"The Kiss of Death Mistake"

You replay the conversation at 2 a.m. She texted back fast yesterday. Today, nothing. Was that smile friendly or flirty? What did the shoulder touch mean?

Every hour you spend decoding her signals drains your confidence and hands her the controls. Women can sense that insecurity from across the room — and it repels them.

One of the "22 Rules" kills the obsession on the spot: assume she likes you, and act accordingly. Sounds too simple. Works anyway.

Her interest tends to rise to meet your expectations. Psychologists call it a self-fulfilling prophecy.

Ill try my best to explain this. This may sound pretty bad and self-centered, but do you ever have a conversation with people and you just dont give a f*ck what theyre saying? Say you meet someone you havent seen in a year or so, and your asking them a bunch of questions about their life. Than if you walked away, five minutes later you probably wouldnt remember a thing they said to you. I feel like ,while theyre talkiing, im just preparing what im going to say next, and not even listening to what theyre saying. Im thinking people usually catch on to this. If i was telling someone about my life, i would hope theyre listening and give a damn about what i say. Kind of a double standard i have. Maybe alot of people feel like this, and it comes down to the saying people only care about themselves. Can anyone relate?
 

"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.

yah read that crimson, i agree with most of it. This topic also reminds me of Fight Club, where tyler says people only listen to what he has to say, when hes at the meetings with people who are going to die. Usually people just wait for their turn to speak.

I work as a bank teller, so im constantly talking to people every minute a new person. It gets really tiring pretending to be nice to people, and asking how their days going.

"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.
