Master Don Juan
It was a 20 year old who got a hold of his parent's weapons. I can't find any description of the shooter's bio just yet to make any judgements, But I do know his state of mind wasn't right.
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.

I can imagine it is traumatizing from what you've already said.I go there. It was truly traumatizing.
It is wild to think that 20 minutes is the difference between you being a gunshot victim and potentially dying and you being alive and healthy right now. It is something that many would have difficulty processing.He opened gunfire around 11:57 at the Student Union. My boyfriend and I were about 20 minutes away. I had a class at 1:20 and we were going to stop by there for a bite to eat. We had someone running with tears in her eyes warning us to NOT go anywhere further.
That's extremely frustrating. I was a college student from 2001-2005.We have class on Mondays. And finals. I guess they’re expecting us to continue as normal as though two people haven’t died and others in the hospital. We have ONE day off for a mass shooting even though we had a week off for a snow day.
Hi @SW15, thank you for your response and empathy. It is still difficult to process and still feels little unreal. The Student Union at Florida State truly felt like the safest place on campus, and it sucks that illusion is ruined to me now. Seeing people run for their lives was harrowing. The peace has been disturbed at a place where we were just trying to get an education.Taking classes on Monday is going to be difficult. I have empathy for you.
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.
Every one of your feelings is normal and it will take time to process.Hi @SW15, thank you for your response and empathy. It is still difficult to process and still feels little unreal.

The fact that so many of us students were so close to the area and keep thinking, god, if we just chose a different path that day or arrived earlier, what would have happened?
Not to mention, the shooter’s gun jammed several times as he reloaded and pointed it at people. It could have been so much worse.
It was terrible to have to take that test on the afternoon of 9/11. The professor's rationale was that we all studied for it on 9/9 and 9/10 and should have been prepared.The fact that your Professor didn’t postpone the test on the day of 9/11 is just unbelievable. If I were you, I would’ve gone home and reported him to the administration. I guess he had no heart or didn’t care about anything else about history. What a bot.
Yes, that is the kind of thing that happens after a tragedy.If there’s anything good that came out of the shooting, is that I’m now more grateful than ever for my life. To think that an hour before the incident my main concerns was finding a parking spot just seems so trivial now. Life is so precious.
I am sorry about this. Hey you mentioned " boyfriend". Are you a woman?I go there. It was truly traumatizing.

My classmates are being interviewed by CBS right now. This is insane.
The motives? Who cares. Some people say he was bullied, some say he was a supremacist, some say he hated women. It doesn’t matter, no sane person does this to innocent people. I don’t care if he was a virgin or an Incel this is no excuse for violence.
I am.Are you a woman?
Sorry for your trauma; I wouldn't necessarily buy all that you're being told though. A lot of these "events" are sketchy afI am.
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.
Yep. That he didn't instead drop by The Majestic Theatre in San Antonio on the night Rogan was taping Burn The Boats-arsenal in tow-and rid the planet of a bona fide pestilence, is testament to thisBut I do know his state of mind wasn't right
You need to advertise your YouTube channel ASAP to save these men @Travel memoir21Dude....you gotta think about the state of mind these dudes are in....maybe if they found this site or something, we could have saved some lives. Society teaches how to make money or how to get degrees or such and such but they don't teach some basic lessons on how to feel good without external validation and basic spiritual education/foundation. That's why I want to write a couple of books on these topics someday, I just need a good publisher.
Lol....I just made a new video...but I only got 8 views. It seems whenever I make videos about sight seeing, playing pick up basketball, going to the mall or seeing some cool mountain...I get a ton of views...but whenever I make some life changing advise that can benefit someone, my ratings starts going down and no one is interested.....maybe I'm shadow banned in that concept...you just never know.You need to advertise your YouTube channel ASAP to save these men @Travel memoir21
Not just incel status but being a loner/social reject in general. When was the last time a mass shooter was a quarterback on the football team or one of the "cool kids"?Mass shootings are often linked to incel status.
The Virginia Tech shooting in 2007 was perpetrated by an incel who was pissed about being an incel. He did also have mental illness diagnoses in his past.
Fate bestowed a most unique experience upon your classmates who are studying taxidermy: Very few in the history of our species spent finals stuffing clay into the carcasses of folks who'd been their lovers, roommates, and weed dealers, just a few days earlierWe have class on Mondays. And finals. I guess they’re expecting us to continue as normal as though two people haven’t died and others in the hospital
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.
Maybe that advise isn't so hot, and maybe people just want you to start a working out channel.Lol....I just made a new video...but I only got 8 views.

What are you talking about? Are you talking about some sort of Purgatory or something?I was near it, within 15 miles. I drove there all the way from Miami to visit a DMV.
It appears the guy had some sort of mental illness. That combined with conspiracy theories and you got a violent nervous break down. Now he's dead, he'll be dying every day for the next 10 to 15 years, before his actual death. He should have shot himself that day. Retard.
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.
