I thought.....project forum cleanup was under way. This kind of **** takes up webspace you know.
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.
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.

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.

damn, my bad. Course you have lives.....i mean, you're divorce is still going through right? and penkitten is looking after her god knows how many kids. Where'd you meet? the sad club for desparate losers?Originally posted by Giovanni Casanova
Wanna cry me a river?
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.
Thats not a question moron. It's a statement.Originally posted by Observe And Learn

Wow....i'm impressed with your arguing skills, or lack thereof. just inform me again....which cereal box did you get that off?Originally posted by penkitten

Then seriously, shut the f*ck up about it. And if you ever see a thread entitled "Giovanni and Penkitten" in the future, I will give you a secret hint... it might have to do with Giovanni and/or Penkitten. So if you have a problem with that, resist the urge to click, dumbass.Originally posted by jonny football hero
To your other point about my life, no i don't post about it, because quite frankly it does not concern you. I expect the same courtesy shown to me about yours. I don't wish to be told about your's and Gio sex lives in every post I read, you've found each other. Great. Good for you, but still, we don't give a monkeys about it.
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.
