"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"

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.

Crazed gunman entered Cole Hall (big lecture hall) and opened fire at Northern Illinois University, with a shotgun, glock, and pistol, killing 5 and wounding a dozen more before taking his own life.

This one hits a little close to home as I am an NIU alumnus and had more than a few classes at Cole Hall, and have friends still there. This is also about 2 weeks after there was a 5-victim murder in Tinley Park (a Chicago suburb) involving an NIU alumnus who was also a friend of mine.

Even the cornfields and suburbs aren't safe anymore, it's very creepy. Very shocking, especially considering how close these events were near each other, even if they were unrelated.

Still trying to get in touch with friends on campus to make sure it wasn't anyone I knew...

Glad you're alive bro.

My condolences ahead of time if it turns out you've lost anyone to this maniac.

Still all of these school shootings I think have a deeper meaning than just someone being nutty in the head and going off.

I think there is something deeply wrong with our culture and society that creates these monsters.

If everyone had guns these crazed criminals wouldn't be doing this -- this will be an excuse for gun control!!

This is a tragedy. The next tragedy will be the attempt to burn the Constitution by claiming people shouldn't own guns, for reasons such as this.

"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"

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.

I'm sending you my condolences as a VT Hokie. I actually went to high school with the VT shooter and 2 of the victims. It was just too close to home.

Even odds that the dude posted on here before. This place is a breeding ground for such souls.

Appears that the dude in Finland still has the lead in number of kills at a school this year. That dude actually shot a bunch of video and created a webpage. I guess the Finns really are Net savvy folk. And yes, Finland (like much of Europe) has a love affair with guns. Part of Finnish culture.

If everyone in the classroom had guns, they'd see the guy start firing wildly into the crowd, then everyone would simultaneously quickly reach into their jacket pockets, pull out their loaded berettas, and shoot the guy down from long range before he managed to kill anybody. Its that easy!


Really the only way for that argument to be viable and actually effective in a situation to prevent any loss of life is if every american had both a) loaded guns and b) the ability to predict the future.

I think there is something more to all these shootings other than just another nut loosing it and killing everyone. It seems to be happening alot now. Its something about the world,not blaming the world,cause everyone is responsible for there own actions. This is just all the inevitably bad stuff that is going to happen. You see No Country For Old Men? The Chigurgh character,is a metaphor for alot of this...
 

"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"

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.

Guns for everyone then. That'll work, people are basically good and trustworthy and won't use them when they're drunk or anything. Do the homeless get to have guns too?

Um, the kid wanted to die, as most of these gunman who do this type of thing do. Putting more guns into peoples hands will only feed the problem.
 

"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.
