22 Rules flip the dynamic. Small shifts that get her investing effort, money, and time in you — until SHE'S the one afraid of losing YOU.

Wearing a mask while grocery shopping is an assault against your freedom and not wearing one is your interpretation of fighting for it?

Old soviet scifi film comes to mind.

I am alien foreman. And I’m Georgian.

"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.
