First dates are also awkward for two people who don't really know each other. Sometimes it is difficult to have fun when their is anxiety floating around.
"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.
Getting rejected alot after first dates.

- Start date
"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.

You're not talking about your racial theories on dates, are you? Talking about politics can make me lose a stiffy.

Racial theories? Since when do I have racial theories? Yes, I have talked bad about Muslims and Islam, but last I checked...they don't fit into the category of race.diplomatic_lies said:

haha, you seriously talk about religion on a first date?
Heres a few 'banned!' topics for first dates:
-religion (if you spent more than 2 minutes bagging muslims i personally wouldnt see you for a 2nd date)
-war
-aids
-politics
-anything negative about your social life/job/family/the place you are currently on your date
-abortion,marriage,divorce
-philosophy
-Boasting about anything (she WILL pickup on it)
- handicapped people, racism, bias' in general
- illegal acts in which you have participated
- death, the fungal infection on your arse
Basically try to avoid any topics which will cause feelings of sadness, boredom, anger from conflicting arguments, or portray you as a petty whinger (negativity)
I'll add to this list saturday, i'm off to a FBs house for a few days

"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.
