You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.
For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.
Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.
The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.
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.
I dated a girl over 2 years ago and we raw dogged it. She was older and had had all her innarts removed so she couldn't get pregnant. I never have had any symptons but it's been looming in the back of my mind, did I catch something from her and not know it yet? I have thought about getting tested just to ease my mind. I'm not even sure where to go to get tested, my regular doctor??BlackDragon said:
.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.
Actually, you have it too! Almost everyone who has sex with more than 2-3 partners has had it, will get it, and/or it will clear the body within a few months. A very small percentage of infected people develop the symptoms, warts, assiciated with HPV. And there is no testing for males. Deal with it.sparky0000 said:HPV :cheer: . You have it. Hip Hip Hooray!!!!! About half of the 20-24 year old American broads have it. I would suspect that the old broads that you boys adore would almost always have it. Believe me, America is a great place to NOT have sex
